It really skews priorities at the University of Missouri (where I'm a faculty member). Way too much emphasis on post-docs, basic research, etc., and not enough on teaching, applied research, and serving the citizens of the state.

                         I'm talking about research in general, but AAU status - zounami MU - 4/22 07:51:48
