166,000 research dollars per professor

9/8/2010: Bill Graves of the Oregonian has a story on the latest results on research spending at Oregon universities:

The average UO professor brings in a lot more than I would have guessed! I wonder that the median is. We’ve reported before that UO’s research expenditures on a per student basis were 63% of the average Carnegie public research school, for 2008. This is why UO needs to get serious about redirecting money away from administration and towards academics. But instead we get reports about new spending for a police force, etc. Who establishes these priorities?
