Outlets Syndicate Op-ed Warning of Cuts to Federal Funding for Basic Research

The op-ed advocating against cuts to federal funding for basic research, originally published in The Hill, is receiving additional coverage in outlets across the country. The Daily Journal (Kankakee, IL); Claremore Daily Progress (Claremore, OK); Our Town (New York, NY); The Gilmer Mirror (Gilmer, TX), and The News-Herald (Southgate, MI), have all republished the piece by Provost and Executive Vice President Jerry Balentine, D.O.

“Far from reducing the debt burden, cuts to federal funding contribute to it by diminishing the fund of new knowledge that drives economic growth,” he writes.
