This article is amazing. Per the author, NIH funding is what keeps elite universities like Harvard, with billion dollar endowments, afloat. Limiting "indirect costs" to 15% of the grant is going to cause puppies to die and children to starve.

So not only is higher education fleecing it's customers (the students), but it can't survive without govt subsidies. Incredible.
