Resolution 81-82-01

Government Research Funding

The Faculty Senate believes that research funding is one of the most acute problems the University of Southern California will face in the foreseeable future. In the past three decades the Federal Government has underwritten a large proportion of all university research. This federal research support is being curtailed, drastically in certain areas, with even further cuts in prospect. If USC is to continue to prosper as an intellectual institution, contributing to the creation of new information and concepts, significant additional funding must be sought from private sources. The Faculty Senate urges that the acquisition of private funds for research purposes be one of the University=s highest priorities.
