Evan Dobelle, president and CEO of the New England Board of Higher Education and former president of the University of Hawaii, has compiled a new list–One that measures the school’s stature on teh strnegth of its commitment to helping save the cities in which they inhabit:
“These are engines of renewal and revitalization in cities and towns that would be spiraling downward in every indices of quality of life without their direct and indirect involvement in neighborhoods and communities,” Dobelle said. He said the criteria included long-term commitment, the amount of real dollars invested from endowments, the relationship with city officials, the continuing student and faculty involvement, and the sustainability of the projects.
