GOVERNMENT MONEY == GOVERNMENT STRINGS
The only way to avert entanglements is to take a pass on the $$$. As government becomes more oppressive, the decision to push their cash back in their bureaucratic faces and tell them to "Buzz off" will pay enormous dividends. Schools that refuse the dirty funds will be able to offer an educational product free from government-imposed gobbledy-gook, and, thus, head and shoulders above what their former peers can offer.
Near-term pain will be greater long-term gain.

It's hard for education bureaucrats to resist money. They can hear the sound of a wallet opening a hundred yards away.
