There is no question that the academic enterprise has become increasingly global, particularly in the sciences. Nearly three million students now study outside their home countries a 57% increase in the last decade. Foreign students now dominate many U. S. doctoral programs, accounting for 64% of Ph. D. s in computer science, for example.
Faculty members are on the move, too. Half of the world’s top physicists no longer work in their native countries. And major institutions such as New York University are creating branch campuses in the Middle East and Asia. There are now 162 satellite campuses worldwide, an increase of 43% in just the past three years.
At the same time, growing numbers of traditional source countries for students from South Korea to Saudi Arabia (沙特阿拉伯), are trying to improve both the quantity and quality of their own degrees, engaging in a fierce and expensive race to recruit students and create world-class research universities of their own.
Such competition has led to considerable hand-wringing in the West. During a 2008 campaign stop, for instance, then—candidate Barack Obama expressed alarm about the threat that such academic competition poses to U. S. competitiveness. Such concerns are not limited to the United States. In some countries, worries about educational competition and brain drains have led to academic protectionism. India, for instance, places legal and bureaucratic barriers in front of Western universities that want to set up satellite campuses to enroll local students.
Perhaps some of the anxiety over the new global academic enterprise is understandable, particularly in a period of massive economic uncertainty. But educational protectionism is as big a mistake as trade protectionism is. The globalization of higher education should be embraced, not feared including in the United States. There is every reason to believe that the worldwide competition for human talent, the race to produce innovative research, the push to extend university campuses to multiple countries, and the rush to train talented graduates who can strengthen increasingly knowledge-based economies will be good for the United States, as well.
In the last paragraph, the author tries to emphasize that______.
选项
A、the academic enterprise has become global
B、academic competition has led to protectionism
C、worries over educational competition are understandable
D、educational protectionism cannot be justified
答案
D
解析
细节题。从最后一段第二句可知,教育保护主义跟贸易保护主义一样,是个大错误。该段接着阐述应采纳高等教育全球化,并说明全球竞争化是为了吸纳人才,创新研究,推进扩展到多个国家的大学校园。由此可知,作者想表明反对教育保护主义的态度。故答案为D。
