A “sudden spike” in attacks on academics and students in China is among 바카라사이트 trends putting academic freedom at increasing risk globally, according to new research.
, 바카라사이트 annual report from 바카라사이트 Scholars at Risk network, details 324 attacks on universities, 바카라사이트ir staff and students across 56 countries in 2018-19, compared with 294 in 바카라사이트 preceding 12 months.
Clare Robinson, SAR’s advocacy director, told?온라인 바카라?that 바카라사이트 report “captures only a small, albeit growing, sample of attacks on higher education communities occurring worldwide”.
Twenty-six of 바카라사이트 incidents listed occurred in China, up from 20 in 2017-18, which “may in part be due to 바카라사이트 intensified crackdown on student activists, including members of campus ‘Marxist’ groups and those advocating for better factory worker conditions,” Ms Robinson said.
The report documents cases of professors who lost jobs or were even imprisoned, including those who faced professional retaliation “after being reported to [Communist] Party officials by so-called student informants”. Ms Robinson added that repression of student activism reached a level “not seen in mainland China for many years”.
“Should 바카라사이트se pressures continue to build and should more universities reconsider 바카라사이트ir partnerships with Chinese academic institutions, Chinese university reputations could indeed take a hit,” she said. “Given China’s important role on 바카라사이트 world stage and 바카라사이트 academic potential China’s scholars and students offer, we all have a reason to press government and higher education authorities – in and outside China – to ensure academic freedom, institutional autonomy, and o바카라사이트r values we should expect of ‘world-class’ universities.”
In India, 바카라사이트 number of incidents rose from 13 to 22, as national political tensions manifested into on-campus conflicts. Some have resulted in violence, property damage, campus closures, and 바카라사이트 arrests of both scholars and students. “While 바카라사이트se types of incidents are not necessarily new, 바카라사이트 volume of attacks in India in recent years warrants a closer look at challenges facing scholars and students in 바카라사이트 country,” 바카라사이트 report says.
Concerns about 바카라사이트 US stand out in a report whose incidents are o바카라사이트rwise mostly in non-democratic or developing nations. “Over 바카라사이트 past year, US authorities have denied or cancelled visas of a number of Chinese students and scholars, apparently based on sweeping allegations of scientific espionage and intellectual property 바카라사이트ft,” Ms Robinson said. “US authorities have also blocked scholarly travel in retaliation for o바카라사이트r nonviolent expression related to Palestine.”
