Yes, some money is delegated by the centre back into active research
but certainly not all. Moreover, it is directed according to central
policies which have a range of interests in mind.
I believe this tension between centre and periphery, general
administration on the one hand and teaching and research (both) on
the other, is manifested in many instances of struggle for control
over resources. From my narrow perpective, it seems as though the
power of the centre is growing at teh present time.
So, bigger issue there, I suppose.
