6. I fully support
privatization. My point is that the government is pushing these semiprivate universities over the edge to the point that they don't realize how good a deal they have it. Yale Corp. endowments grow by about $5 million a day. My father and grandfather both graduated from Yale and fully support privatization and independence as well. I'm just one to favor open-source information especially when it concerns medical research. But if you twist their arms too hard, then I feel they won't hesitate to back out of NIH contracts and capitalize off their inventions.

I will be curious to see what happens when the these colleges continue to ban military recruiters after reaching a point where they aren't reluctant on grants. Will the NIH pull their grants? I guarantee there will be quite a stir behind some closed doors, but in the end I think the government will find that it's in the best interest of the nation to continue these grants.
