Let us thinK about some of the most relevant milestones in history, the Discoveries anD achievements that brought a change of an era Due to the complete cultural transformation they implied: the printing press, the steam engine, and the computer. Behind all these milestones there were brilliant minds and geniuses. But above all, it was the people and entire nations that created the basic conditions for those avant-garde spirits to develop. These were dynamic, hard-working nations with a desire to share and transform. This is what we long for Spain to become. An entrepreneurial and modernising nation that can create sufficient opportunities for all its citizens. Approximately four decades ago, the seemingly solid foundations of the produc- tion network across the planet – as well as in our own country – were challenged by the sudden explosion of the internet into our lives. It transformed the way we com- municate. It changed the way we consume. Markets, finance, coexistence, scien- ce, education, and mass communication were all transformed. And this led to the adoption of new economic policies at a global scale. This event prompted many debates in all sectors of the economy, because, throu- ghout history, we have always searched for answers in the face of new changes. And if the eruption of disruptive technologies generated temporary uncertainty in traditional business models, it also created well-founded hope for the future. It was simply a matter of adapting. 7 The meDia consiDereD how information shoulD be vieweD in the future, anD whe- ther, for instance, the printeD worD woulD enD up Disappearing. New builDings were conceiveD by the architecture sector baseD on the Internet of things. Con- tents of all genres were being DigitaliseD. In the fielD of health, the Internet of boDies was alreaDy being DiscusseD. AnD, universities starteD researching social behaviours baseD on the Data proDuceD by our use of new telephone networKs. This was all in line with the pace of contemporary inDustry: a constant renewal at a vertiginous pace. We were fully aware that the world was changing. Politics, and the way many politi- cians behaved, were changing too. The 2008 crisis hit Spain rather severely, Depleting both marKet confiDence, and citizens’ trust in institutions anD its representatives. One of the main causes for this was a proDuction moDel that was excessively DepenDent on the real estate sector. The 2008 crisis unDermineD all hope for young people, for stability, for wo- men’s future prospects, for the security of those over the age of 50, anD for the Dreams of many immigrants. Thus, in our recent democratic history, we had to face two significant disturbances: a radical transformation of our civilisation model and a severe economic crisis. Yet in spite of all this, we were able to take giant leaps. Back in 1980, our country was nothing like what it was in 2008. And likewise in 2008, it was a far cry from how we lived in 2020. Hence, we do not want Spain to remain as it was in 2020 when we reach 2030. Looking to the past is vital to learn from our mistakes, and therefore, to discern what we should do. We must look to the future. Before citizens had a chance to properly recover from the 2008 crisis, Spain had to endure the health, economic and social emergency caused by a pandemic that also shook the foundation of every nation on the planet to the core. COVID-19 has taken the lives of many fellow citizens, and has forced us to take drastic measures. The weaknesses of our system have also been exposed – weaknesses we must urgently amend at a global scale both in Spain and across the world. This pandemic has also proven that the public system is the best barrier in the face of adversity. It has reminded us all of how vulnerable a species we are, particularly when unprepared. And it has once again highlighted the fact that no one should be content with simply surviving throughout life: every human being deserves to live decently and to have dignified employment. 2020 will always be remembered as the year of the pandemic; yet, 2021 shall be re- membered as the year of vaccinations and recovery. This recovery must be truly comprehensive to build the society we want, and to permanently turn Spain into a nation ripe with opportunities. If anything defines a country, it is the planning of its future projects and the transfor- mation it undertakes to make these outcomes possible. We have often voiced Spain’s aspirations with cautious prudence, usually from the premise of our limitations. And it should not be the case as Spain can achieve any goal it sets its sights on. These are ambitious and formidable goals on a par with every other great nation in the world. We know the present is full of hardship. But we have the resources and the talent to bolster our optimism. We have an agreement with the European Council that stipu- lates financing for Spain of up to 140,000 million euros over the next six years. We have a National Recovery, Transformation and Resilience Plan that will lay the 8 Spain Entrepreneurial Nation roadmap to solving the challenges we shall face in the forthcoming decade. We are counting on the strategy put forward in this book: Spain Entrepreneurial Nation. And we are counting on the commitment and on the skills of our nation’s citizens. Previously, Spain needed momentum in terms of digital transformation. Now, the weight of this momentum is even more significant. And, therefore, the current situa- tion is forcing us to expand areas such as e-commerce, teleworking, online educa- tion and remote health care. Previously, Spain required an ecological transition. Now, said requirement is an absolute necessity. We shall gain an extraordinary economic boost with the adop- tion of clean energies and the consequent changes this transition will bring forward; one we need more than ever. Employment quality can only go hand-in-hand with the search for sustainable wealth. Our country already has companies that work to halt the consumption of plastics and waste products. These same companies only use recycled materials or provide their customers with 100% clean energy. A company may use data to boost marketing campaigns, but it can also use the same data to better the environment. Previously, Spain neeDeD to improve its social and TERRITORIAL unity. Now, the new crisis maKes this essential. We can no longer tolerate inequality. We must close the gaps anD put an enD to extreme poverty, something we have starteD to tacKle through the forthcoming approval of the Minimum Living Income. We must eraDicate chilD poverty, as it hampers a basic principle of freeDom: to have equal opportunities for a DignifieD life. We also have the responsibility of proviDing rural Spain anD the islanDs with the ability to generate opportunities, anD to guaran- tee services anD rights that allow for the increasingly harmonious anD sustainable economic Development of our country. At one time, Spain needed to establish its feminist agenda. Today, this need is more evident than ever. We are aware of the current state of affairs. Women are the ones that have suffered the social and economic consequences of this crisis much more acutely. They have dedicated more time and effort to caring for others.

