Chancellor John Bardo
Over the course of the last decade, globalization has created profound changes in the nature of the world and national economies.  Concern for the country’s economic future has risen to a major national policy issue, and states are looking for answers to an increasingly complex set of issues involving the economic future of their cities, towns and communities.  In this new economy, higher education can be viewed as the foundation for innovation, entrepreneurship and development.  At the i7 Futures Forum at Western Carolina University on April 5th, Chancellor John Bardo challenged current R&D policies which tend to centralize R&D dollars and focus mainly on basic research.  Dr. Bardo proposed strategies for increased national competitiveness based on changes to the R&D system.
