maintaining faculty morale and
salaries, that it provides important
facilities that wouldn't otherwise
be available and considerably
strengthens the graduate training
program.
An additional point should be
noted here. Under the philosophy
that all University educational
and research activities incur in-
direct costs, it is a necessary
corollary that any money received
by the University for specific ac-
tivities brings indirect costs with
it. This includes large gifts.
To take a recent example, when
a generous donor gives $6 million
for a children's hospital, this is
well and good. But somebody is
going to have to maintain that
building and pay the utilities bills,
not to mention staffing it. These
are all indirect costs, and its has
to be decided in such cases if the
University is willing and able to
accept these responsibilities.
Individual Scrutiny
Pierpont explains that in each
case such gifts are evaluated in-
dividually for their total impact
on the University and their place
in the University's functions. From
this evaluation, the indirect cost
analysis is taken into considera-
tion if applicable.
If the administrators think they
can find the money to cover the
indirect costs and the faculty in-
volved can persuade them that
such costs are a small price to
pay for whatever is offered in the
gift, then the money will be ac-
cepted.
In the case of grants from pri-
vate foundations, the foundations
usually pay little, if any, indirect
costs. Here again, such grants
must be assessed individually to
determine if they are desirable
from a cost - to - the - University
standpoint.

* Research vs. education? There
are two not - very - well - defined
schools of thought on the indirect-
costs deficit, which would affect
instruction expenditures.
Using the government's indirect-
cost computation principles, the
total of indirect costs incurred by
sponsored research at the Univer-
sity can be computed. Subtract the
receipts for indirect cost payments,
and you have the deficit, at least
theoretically.
For example, using A-21 guide-
lines, accountants might determine
that the indirect costs being in-
curred by the University because
of the presence of $30 million
worth of sponsored research on
campus are $8.5 million. If the
University is able to collect $6
million in indirect costs payments,
then, logically, there is a deficit
of $2.5 million.
A figure of $2.5 million was ac-
tually given as the University's
one-year indirect-costs deficit
several years ago.
Assumptions
All this, of course, assumes that
indirect costs are real costs that
have to be paid for now, not 20
years from now. It also assumes
that the money collected is really
needed for indirect-cost expenses,
i.e., that cost-cutting devices can-
not save some of this money for
other purposes.
With these assumptions, such
a deficit can be covered from on;y
one place-General Funds supplied
by the state appropriations and
student fees.
Since General Funds money is
largely used for instructional pur-
poses, it follows that, if $2.5 mil-
lion of it is used to pay for re-
search's indirect costs, education
is getting the short end of the
deal, and research is thus hurting
education. Q.E.D.

However, Pierpont explains that ministration result.
the computational logic is not
that simple. The basic problem, Faculty First
he says, is one of molding all Pierponthalso emphasizes that
sources of funds for the Univer- it is with the faculty that all re-
sity into a cohesive whole, ;ot of Searchtproposals originate. Since
breaking the University down into indirect costs must somehow be

Discussion should therefore cen-

it is these restrictions which make
it difficult to run the University
