5 5 A. Commercialization and Venture Formation What, if any, incentives or support should universities provide to encourage entrepreneurship and venture formation among their faculty and students? Should disclosures, patents, startups, or successful commercialization efforts be considered in promotion and tenure decisions? Should universities invest directly in spin-out companies? B. Inclusion and Diversity How does a lack of diversity affect the ability to innovate? In what ways should diversity and inclusion be included as a component to strengthen and improve our educational programs? How can we use innovation and entrepreneurship to appeal to underrepresented students and increase participation? C. Student and Faculty Engagement Is your institution better suited for a bottom-up (student-led) or top-down (administrative) approach to changing the innovation and entrepreneurship ecosystem? How can your college best leverage student and faculty partnerships and leadership to create lasting institutional change?
