Nothing is free, including Research. While I believe Research is critical to our economy, welfare, and national security, I also believe that any entity that takes the taxpayer dollar directly, is in no position to be taking positions on political and social issues; including, being intolerant of ethnic, religious, and political groups. I also believe there needs to be more transparency and accountability ability as to how the taxpayer dollars are being spent within the mission.
The Ivy Leagues have violated everything I just stated on behalf of the taxpayer. If they want $100s of millions annually from the taxpayer, they need to be more accountable, more tolerant, and more politically neutral.