  • Running on the “Status Treadmill”? Institutional
    RUNNING ON THE “STATUS TREADMILL”? INSTITUTIONAL ENDOWMENTS AND STUDENT FINANCIAL AID AT WEALTHY PRIVATE COLLEGES by ERIN BETH CIARIMBOLI (Under the Direction of James C. Hearn) ABSTRACT Despite efforts to combat rising college costs via significant federal, state, and institutional investments in student financial aid, enrollment in higher education remains woefully stratified by family income. In recent years, critics have decried the most wealthy and selective colleges for failing to utilize their abundant endowment wealth to recruit, enroll, and retain a greater number of low-income students, particularly as sticker prices continue to rise at rates higher than inflation. Many of the wealthiest private institutions—with endowments well over $500 million—have Pell Grant enrollments below 20%, compared to the 35% of students nationally receiving Pell. In response to these concerns of access, affordability, and the practice of so-called “endowment hoarding,” Congress launched two inquiries targeting wealthy colleges in 2008 and 2016. The present study explores the nexus of these two requests, focusing on the role of institutional endowments in promoting access to wealthy, private colleges and universities. Two specific research questions framed this analysis. First, how do endowment spending, priorities, and policies differ among private colleges with over $1 billion in institutional assets, given multiple missions and institutional types? Second, how do these schools’ endowments contribute to institutional financial aid policy and spending, and ultimately, low-income student access? Using content analysis, I systematically analyzed a sample of 30 universities’ responses to the Congressional inquiries in both 2008 and 2016. Findings suggest significant heterogeneity in institutional spending and priorities, multiple definitions of student financial need and subsequent approaches to distributing financial aid, and consequently, differential roles of endowments in supporting institutional needs.

    Strategic Plan FY2021 – FY2025 Endowment Fund Investment Board of the State of Idaho May 19, 2020 Update Background When Idaho became the 43rd state in 1890, the Congress of the United States endowed certain lands to be used to generate income for education and other purposes. At statehood, 3.6 million acres of land were granted to the state by the federal government and 2.4 million acres remain. Certain proceeds from the sale of land and income generated by the land have accumulated in the endowment fund, which had assets totaling $2.4 billion as of June 30, 2019. Per the Idaho Constitution, the State Board of Land Commissioners oversees the state’s endowment assets. The State Board of Land Commissioners is comprised of five elected officials: Idaho’s Governor, Secretary of State, Attorney General, Superintendent of Public Instruction and State Controller. Under the direction of the State Board of Land Commissioners, endowment lands are managed by the Idaho Department of Lands and the endowment funds are managed by the Endowment Fund Investment Board, which consists of nine members appointed by the Governor and confirmed by the Senate. Mission of the Endowment Fund Investment Board Provide outstanding investment management services to our stakeholders consistent with constitutional and statutory mandates. Goals • Meet or exceed the endowment fund’s investment benchmark net of fees. • Meet or exceed the median of our peer group ranking. • Grow the permanent fund at a rate equal to or greater than inflation and population growth. • Provide stable annual distributions to endowment beneficiaries. • Grow beneficiary distributions at the rate of inflation and population growth over a five-year period.

Goals from Marquinhos and Di Maria put PSG 2-0 up at the interval and Juan Bernat added the third in the 56th minute for what was a comfortable victory at the Estadio da Luz. The French club, who celebrating the 50th anniversary of their founding in 1970, will meet the winner of Wednes- day's other semi between Bayern Munich and Olympique Lyonnais. The big-spending PSG were a step too far for Leipzig, who were playing in the regional leagues just 11 years ago and have outperformed all expectations by reaching the last four. With French World Cup winning forward Kylian Mbappe back in the starting line-up after fully recovering from his ankle injury, PSG's German coach Thomas Tuchel was able to field his preferred attacking trident with Bra- zilian Neymar and Di Maria.
