Bruininks said students feel the impact of the top-three initiative in the sense that it's a "different approach for education."

The criticism is directed at OurLeader who on one hand argues that a research oriented faculty will be better teachers.
But on the other hand, the reward for being a good researcher is minimization of teaching duties - the slack being picked up by adjuncts.
You can't have it both ways, Bob.
