"Following the events of Sept. 11, 2001, a lot of private research dollars vanished. . .Meanwhile, as state governments across the nation cut spending on higher education, universities increasingly turn to external funding for dollars, creating intense grant competition -- competition that wasn't anticipated when the facility was proposed and constructed."



Why do I get the feeling that they should save this document with fill-in fields, so it can be used again when the proposed fake rainforest in Coralville is added to the list?
