The research — that I have been involved in off and on for many years — must be secondary to good teaching and overall education. It helps attract good faculty, and keeps them current in their field. But unless this knowledge and capability is passed on the students, at some level, it is not part of what the university is for.

Just something to consider when we publicise our accomplishments.
