I would have liked it placed in context in the witness's opening statement because it uses up time and it is a serious issue - not just for UCC but across the board with every institution that comes before us. I refer to spinout companies and the use of public facilities, public land and university resources. What is the return? Bald statements are being made that it is good for the taxpayer but I do not know that. I see that the share was sold off. I would like it in context please.
