Today, many high-tech, professional jobs are being sent overseas. According to TechsUnite.org, more than 150,000 technology jobs have been lost to offshoring since 2000. In this article, the author asserts that American colleges and universities are uniquely poised to help confront this economic challenge by providing basic and applied research efforts to form the foundation for creative and innovative approaches to economic challenges and questions. He describes a University of Kentucky initiative designed to compete with offshoring. This plan, known as "domestic inshoring" benefits both U.S. corporations and the American economy by keeping highly skilled, high-wage technical jobs--and future entrepreneurial leaders--within the U.S. borders.
