Passage Summary: Carla argues that research leaves help professors teach better; David responds by asking why we should pay for them to stop teaching to do research.

Conclusion: David suggests that limited resources should not be used to fund professors' research leaves.

Reasoning: David questions why resources should support professors 'taking time off from teaching,' even if research has benefits.

Analysis: David’s response is a bit of a 'ships passing in the night' situation. He characterizes research leaves as simply 'taking time off from teaching,' which completely ignores Carla’s central premise: that the research actually makes them *better* at teaching. By framing the leave as a vacation rather than a professional development tool, he fails to address the substance of Carla's argument. Look for an answer that points out how David ignores the purported benefits to teaching that Carla mentioned.
