Inside Higher Ed: N.Y. Plans a College Database
New York State’s Commission on Independent Colleges and Universities and the State University of New York announced a partnership on Tuesday to create an online portal intended to give businesses access to information about academic research and enable college students to search for internships and jobs in New York State.
Project developers said they hope the portal stimulates the state economy by fostering partnerships between businesses, nonprofit organizations and private and public institutions. Companies would be able to search the site for research on a particular topic and find a professor who specializes in that field. Institutions that are members of CICU or that are part of SUNY — about 175 between the two — would be asked to provide relevant resources.
