UD to co-host Ohio “brain drain” presentation
Ohio’s best-and-brightest college students may love the Buckeye State, but too many are looking to leave it, according to a new survey by the Thomas B. Fordham Institute.
The Fordham Institute and the University of Dayton on Tuesday, June 16, will host a presentation of the survey results from “Losing Ohio’s Future: Why College Graduates Flee the Buckeye State and What Might Be Done About It.”
The invitation-only event on Tuesday at the Dayton Racquet Club will address the survey’s findings for Dayton community leaders.
According to the survey, 88 percent of Ohio natives attending seven top universities in the state are proud of Ohio, but most — 51 percent — plan to leave after graduation. Among non-Ohioan undergraduates, 79 percent believe their future lies outside the state.
UD students were strongly represented in the survey, according to university officials.
Steve Farkas, president of the New York-based FDR Group that conducted the study, will provide a summary of the research findings and what they mean for Dayton.
Ellen Belcher, editorial page editor for the Dayton Daily News, will moderate a short panel discussion featuring Jim Leftwich, president and CEO of the Dayton Development Coalition; Michael Ervin, civic leader and downtown advocate; and Bob Taft, former Ohio governor.
The event follows the formal release of the Fordham Institute study on Monday, June 15, at the state capitol in Columbus.
Students from UD, the Ohio State University, Case Western Reserve University, Kent State University, Miami University, Ohio University and Oberlin College participated in the survey.

The best and brightest are screwed in K-12 long before college graduation. The Dayton Daily News nor the education system seem to understand or support gifted education in K-12. It is interesting Belcher would head a panel on the “best and brightest” leaving after college.By disbar mat heck and all judges

You must tell all of your friends that you read this as it will be deleted. Lest you become informed. The reason I am posting this here is because the DDN will not allow posts on the story of the 12 year old boy on a bicycle that was murdered by a speeding gun toting drug dealer that was released to the street by mat heck and judges WISEMAN GORMAN MCCRACKEN The DDN deleted all posts from the first article and refuses to allow posts on any updates. The posters on the first article wanted to know the name of the perpetrator and the names of the judges that turned him loose. This is classified information so no more posts. The DDN is actually purposefully and overtly trying to HIDE information from you. Case number 2004 CR 03284- STATE OF OHIO vs ANTWONNE MCGINNIS 12/03/2004 INDICTMENT FOR ATTEMPTED GRAND THEFT (MV) & POSSESSION OF CRIMINAL TOOLS FILED. 12/29/2004 REQUEST FOR INTERVENTION IN LIEU OF CONVICTION FILED BY ATTY CYNTHIA KARNS. 01/25/2005 DECISION FILED, TREATMENT IN LIEU OF CONVICTION. judgeGORMAN 03/14/2006 NOTICE OF REVOCATION HEARING AND ORDER FILED, BOND IS $5000.

HALL 09/17/2008 TERMINATION ENTRY FILED 9/11/08. SENTENCED TO 5 YRS COMMUNITY CONTROL. Judge WISEMAN In a nut shell all of the above means that ANTWONNE L. MCGINNIS was arrested for stealing a car. Judge GORMAN let him off. He did not comply with the terms of probation twice by robbing somebody and not staying off drugs. Judge MCCRACKEN let him off. He did not comply with the terms of probation again, judge GORMAN gave him 12 months. He was found guilty of having crack Gorman was required by law to sentence him to 1-5 years. She gave him the minimum 1 year but that was concurrent to the year he received for blowing 2 chances on the car theft charge. He actually did not serve the required sentence for the crack because he was already in prison. I cannot find if Gorman violated Ohio law because she did not sentence him to consecutive sentences. All I know is that he did not serve a sentence specifically for the crack. After he got out of prison he then was charged with WEAPONS UNDER DISABILITY (PRIOR DRUG CONVICTION). Judge WISEMAN SENTENCED him TO 5 YRS COMMUNITY CONTROL. This convicted gun toting drug dealing thief has learned that he owns the world and any little kid that is on his street deserves to be killed. To all little kids out there do not go on to Antwonne’s street.By Been there

Forward thinking universities in other states offer full ride scholarships to the very brightest and recruit nationwide. (Who would pass up an opportunity to graduate debt-free?) The reason college grads leave Ohio is because not enough Ohio businesses are offering internships/co-op opportunities or competitive job offers upon graduation.By Mark

Some of our students are forced out of state to pursue masters and doctorates because Ohio programs are taking non-US students into their programs. From a pan-global perspective, we must do this, but don’t complain when we lose our students to California, Arizona, Florida, etc. It’s not always about the weather. It is all about funding.
