  2. Claim #1: University ent. measurements in isolation are unsatisfying and miss large swaths of important insights about networks.

  3. Claim #2: Measurement (i) discourages intra-campus fratricide; (ii) promotes inter-campus info. flows; and (iii) proxies are “good enough” to be directionally correct.

  5. “Many of the advantages that attend densely networked entrepreneurial communities similarly operate across campus to advantage densely networked university entrepreneurship efforts.” Is this claim correct?   • “Prevailing conceptions of the public entrepreneurial university fail to take a panoramic perspective that focuses upon networks across different types of campus entrepreneurial functions. ” Do you agree? • Is there anything about the challenges of measurement at universities - uniqueness, measurement challenges, causation – that is more difficult in the university context than other entrepreneurial geography studies?     • What network measurements would you focus upon?  What correlations might we look for?
