Brainard, Jeffrey; Southwick, Ron
Chronicle of Higher Education, v47 n48 pA20-A22 Aug 2001
Discusses how for fiscal year 2001, Congress earmarked more money for federal projects for specific colleges than ever before. It provided a 60 percent increase over the previous year, although such earmarks have drawn criticism as wasteful and harmful to merit-based competition for funds. Includes a list of top recipients of "pork." (EV)
