Finding a president for Case
Sunday, December 03, 2006 Within thirty years, no region of the U.S. will be prosperous without ties to a strong research university. That's where Northeast Ohio faces real challenges. Our strongest research university (some would argue our only research university) is Case Western Reserve, and Case Western is in trouble. As Clemson's president Jim Barker has noted: "The healthiest state and regional economies have been - and will continue to be - those where business has spun off from - and clustered around - strong research universities to create concentrated, self-sustaining economic activity in a specific industry sector." The University of Delaware recently announded a new president, and this article frames the emerging role of research universities in economic development rather clearly. Read more. Without strong preesidential leadership, Case Western is likely to continue on a downward trajectory. NorTech's core focus should be helping the new president rebuild the strengths and connections of Case Western within the region. posted by Ed |
