A very weak response(clap back) in defense of bread baking by an institution of higher learning


I understand they want to make money but it’s not an (big) achievement worthy of commendation by an institution of higher learning

The Lagos State University has replied critics of it's new bread business on it's twitter page. The University had announced a new Bread Bakery as shown in this thread https://www.nairaland.com/7634053/lasu-bread-lagos-state-university

In response to a critic that tweeted:

Isn't it worrisome that a UNIVERSITY is being applauded for opening a bakery when their counterparts outside the country are focused on researches and grants to increase IGR?

The University responded that:

Isn't it worrisome that when news of research grants and awards (and there are tons of them) from the university are posted on this same platform, they don't attract this level of engagements? 🤔

All campuses make money outside their primary assignment of higher education.

LASUs counterparts outside the country have exclusive campus cafes that sell snacks and coffee and cooked food daily.

They also have their shops that sell University merchandise to students such as monogrammed mugs, t-shirts, sweatshirts, pens and books.

With all that business, they still charge their students at least $10,000 for the cheapest course.

The university has every right to sell bread & beans with pure water all produced and branded with the University’s logo & colour. However, comparing such achievements(branded bread & pure water) or celebrating such as though it were a research grant or award is a very weak response. Period.

GetMeRight:


My own question is that: does producing bread stops the university from carrying out research or receiving grants?
Must every raw materials and ingredients being used be produced by the university? The aim is to make profit, not to prove anything.
