Campus Connection: Gopher wishes University of Minnesota were more like UW

….While itâ??s easy to disregard compliments of Wisconsinâ??s flagship institution or the stateâ??s business climate when they come from internal cheerleaders, itâ??s a little harder when the one singing the praises is a rival.

“Wisconsin as a state has done far more to create an entrepreneurial ecosystem that can really support the innovation that comes out of the university, help convert it to jobs and products, and help keep them in the state,” Tim Mulcahy, the University of Minnesotaâ??s vice president for research, told the Star Tribune.
