Author here. As I mentioned previously, I&#x27;m just a student and have no ties to any administration so I&#x27;m just speaking from my experience.<p>UIUC suing (or almost suing?) Andreessen is definitely a terrible step, but that was one event 21 years ago. In fact it happened before I was born (I&#x27;m a senior at UIUC now). Definitely a dark chapter of entrepreneurship on campus, but the goal of this post is to highlight the current ecosystem.<p>The university and the ecosystem is continuously evolving and hopefully we can tailor it to learn from other schools that have done a good job.
