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.
What do we learn about European universities from the passage?
选项
A、The tuitions they charge have been rising considerably.
B、Their operation is under strict government supervision.
C、They are strengthening their position by globalization.
D、Most of their revenues come from the government.
答案
D
解析
细节题。根据题干中的European universities定位在第四段首句:Many Europeanuniversities,meanwhile,are still mostly dependent on government funding,即很多欧洲大学仍然主要依靠政府投入。因此可知学校的大部分资金来源于政府,故D项为正确答案。
