Since this has come up, I would be interested to know what others think
the definition of "competing with the private sector" is. I don't think
any academic facility purposely goes after outside users by undercutting
the "competition". We just provide a service that is demanded in situations
where there are no private service facilities within a reasonable distance
and/or that can provide the services needed. I am more than happy to raise
my rates well beyond those of for-profit facilities (I don't really
like outside users).....if only there were some around here for people to
use...
