| Statewide Interest: |
| A major objective of a college or univerity is the development and provision of educational, cultural, professional, technical and vocational services to the community. Universities contribute to regions through four main avenues:
-Universities earn income, spend that income and attract students who also spend. This has direct and multiplier or flow-on effects.
-Universities undertake research and development that could be focused on regional issues and/or have commercial application.
-Universities educate the labor force. This in turn can assist in attracting industry to a region and assist in the cultual and social development of the region.
-Universities can contribute to the social and cultural life of the region. They provide infrastructure, fulfill community service obligations and provide community volunteers. |
