Columbus Dispatch, Tuesday, July 6
Column by University of Akron president Luis Proenza says many states that
were previously noncompetitive economically have surged ahead of Ohio.
Many of these states also built research-and-development capacity of
exceptional quality within their universities, and, by comparison, Ohio and
other Midwest states have lagged in inovation and lost market share in
research and development.  In the most recent U.S. News and World Report
rankings none of Ohio's public universities were among the top 25 percent
of the national universities, and only three, Miami University, Ohio State
University and Ohio University, were in the top half.
