"MAICgregator":http://maicgregator.org is a Firefox extension that aggregates information about colleges and universities embedded in the military-academic-industrial complex (MAIC). It searches government funding databases, private news sources, private press releases, and public information about trustees to try and produce a radical cartography of the modern university via the replacement or overlay of this information on academic websites. This is a necessary activity in light of the contemporary financial "crisis". Much more information about MAICgregator can be found by reading the "MAICgregator statement":http://maicgregator.org/statement or the "MAICgregator FAQ":http://maicgregator.org/FAQ .
