A MODEST PROPOSAL

. . . for Saving University Research
from the Budget Butcher

September 1994



This essay argues that faculty at major universities, facing a massive "assault on faculty research time," have the opportunity to "co-opt the revolution" by replacing the current model for funding university research with the model presently used by publishing houses. Universities should fund all research prospectively, one at a time, and require any professor whose research has not been funded to fill the rest of his or her schedule with teaching.
