Eilberg Amendment (1976): Difference between revisions

We have to stop this.... This is not a thousand-year-old tradition; this has to do with Vannevar Bush, the endless frontier, the expansion of the post secondary education system. You know, I was hanging out with the provost at the UCSD and he didn't even understand the effect of the Eilberg Amendment of 1976, Bayh-Dole in 1980, the fraudulent NSF and NAS projections of a looming shortage that opened the floodgates of foreign labor inside universities; its misclassification as student apprenticeship, there's an entire recent horrible history of turning the modern Professor into a serf, not just the graduates student into a serf, but attempt to destroy academic freedom. If you cannot tell people to screw off and know that you are still funded the next day, and you can still come into your office, the field is lost.
