When next year’ s crop of high-school graduates arrive at Oxford University in the fall of 2009, they’ll be joined by a new face : Andrew Hamilton, the 55-year-old provost(教务长)of Yale , who’ll become Oxford’ s vice-chancellor—a position equivalent to university president in America.
Hamilton isn’ t the only educator crossing the Atlantic. Schools in France, Egypt, Singapore, etc. have also recently made top-level hires from abroad. Higher education has become a big and competitive business nowadays, and like so many businesses, it’ s gone global. Yet the talent flow isn’t universal. High-level personnel tend to head in only one direction: outward from America.
The chief reason is that American schools don ’ t tend to seriously consider looking abroad. For example, when the board of the University of Colorado searched for a new president, it wanted a leader familiar with the state government, a major source of the university’ s budget. "We didn ’ t do any global consideration," says Patricia Hayes, the board ’ s chair. The board ultimately picked Bruce Benson, a 69-year-old Colorado businessman and political activist who is likely to do well in the main task of modern university presidents; fund-raising. Fund-raising is a distinctively American thing, since U. S. schools rely heavily on donations. The fund-raising ability is largely a product of experience and necessity.
Many European universities, meanwhile, are still mostly dependent on government funding. But government support has failed to keep pace with rising student number. The decline in government support has made funding-raising an increasing necessary ability among administrators and has hiring committees hungry for Americans.
In the past few years, prominent schools around the world have joined the trend. In 2003 , when Cambridge University appointed Alison Richard, another former Yale provost, as its vice-chancellor, the university publicly stressed that in her previous job she had overseen " a major strengthening of Yale’ s financial position. "
Of course, fund-raising isn’ t the only skill outsiders offer. The globalization of education means more universities will be seeking heads with international experience of some kind to promote international programs and attract a global student body. Foreigners can offer a fresh perspective on established practices.
Cambridge University appointed Alison Richard as its vice-chancellor chiefly because______.
选项
A、she was known to be good at raising money
B、she could help strengthen its ties with Yale
C、she knew how to attract students overseas
D、she had boosted Yale’ s academic status
答案
A
解析
细节题。根据题干中的Alison Richard as its vice—chancellor定位在第五段第二句:the university publicly stressed that in her previous job she had overseen“ a major strengthening ofYale’s financial position”,学校公开强调艾莉森之前的工作确保了“耶鲁大学的财政地位得到显著加强”。由此可知她有很强的筹措资金的能力,故A项为正确答案。
