Request Type: New Center/Institute

Request: Institute for Economic Development & Real Estate Research

Board Action: Approval

Action Text: The Institute for Economic Development & Real Estate has been in operation at UNO since 1978. When it became apparent that it had not been formally recognized by the Board of Regents as a research center or institute, as required by AA Policy 2.05, the University submitted a proposal that it be named a Center of Research Excellence (CRE), approved by the UL Board of Supervisors in the June 2018 meeting; however, upon further review of the CRE criteria, the University asked that it be authorized as an Institute. The Board of Regents approved full authorization of the Institute on August 22, 2018 for a five-year period. A request for reauthorization is due July 1, 2023.
