On the academic side, many of the that you deride generate money because they bring in private and government grants. Yet they also require investment, and staffing.

I didn’t deride university research centers. I just gave an anecdote of a university administrator, highly paid, presumably, with funds generated by research centers, abusing her power.</p>

<p>I don’t have time here today to explain in details how research centers and institutes are funded and run. But you apparently know nothing about these ‘study centers’ you are talking about. Most research centers requires little or no net investment or staffing from the university, and those do, are similar to academic departments in science and engineering. There is little room for bloating of the administrative staff. </p>

<p>The key to research centers/institutes is the faculty, who make scientific discoveries and bring in grant moneys.</p>
