We are awash in content that needs to be taught, yet the vast majority of colleges give a large portion of their faculties' salaries to fund research.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
We spend more than a million dollars a year on our colleges and university, and it is money well spent; but we must have education that fits not the few but the many for the business of life.
As a society, we can and should invest more money in education.
It's really not about the money. It's just about educating yourself.
The amount of money we spend on education is important, but not nearly as important as how the money is spent.
We can't afford not to fully fund education.
Students and postdoctoral fellows largely depend on the support of the public sector to finance the training and research that will make them world-renowned scientists.
Our obsessive focus on college schooling has blinded us to basic truths. College is a place, not a magic formula. It matters what subjects students study, and subsidies should focus on the subjects that matter the most - not to the students, but to everyone else.
College graduates work in every sector of the American economy, and the research engines incubated within our universities generate a wealth of ideas and innovations that have an enormous impact on our lives.
Money is not the reason that people enter teaching.
Every dollar spent on education should go toward helping our teachers teach and our students learn.
