Kauffman Foundation Once Again Shows Us How
In its continuing efforts to see entrepreneurship education become a common and accessible campus-wide opportunity, the Ewing Marion Kauffman Foundation announced its second Kauffman Campuses Initiative with a $35 million commitment to colleges and universities throughout the country.
The Kauffman Campuses Initiative was launched in 2003, when eight schools were awarded a total of $25 million to transform the campus culture by providing entrepreneurship courses and programs within liberal arts, engineering and other disciplines outside of the business school.

I note that the Kauffman Institute announcements do not follow up on the earlier initiatives to detect whether the efforts earlier have led to an improvement in entrepreneurial activity. In our community at least, the Kauffman grants have led to more faculty at the local beneficiary institution, but we are not experiencing an obvious increase in new firms or employment as a result. Is the Institute interested in information from the grassroots about success/failures or other results of its grantees' efforts?
