Ithaca's basic
socio-political / socio-economic contradictions are immediately discovered in
the comparisons between the economic conflicting rolls of private sector and
public sector insitutional dynamics; the central cause of Ithaca / Tompkins
county being over taxed. With Cornell University, Ithaca College, TC3, and
Empire State College, the local information, the local technological
discoveries, and the International Intellegence gathering academic processes IE
developed by Cornell's PHD Thesis / Social and Human Science Canidates are the
available local resources which should have created Ithaca as a Magnet Private
Sector Economic Engine. Instead and within the local ethos disability dynamics
[Abstracted academic thoughts over both personal, human, and physical realities;
Ithaca's reality deficits. ] which emerged out of academia's future funding
anxieties, have created the local institutional dynamics and public ethos of
expansion of public - non - for - profit sector; thus maintaining dominace over
the public sector at the cost of the private sectors securities. Thus enters the
single view of proportions,,,,,,,,,,
Right now and with critical path
analysis [ Analysis developed at MIT. ] review, which needs more follow up, the
proportion of the public academic center is the Three verses the private
commerical sector's One. Three verses the One. The contradications ares
immediately precieved when they are compared to the working - already proven
modle of Three being the private commercial sectors, and the public academic
sectors being One which are emplaced now in California within the area of UCLA's
LA Campuses' technological and information ethos of transfers benefiting the
city of Los Angeles --- whose economic magnet power engines provides very
healthy contributions to UCLA's state wide programs and foundations. The City of
Los Angeles has other economic producing dynamics which adds to wider
proportions. The Three --- is the actual porportion created by academic
initiated discoveries and its real value-impact is centered on the established
working dynamics of how academic based discoveries were transfered into the
private sector. This ---- historically --- for Los Angeles defines the optimal
roll of the academic public sector roll function to the adjacent commercial
community; the central cause of Berkely's pride... The cycle relationship is
then qualified [ The money itself. ] from a simple understanding of the
relationship between research and development which triggers greater expansion
of economic development and capital expansion of wealth as a result - which
likewise necessitates a percentage of cycle of reinvestments back into research
and development from the corresponding actual profits resultants.
It is in this view
which brings ones attention that locally someone is shooting ones own foot with
the revolver still in the holdster. The present local economy is stable ---
which long ago was greatly facilitated by Governor Franklin D. Roosevelt's
funding of Cornell as the R& D center IE Plant Science, for his Agricultural
Economic Development Programs to increase independent owned farm productions in
UpState New York. Adding food on the table during the following Great
Depression, and why he became President! Despite his disability everyone knew he
had a powerful answer to The Great Depression as the program he initiated was
the only remaining economic success story!
The impact of the present
proportions of Three to One once understood, then and only then when one takes a
sound study of the present economic impact dynamics and who and what is its
center economic concentration, then one can accurate view what happens when the
present Three to One proportion is reversed:
Lower local taxes but higher
local Teacher salries.
Lower tuitions but expansion in tenured
faculty.
A full time working Elected Ithaca Common Council with higher
salries to compet with the private sector, but metro'izing social and law
enforment services with higher national level competitive pay rates..
Not
to mention the positive impact on local job expansions, career expectations, and
greater funded social support structures [ They will be needed as there will be
a marginal increase in temporary unemplyment which will emerge in the delay
impact economic reaction triggered by each cycle of transfer of R&D timing
to the private sector.],
Roosevelt already proved
this...........
The local crtitical path analysis reviews included the
Economic Impact Studies of the University of Buffalo [ SUNYaB } on the Adjacent
Community of Buffalo / Erie County by Dr. Larry Southwick, School of Management,
SUNYaB, 1968 through subsequent following studies up to 1972; and UCLA at
Berkely's studies directly inspired by Southwick's success in defining academic
economic impacts --- as his study became the center for Buffalo's economic
redevelopment and lobby success for its mass transiet system - dyring the 70s..
Cornell Economic recent study was likewise reviewed, but found to be limited and
problematic [ I.E, A portion of Ithaca Colleges Economic Impact resultant were
included unknown to the researchers and was falsely labeled as Cornell's
economic derivatives in the study's stats. } in overall comparisons - which
indicates a need for Cornell to conduct follow up review studies.
