Changes

The faculty at Loyola University Maryland have very limited minimal encouragement to pursue I&E ventures in their research.  Before the professors are tenured the research is scientifically based, with papers and theses following.  Once the professor is tenured a contract is set in place for further research, but at present very few of these contracts lead to entrepreneurial research.  A trend is in place for more accountable and funded research.  However, until professors on Loyola’s campus are supported in innovation and creativity based studies a key aspect of the I&E environment on campus is still lacking.
