Astronomy. Computer science. Chemistry. Advanced education in these and other fields of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics – collectively known as STEM – has perhaps never been in greater demand. Over the past decade, jobs in STEM disciplines have grown three times faster than non-STEM jobs, and STEM workers are earning 26 percent more than their non-STEM counterparts, according to the U.S. Department of Commerce’s Economics and Statistics Administration.

Yet the supply of qualified STEM workers remains a concern for U.S. businesses and for the country as a whole. While President Barack Obama has pronounced graduating 1 million additional STEM graduates over the next decade a national priority, fewer than 40 percent of students who currently enter college intending to major in a STEM field actually receive a STEM degree.

UConn, with the state of Connecticut, aims to change this. Early this year, Connecticut Gov. Dannel P. Malloy and UConn President Susan Herbst unveiled an ambitious new proposal designed to expand educational opportunities, research, and innovation specifically in STEM across the University.

Connecticut has long been generous with its flagship university, and the love has been returned in increasing prestige, a smarter student body and more research dollars coming in.

Now comes Gov. Dannel P. Malloy's proposal that the state borrow $1.5 billion-plus for science, technology, engineering and math programs at the University of Connecticut in an ambitious project called Next Generation Connecticut.

It's a great idea, but with a hefty price tag. The project raises anew concerns about whether the state is borrowing more than it can afford.

$2 Billion, 10-Year UConn Plan Clears Tax Committee PDF Print E-mail

The legislature's finance committee voted overwhelmingly Tuesday in favor of a plan to pour $2 billion into the University of Connecticut over the next decade, taking another step toward expansion and improvement beyond the $2.3 billion that has already been allocated under previous governors.

The proposal, by Democratic Gov. Dannel P. Malloy received bipartisan approval, 43-7, with the negative votes coming from legislators who said the plan was too expensive.

Sen. John Fonfara, the new co-chairman of the tax-writing committee, told his colleagues that they had the chance to cast an unusual vote Tuesday that would have significant long-term consequences.

You vote on hundreds and thousands of bills in your time as a legislator,'' Fonfara said, adding that it is relatively rare to take a vote on an issue that will have "measurable effects'' on the state."We have fallen behind as a state,'' Fonfara said. "But the world is changing and so is our economy.''

UConn Seeking Momentum For $2 Billion Plan PDF Print E-mail

About 36 hours after the women's basketball team won the national championship, the University of Connecticut's leaders came to the state Capitol on Thursday to tout a proposed major expansion of the university that includes dormitories at the Stamford campus.

They held a press conference to announce growing support for Next Generation Connecticut, a plan pushed by Democratic Gov. Dannel P. Malloy that would spend $2 billion over 10 years in state and university funds to expand programs in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics.

UConn provost Mun Choi reminded the crowd in the packed Old Judiciary Room that the university was "the home of the national women's basketball championship.'' He then quickly added "We're not here to talk about basketball or athletics. We're here to talk about an investment'' in the university's future.
