Coors Light is a beer?
I think school officials and liberals in general see money as an entitlement. They want it and somebody provides it...free...with no strings or attachments.
When I worked for a professor who lived off grants he and his students saw the money as free. Suddenly, at the end of a grant they’d have to (resentfully) produce a paper. I remember the proff asking, “what was it they wanted us to prove?” Somehow, the data proved whatever the grant giver wanted proved. I’m pretty sure that’s how the Global Warming scam works too.
My son got his Masters in Urban Planning from UI, which kept him from having to deal with all the liberal political stuff; after two years in WI, he’s working in Phoenix and likes the attitude there, but not the hot summer.
