Captive operations like in-plants support their parent organizations’ missions, bringing better flexibility and control. For this reason, insists one university administrator, the competition should be unfair.
It's the Institution's Money. In the end, all funds belong to the institution. A department's budget is not its own. Even for those departments that receive money from grants or from some kind of selling activity, those funds are derived through the greater strength of the institution.
