Harvey Goldstein was one of three recipients that won the inaugural Kauffman Faculty Fellowship to
support entrepreneurial activities related to his teaching and research.  Harvey received a Spring 2006
research leave to study changes in the behavior and attitudes of higher education faculty and research
