2.
Universities Branch Out
A) As never before in their long history, universities have become instruments of national
competition as well as instruments of peace. They are the place of the scientific discoveries that
move economies forward, and the primary means of educating the talent required to obtain and
maintain competitive advantage. But at the same time, the opening of national borders to the flow
of ods, services, information and especially people has made universities a powerful force for
global integration, mutual understanding and geopolitical stability.
B) In response to the same forces that have driven the world economy, universities have become
more self-consciously global: seeking students from around the world who represent the entire
range of cultures and values, sending their own students abroad to prepare them for global careers,
offering courses of study that address the challenges of an interconnected world and collaborative
(合作的) research programs to advance science for the benefit of all humanity.
C) Of the forces shaping higher education none is more sweeping than the movement across
borders. Over the past three decades the number of students leaving home each year to study
abroad has grown at an annual rate of 3.9 percent, from 800,000 in 1975 to 2.5 million in 2004.
Most travel from one developed nation to another, but the flow from developing to developed
countries is growing rapidly. The reverse flow, from developed to developing countries, is on the
rise, too. Today foreign students earn 30 percent of the doctoral degrees awarded in the United
States and 38 percent of those in the United Kingdom. And the number crossing borders for
undergraduate study is growing as well, to 8 percent of the undergraduates at America’s best
institutions and 10 percent of all undergraduates in the U.K. In the United States, 20 percent of the
newly hired professors in science and engineering are foreign-born, and in China many newly
hired faculty members at the top research universities received their graduate education abroad.
D) Universities are also encouraging students to spend some of their undergraduate years in
another country. In Europe, more than 140,000 students participate in the Erasmus program each
year, taking courses for credit in one of 2,200 participating institutions across the continent. And
in the United States, institutions are helping place students in summer internships (实习) abroad to
prepare them for global careers. Yale and Harvard have led the way, offering every undergraduate
at least one international study or internship opportunity—and providing the financial resources to
make it possible.
E) Globalization is also reshaping the way research is done. One new trend involves sourcing
portions of a research program to another country. Yale professor and Howard Hughes Medical Institute investigator Tian Xu directs a research center focused on the genetics of human disease at
Shanghai’s Fudan University, in collaboration with faculty colleagues from both schools. The
Shanghai center has 95 employees and graduate students working in a 4,300-square-meter
laboratory facility. Yale faculty, postdoctors and graduate students visit regularly and attend
videoconference seminars with scientists from both campuses. The arrangement benefits both
countries; Xu’s Yale lab is more productive, thanks to the lower costs of conducting research in
China, and Chinese graduate students, postdoctors and faculty get on-the-job training from a
world-class scientist and his U.S. team.
F) As a result of its strength in science, the United States has consistently led the world in the
commercialization of major new technologies, from the mainframe computer and the integrated
circuit of the 1960s to the Internet infrastructure (基础设施) and applications software of the
1990s. The link between university-based science and industrial application is often indirect but
sometimes highly visible: Silicon Valley was intentionally created by Stanford University, and
Route 128 outside Boston has long housed companies spun off from MIT and Harvard. Around
the world, vernments have encouraged copying of this model, perhaps most successfully in
Cambridge, England, where Microsoft and scores of other leading software and biotechnology
companies have set up shop around the university.
G) For all its success, the United States remains deeply hesitant about sustaining the
research-university model. Most politicians recognize the link between investment in science and
national economic strength, but support for research funding has been unsteady. The budget of the
National Institutes of Health doubled between 1998 and 2003, but has risen more slowly than
inflation since then. Support for the physical sciences and engineering barely kept pace with
inflation during that same period. The attempt to make up lost ground is welcome, but the nation
would be better served by steady, predictable increases in science funding at the rate of long-term
GDP growth, which is on the order of inflation plus 3 percent per year.
H) American politicians have great difficulty recognizing that admitting more foreign students
can greatly promote the national interest by increasing international understanding. Adjusted for
inflation, public funding for international exchanges and foreign-language study is well below the
levels of 40 years a. In the wake of September 11, changes in the visa process caused a dramatic
decline in the number of foreign students seeking admission to U.S. universities, and a
corresponding surge in enrollments in Australia, Singapore and the U.K. Objections from
American university and business leaders led to improvements in the process and a reversal of the
decline, but the United States is still seen by many as unwelcoming to international students.
I) Most Americans recognize that universities contribute to the nation’s well-being through their
scientific research, but many fear that foreign students threaten American competitiveness by
taking their knowledge and skills back home. They fail to grasp that welcoming foreign students
to the United States has two important positive effects: first, the very best of them stay in the
States and—like immigrants throughout history—strengthen the nation; and second, foreign
students who study in the United States become ambassadors for many of its most cherished (珍视)
values when they return home. Or at least they understand them better. In America as elsewhere,
few instruments of foreign policy are as effective in promoting peace and stability as welcoming
international university students.
