Governor Bev Perdue (NC), to help out her budget, was trying to take all of the grant money away from the universities. I cannot stress how stupid this is!!
If you take the grant money away..the universities may as well just shut their doors because:
A: They have no more money for research..which in turn makes the university more money
B: No one will ever give money to universities again because the money is not being used for what was intended.
I’m terribly disappointed that she even considered this. During the election I would have voted for her (but I can’t I’m a green card holder) and then to hear that she didn’t have the sense to ignore this idea makes me really pissed off. The only reason she backed down on it was due to the outcry and the difficulty in getting the money out of our cold dead hands.
She needs to sort out her priorities.
