Montana governor: Universities must be held accountable for taxpayer funds
Governor Brian Schweitzer of Montana took university officials to task on Tuesday for failing to provide what he thought constituted adequate oversight of federal research grants. Montana's public universities, which receive roughly $170 million in federal research money each year, have come under criticism for several dubious projects, including the $1.5 million Joe Skeen Institute for Rangeland Restoration. Kudos to Governor Schweitzer for urging these institutions to be good stewards of the funds American taxpayers generously provide.
