Some people are critical of professors who spend more time on their research than with their students. They suggest that students are being neglected by the professors who are supposed to be educating them. However, this view is far too simplistic because it ignores how students can benefit from the research of their professors. Therefore, I feel that professors should spend more time doing research, because it benefits the students, as well as the world in general.
First of all, the research could have great importance in the real world and could one day lead to real breakthroughs, like a cure for cancer or a solution to global warming. This research could make a difference to millions worldwide. It, therefore, seems fair that a professor should spend more time doing research than giving lectures to students.
In addition, if a professor’s research was successful it could benefit the university and the students in two ways. First, the university would be able to receive grants and funding to continue with further research. This money would help the university improve their research facilities, which would benefit the students who use these facilities. Secondly, recognition of the research would improve the reputation and standing of the university, which is something that would also benefit the students who studied there by association.
