The National Educational Quality Initiative (NEQI) is a nonprofit organization whose goal is to ensure that all residents of the country are well-informed about quality. Its objectives include the incorporation of quality sciences and associated arts in all courses from preschool through the graduate level, as well as in all aspects of the administration and operations of all schools, and the improvement of the quality of students' materials in the educational system.

Juran Foundation moves to University of Minnesota
Article Abstract:
J.M. Juran has turned over the Juran Foundation to the University of Minnesota's Quality Leadership Center. The move was initiated by the center's request for a $100,000 donation from the foundation to help the university establish a program for financing scholarly studies on quality matters. Juran, who was worried that the foundation would not be able to support the foundation's staff after he passes away, transferred control of the foundation to the university including its $2 million in assets.
