If, for example, you work at a public university, tenure prevents the state government from firing you for a political disagreement. You still need to find grant funding, but that funding can come from any outside source. It's up to those outside sources what they want to fund, but no individual source has complete control over the researcher. It's pretty rare that universities ever fund research directly in most fields. | |
