> Plenty of new faculty are more interested in research than teaching too.

Partly, because they're evaluated on research.

But are being paid by tuition revenue, from people who expect them to teach.

The US needs more national labs for people who want to do research but don't want to teach.

and better pay and tenure options for people who don't want to do research but are good at and put significant amounts of work into teaching.

I agree. I was envisioning that after we shipped the people who don't like teaching off to national labs that the universities would just focus on teaching and could pay those people better.
