No Federalization of UNLV

for Nagamine's state salary of $72,072, the university gets that back several times over because of the grant.

The federal government (via the NSF) has no more constitutional authority to fund astronomy research than Japan's government does to fund foreign military adventures. That half the grant is skimmed for UNLV overhead (a typical expense factor) is a backdoor federalization of university support. Nagamine's grant should be cancelled, and the money returned to US taxpayers.

UNLV's Professor of Basketball makes $1M per year. Fire him and replace him with Nagamine. Cut the jocks. Nagamine can build a squad from his lab crew. Now *that* would be a college team!
