| A major objective of a university/college is the devlopment and a provision of educational, cultural, professional, technical and vocational services to the community. Universities contribute to regions through four main avenues: Universities earn income, spend that income and attract students who also spend. This has direct and multiplier or flow-on effects. Universities undertake research and development that could be focused on regional issues and/or have commercial application. Universities educate in the cultural and social development the labor force. This in turn can assist in attracting industry to a region and assist in the cultural and social development of the region. Universities can contribute to the social and cultural life of the region. They provide infrastructure, fulfill community service obligations and provide community volunteers. | |||||||||
