There are 1000s of state and community colleges. Not everyone is doing groundbreaking research. Some places, they just teach, which is fine. Additionally, I have no idea what you're trying to say.

They don't need to be, they only need to be able to understand recent, groundbreaking papers in their fields, and be able to bounce ideas with colleagues in different disciplines who walk up to them.
Insinuating that faculty staff are either on the bleeding edge or useless is a false dichotomy.
