I've been observing that universities tend to have professors do both research and teach. In reality, most of the professors would rather spend all of their time researching.
The problem lies in that fact that teacher's assistants frequently do most of the teaching, especially in larger universities (the research powerhouses). I think this would degrade the quality of education that students get.
So, I believe that we should have mixed universities with dedicated teachers, and some part teacher, part researcher professors. Dedicated teachers to improve education quality, but some researchers becuase it offers oppurtunities to university students.
Any thoughts?
