A commentary from Patrick McQuown argues that universities that keep entrepreneurship centers inside business schools risk ceding innovation to competitors. McQuown, director at Towson’s StartUp Accelerator, says leading institutions now locate entrepreneurship under provosts, research offices, economic‑development divisions or central commercialization hubs to better service interdisciplinary research, spinouts and federal grant capture. The piece highlights goals such as securing NSF Engines, DoD, EDA and NIH funding, launching faculty‑led startups, and building regional innovation ecosystems—activities that often cut across engineering, health sciences, computing and the arts. For academic leaders, the operational implication is structural: reporting lines and incentives may need redesign to connect commercialization, tech transfer and student entrepreneurship with campus research priorities.
