The US is in the hands of a regime that is hostile to education, and wants to defund research. I would not be surprised if his nibs, or the Sec Ed, would offer that the only thing of value at U of M is the football team.

Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahhaha!
Okay, sure.

Meanwhile, in the real world, Big Ten universities are doing world class research into quantum computing and hypersonics. Can you guess why that might be?

And why rational people find such work more valuable like this:

While much is known about the prevalence, incidence and risk factors associated with problem gambling at the population level, less is known about the nature of the relationships between risk factors and gambling, as well as the actual behavioral mechanisms that govern the development and maintenance of gambling. The present research aims to develop and test an innovative animal model of slot machine gambling with pigeons using a token economy. The rigorous control permitted by laboratory methods enables an experimental investigation of the development and maintenance of gambling behavior, as well as for testing some of the key hypotheses advanced to account for gambling.

I'm sure in some minds this is valuable, Nobel-prize winnings stuff, amirite?
