Bob, as a footnote. 
PP is not a part of my issues. It never has been. 

Regarding your comments I think you succumb to the  ".... doth protest too much" on this issue. 

If you have professionals on staff, and you pay their salaries, cost recovery activities affect the bottom line and do indeed profit the institution. I have no knowledge that that is the case here, but then I doubt if you do either.
