Poll: Americans look to colleges for research innovation - Jarrett Carter, Education Dive
A new study from the University of Chicago's Polsky Center for Entrepreneurship and Innovation shows that a majority of Americans look to colleges and universities to drive the nation's innovation imperatives. According to the survey, 71% of the respondents believe higher education to be a bigger factor in innovation than corporations or government, but they also said that the U.S. is behind other countries in research and development. With a sample size of 1,086 adults representing all 50 states, 61% of participants said that universities play “about the same role they have always played” in the future of innovation, but only 25% said that institutions are “leading the charge more than ever before.”
