The government is already picking the winners and losers as far as academia is concerned, and has been for a long time.
What has the gov't been doing in this regard?

They fund basically the entirety of academia... the whole of academia, and most non-corporate research, is focused almost entirely around qualifying for government grants. It's where all the funding comes from, for most research institutes and colleges

Oh, interesting. For private institutions too, via grants?
How is it decided who gets what grants?
you know science and research is something there's a lot of room for work in, and something that is going to be difficult to completely automate away. Maybe this sector can expand more in the future in the private sector.

Hm I guess apparently that trend is happening... I've been out of research for quite a few years now, but it looks like maybe that sort of thing is changing: https://www.sciencemag.org/news/2017/03/data-check-us-government-share-basic-research-funding-falls-below-50
But for specifically gender studies, here are for example UCLA's gender studies funding list: https://gender.ucla.edu/resources/graduate-students-resources/funding/
And here is Rutger's University gender studies funders list: https://womens-studies.rutgers.edu/resources/funding-resources
Some look to be government funds, some look to be private foundations. It'd be interesting to find lists like this from all the major universities regarding this subject, and cross-reference them to find the shared investors between all schools. I wonder where that money comes from
