| In 2020, Mary Sue Coleman, president of the Association of American
| Universities (which represents America's leading research
| universities) wrote that:
|
|| [T]here have been many ... incidents of U.S. researchers
|| allegedly failing to properly disclose relations with outside
|| governments or otherwise safeguard their research from foreign
|| intervention.
||
|| ...
||
|| Many of these ideas and technologies are important to national
|| security. U.S. universities and institutions are taking steps to
|| ensure that we protect the intellectual capital generated through
|| taxpayer-supported federal research. [O]ur institutions take these
|| issues seriously.
||
|| ...
||
|| Leaders at these universities are ... alert[ing] all their
|| researchers about possible security threats and to clarify security
|| protocols. And research administrators are directly engaging faculty
|| who have significant levels of foreign research engagement to ensure
|| that they fully understand their responsibilities. ... Universities
|| are developing new training programs for both faculty and students
|| to educate them about security risks and to make them aware of
|| ethical research practices that must be followed.
||
|| ...
||
|| Crucially, universities are establishing stronger relations with
|| their local FBI offices and other federal law-enforcement agencies.
|| ... New processes are now commonplace for monitoring data systems
|| and networks for cyberintrusions, reporting suspected breaches and
|| improving data security. ... [O]ur members are expanding required
|| security screening to cover all visiting scholars.69
|
| Coleman concludes that:
|
|| [I]f universities fail to police themselves adequately in these
|| areas, we face the specter of more draconian reactions from
|| lawmakers.
||
|| The good news is that members of the Association of American
|| Universities and others are stepping up to the plate and taking
|| actions to secure sensitive research. We hope all universities will
|| follow our example.70
|
| It does not appear that all universities are indeed following the
| example. "Administrators say the universities briefed by the FBI
| have not yet implemented additional monitoring protocols. They say
| they have pushed back because of skepticism of the threat level and
| because the FBI requests lack specificity in implementation."71 FBI
| Director Wray has testified that "I think the level of naivete on
| the part of the academic sector about this creates its own
| issues."72

Has Bill Stepien surveyed legacy American proles on their position on
the giant sucking sound of .GOV/.MIL/.COM R&D dollars flowing into
Big .EDU and the findings flowing out to .CN?

"I dunno. I know several competent people who applied for Trump
jobs. They weren't even considered. Why? Apparently Reince Priebus
was doing the hiring, and he wasn't hiring Trump supporters. Have
someone else do the hiring and you never know ..." - Mickey Kaus <URL:https://twitter.com/kausmickey/status/1551339291288035328>
