Correct. But universities want researchers because they bring in research grants (which provide the university 50%+ in overhead: slush funds).

It seems the state schools don't have as much incentive for that. The university president decided to build a conference center while I was at school. They didn't have all the money secured, so the state jumped in to pay a lot and tuition. Went up substantially. They're already cheap so the have no competition pressure and they know the state will bail them out.
