I would be more concerned about direct research funding from outside institutions. I put the same question to Dr. O'Reardon. The State provides a significant proportion of funding for the higher education institutions but there is money that comes from elsewhere and, with money, values are very often attached. Is Dr. O'Reardon happy that his Department has adequate oversight of where the universities source their money and the decisions a university might make as a result of sourcing that money elsewhere?
