Second, the issue of support. "My" university has changed dramatically under the current campus President. Even under the previous campus administrations, the only supported entities were those for administrative computing controlled
by the administration and that has, and had, no academic freedom. Worthless for any research that interested me. Most of these functions have been outsourced at this time. The administrators in these areas have no background in science or engineering, but
rather "management". I am not deprecating anyone, merely putting things into perspective. There is no internal support at my campus for academic freedom curiosity-directed disciplinary research, with some support for some persons to secure external funding.
My funding to do any of this was external, not internal.
