The reason is simply that I know several professors who I think are absolutely brilliant, yet bring in little money because they work in rather specialized fields, and, vice versa, I also know professors who academically average yet bring in lots of money as they are politically adept or pugnacious.Jeremy Smithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03426355083905119386noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-676886835535323001.post-37648380345214091502015-04-02T23:23:04.842-07:002015-04-02T23:23:04.842-07:00> The professors, who used to be recruited on t...> The professors, who used to be recruited on their academic brilliance and reputations, are now valued more on their, admittedly related, ability to bring in money.<br /><br />Their is more than a correlation, there is a causation, between "bringing money" and "brilliance and reputation".
