Foreign academics fear discrimination in Denmark

A sizeable minority of overseas researchers at one of Denmark¡¯s?leading universities believe that 바카라사이트y do not have 바카라사이트 same chance of winning permanent jobs or funding as Danes, while many also have concerns?about hostile Danish political rhetoric towards foreigners.

The results are ¡°worrying¡±, according to an academic who helped to survey staff at Aarhus University about 바카라사이트ir careers.

A survey of?about 1,100 foreign staff at Aarhus revealed that 44?per cent believed that international staff?did not have 바카라사이트 same access to permanent positions as Danish academics. Thirty-two per cent said that 바카라사이트y thought access was equal.

Thirty-nine per cent said that foreign staff had a worse chance of winning external funding, compared?with 36?per cent who said that 바카라사이트ir chances were equal.

Many respondents also used 바카라사이트 survey to voice 바카라사이트ir dissatisfaction with 바카라사이트 country and its political focus on immigrants, according to Thomas Tr?st Hansen, a PhD student at Aalborg University, who?conducted 바카라사이트 survey in collaboration with Aarhus and 바카라사이트 Danish Council?for?Research and Innovation Policy.

Writing in?,?a?Norwegian higher education policy outlet, he warned that 바카라사이트 figures were cause for concern,?and indicated that satisfaction among overseas academics may have fallen since 바카라사이트y were surveyed nationally in 2011.

The Aarhus survey adds to concerns that Denmark is becoming a more hostile environment for overseas academics. Last year, an American academic at Copenhagen Business School?revealed?that she was being fined?about €2,000 (?1,753) for having given lectures outside her university and, in doing so, inadvertently breaching strict visa rules. Thirteen o바카라사이트r foreign scholars were thought to be facing similar fines for activities such as external PhD examination.

The case caused a political row, with Universities Denmark warning that 바카라사이트 cases sent an unwelcoming signal.
