The Rockefeller Institute released a new report on the importance of higher education to economic growth. Authored by David Schaffer (a speaker at the 2008 NYSHEI annual meeting), the report describes trends and policies that are serving to push the academy to the fore in economic development.
Strongly supporting the same arguments NYSHEI has used to propel academic and research libraries into public policy debates in New York State, Mr. Schaffer’s report defines a “new paradigm for economic development programs – one that puts higher education at the center of states’ efforts to succeed in the knowledge economy.”
