higher ed costs and administration

[Nitwit]

Didn’t say that they did. Sorry you misinterpreted

This is what you said:
If you’re talking federal, must have full funding authorized and appropriated for a project. R and d funding works a little differently.

I didn’t misinterpret anything. You made a misstatement of fact. Federal contracts which are incrementally funded do NOT need to have full funding authorized and appropriated for a project at inception. A five year contract for example can be awarded for the full amount but funded annually.

do you think that she is analyzing the financial benefit of a Cornel degree over tOSU? if you look at some of the most recent studies, it is showing that major is frequently more important than school brand = so a BS BioEng from say Buffalo Univ may be far better than a BA English from Williams. in the latter you need to go on to apply to law school, etc.

If you know the Chinese (I have had 2 Chinese wives), it is a pure prestige decision. It is ingrained in the Chinese culture to try to impress others.
