A Brookings Institution study prepared for the U S Commissioner of Education argues federal aid to education can help and harm. It notes about $1 billion yearly goes to higher education, mainly for research and faculty salaries, with funds often controlled by agencies tied to results. The report warns that aid concentrates in a few large universities, draws top minds away from teaching and non science fields, and accelerates talent to lucrative research, while small schools struggle.
