Graduates from France, Spain, Germany and India have been recruited to fill the gap in what is seen as an increasingly globalized job market for drug development.

That's funny. Most chemistry departments in the US are profitable. Colleges would lose money by eliminating them. I guess that is one of the many problems with the quasisocialist mindset. Profit is the source of all evil, so set the schools up so departments can't make a profit, then whine about it when they get cut.
