    So then it does not "involve exactly what it would for a US citizen". As a US citizen, I do not have to make sure someone will sponsor me.

    That is not the purpose of the H1-B program. If you would like to hire those from another country, fine, but they dont get to jump to the front of the immigration line jsut because you want cheaper labor.

    Also the US candidate is asking for what the job is worth if you want the job done in the USA.

    The reason H1-B exists is because the companies dont want to, or cant offshore the job.

    Your last sentence is counter to the entirety of your post.

    It is not fat shaming to want to help your employees get/stay in shape. As a fatty trying to lose weight to get healthy I love this idea. But who said it was be enfoced? I have not seen one of these programs that is not optional.

    And because 80% of the women coming from deep in South America are raped by the time they cross the border it all had to happen in MExico? or by Mexicans?

    And no, he did not say what you claimed he said, he said

    And no, you did not comment on the other 2 pieces

    When Mexico sends its people, they're not sending their best...They're bringing drugs. They're bringing crime. They're rapists

    That is generalizing Mexican immigrants as rapists.

    ahh it was only out of her eyes.....

    If it was just her eyes then there would not be this issue, but he implied more.

    or the fact that the woman wanted to take a break to breast pump, there is no evidence she wanted to do it in front of him, other than solely what he said, not her.

    If it is an attack on him by CNN, then CNN and FOX have found a mutual enemy because FOX has attacked him about as well

    As for the comment about immigrants, he said they're rapists, he did not leave it up to some being rapist, he vastly generalized them.

    In what way? again, you are still employed, so that year does not get any special treatment unless you want it to, then the new position would look like a transition into a new position at that time. It would look the same as if you took a different posistion at the company.

    At my uni is is either 26 or 52% depending on if it is primarily off/on campus research grants, how ever I am not sure how that claim will hold. Computer equipmnet is normally in the grant, if not the school computers were probably used. You normally have tech support services, datacenters, and a whole host of other things available to you, but if you chose to use cloud computing that is really on you, and does not lower the cost to maintain the other services in case you need them.

    BTW it looks like the indirect rate at SD is 55%, however you could get around that with multiyear awards, as they only charge on the first 25k of the grant, no matter how long the grant is for.

    However if you read it the NIH grants are actually made to both

    Principal investigators (PIs) on an NIH grant must contact NIH through their institution to seek prior approval for a change of institution. NIH grants are made to institutions, not to individuals. When a PI moves to another institution, the original grantee institution frequently agrees to relinquish the grant to the PIs new institution but NIH must approve this transfer. If the original grantee institution does not wish to relinquish the grant, they must seek NIH approval to appoint a new PI to the grant. NIH must assess whether the project can continue under the new scientific leadership at the original institution, and if so will approve a change in PI. If not, the grant is terminated

    I resend this partially. It seems the school owned the research but the professor is still tied to many of the grants. It is going to be a bumpy ride.

    work-for-hire does not work here. The professor got the grant, and the grant is typically tied to the professor, not the university, in fact a lot of times you get hired specifically because YOU have grants. At the CSC department for the school I work for I would get in computers from other schools (computers tied to the grant not owned by the school) to attach to our network every time a new professor transfered in. As for staff, it too is usually tied to the grant. Grad students are paid by grant money the professor has.

  24. Re:Seems easy to me on USC Vs. UC San Diego In Fight Over Alzheimer's Research · · Score: 1

    Well it also depends on who owns the computers. Computers used in research are usually tied into the research grant, at least at the uni I work at, therefore the professor could probably just come get, everything. The way the grant is written is going to be key, how ever the professor really screwed up here. I dont know how this school works, but I know at mine the uni tries to keep a good relationship with the professors who move on.
