We should learn from the experiences of the research flagships. They are losing students who are sick of having their educations playsecond fiddle to the research objectives of the university. Weshouldn't seek to emulate them or we will fall victim to theirfailures. We need to ensure that students understand and appreciate themultifaceted life of faculty members. Bringing research into theclassroom is one way to do so.
Regional campuses are captive to the overload process.
Facultyincome is generated by overload teaching not research, so teachingextra is the rational choice financially.
