Likewise, Caltech’s case falls far short of a “proof.” Caltech’s emphasis on science research means that its faculty members can rely on federal agencies and other grant-givers for funding??a luxury that many Harvard humanities professors don’t enjoy. Whereas Caltech derives more than 40 percent of its revenue from research grants and contracts, Harvard’s Faculty of Arts and Sciences derives just 17 percent of its income from those sources. In other words, Harvard must be more reliant on private...
...they are also assigned to entryways. Prefects indirectly received $20 per student for entryway study breaks throughout the year. That funding is administered by freshman proctors.Haining Gouinlock ’07, a Prefect Program board member and future advising fellow, said the prefects received “very little funding?? from the College.“Every once in a while the F[reshman] D[ean’s] O[ffice] would give us a grant for freshman-wide events,” she said.

This is not to say that Harvard...

But there’s no guarantee, professors say, that their future work will not suffer—most directly in the form of a drop in government funding??if alternatives to evolution continue to take hold...
