SAN JOSE, Calif. – New federal proposals would significantly change how research is conducted at universities, placing tough restrictions on foreign-born scientists and tightening access to equipment and computers.
UW-Madison researchers said the proposed rules could create problems for them. Universities are exempt from most federal controls on their work because they conduct what the government calls “fundamental research” – work that is taught in open classrooms, published in journals and shared openly with the scientific community.
