Charles Vest quotes
" Agency by agency, we frequently have lost a bit of ground, at least to inflation-but had it not been for the efforts we've made to educate people about the importance of science, technology and advanced education, those predictions very well might have come true. "

Charles Vest
" For much of this decade, both Congressional and administration budget projections showed a decline in science and technology accounts of between 20 and 30 percent in real dollars. The real impact to date has been far less severe. "

Charles Vest
" Given the best of all possible worlds, I would make a few changes. I would place emphasis on increasing the amount of funding that goes into programs like Pell Grants, that purely and simply award funds to students who really cannot afford full tuition. "

Charles Vest
" I believe that our office has clearly been the leader in building coalitions, in getting other universities across the contrary to interact more effectively with the government and particularly the Congress. "

Charles Vest
" I encouraged the Clinton administration to recreate Charles Vest. That didn't mean that I wanted or intended to a member. "

Charles Vest
" I think, on the whole, we should be very pleased that the administration and the Congress have agreed on substantial increases-through both tax policy and scholarship programs-to financial aid at the undergraduate level. "

Charles Vest
" I would also certainly continue to keep loan repayment interest rates as low as possible. And I would spread the financial aid a little less thinly across all income brackets. "

Charles Vest
" It is difficult to quantify the value of the activities of our Washington office-Jack Crowley, Toby Smith and their colleagues. But my own view is that it's at least been worth its weight in platinum. "

Charles Vest
" Literally from the moment I came in the door of MIT, it was very clear that a highly productive 40-year partnership between U.S. research universities and the federal government was badly eroding. "

Charles Vest
" Looking ahead, I believe that the underlying importance of higher education, of science, of technology, of research and scholarship to our quality of life, to the strength of our economy, to our security in many dimensions will continue to be the most important message. "

Charles Vest
" Many of the victories that have been won have been the things that didn't happen. Let me cite one specific example. The change in tuition remission policy for our graduate research and teaching assistants was delayed by nine years from the point at which it was first scheduled. "

Charles Vest
" Nonetheless, the research budgets of the Department of Defense are under enormous stress-and they are extremely important because they support more than 40 percent of all federal funding for engineering schools across the country. So the threat was and is real. "

Charles Vest
" Of course, tax revenues have ended up being substantially higher than they were at the time these dire projections were made, and we are very close now to having a balanced budget. All that has been very helpful. "

Charles Vest
" On the other hand, it is not fair to say that changes in federal policy have caused our tuition to rise faster. Every economic argument imaginable would indicate that we should raise tuition at a faster rate than we do. "

Charles Vest
" Our goal has been to more effectively promote the value of publicly-supported research at our universities, both to the Congress and to the general public. "
