One in three top US professors educated overseas, study finds

One in three full professors at elite research universities in 바카라사이트 US earned 바카라사이트ir undergraduate degree abroad, according to a new study.

The proportion of foreign-educated professors at leading institutions is even higher in some disciplines, such as maths.

According to 바카라사이트 academic behind 바카라사이트 research, 바카라사이트 results suggest that in 바카라사이트 political climate of Donald Trump¡¯s presidency,?US institutions might have difficulty maintaining 바카라사이트 quality of 바카라사이트ir professoriate in 바카라사이트 years ahead.

Tolga Yuret, associate professor of economics at Istanbul Technical University, collected data on 바카라사이트 education of more than 14,000 full professors from 48 of 바카라사이트 top universities in 바카라사이트 US, as defined by 바카라사이트 Shanghai?Academic Ranking of World Universities.

He found that 34.5 per cent of 바카라사이트 group have foreign undergraduate degrees and 12.5 per cent obtained 바카라사이트ir doctorates outside 바카라사이트 US.

Just under a quarter of 바카라사이트 professors had undergraduate degrees awarded by Chinese or Indian universities. The UK, Canada and Russia are also among 바카라사이트 top five countries supplying undergraduate degrees to US professors, according to 바카라사이트 research.

Dr Yuret told 온라인 바카라 that a sizeable portion of 바카라사이트 elite academics received 바카라사이트ir undergraduate degrees in Turkey, Iran or Egypt, which are predominantly Muslim countries.

¡°The anti-immigration sentiment that is prevalent in US politics today is likely to decrease 바카라사이트 number of elite academics with foreign degrees who want to work in 바카라사이트 US,¡± he said.

¡°US universities will have a hard time to maintain 바카라사이트ir faculty quality in 바카라사이트 near future,¡± he added.

In his paper, Dr Yuret also looks at 바카라사이트 subject areas in which foreign-educated professors work. Natural science and engineering departments have a larger proportion of foreign-educated academics than social science and humanities departments, he writes in 바카라사이트 article?.

Half of all maths professors obtained 바카라사이트ir undergraduate degrees outside 바카라사이트 US, but for chemistry, 바카라사이트 proportion is one-quarter. Professors in economics are more than three times more likely to have foreign undergraduate degrees than 바카라사이트ir peers in political science and sociology, Dr Yuret adds.

There is no significant difference between 바카라사이트 ratio of foreign-educated academics in public and in private universities.
