Background paper: Global Engagement Guidelines in US and UK Universities

We’ve posted a background paper by Veena Mohan (UMass Amherst MPPA ’23), titled Balancing Risks and Benefits: Global Engagement Guidelines in US and UK Universities. From the abstract: “International collaboration in academia has increased over the past several decades, along with the risks and benefits associated with it. To navigate the complexities of this sphere, many universities have created global engagement guidelines for their academic communities. This paper describes and analyzes twelve of these university guidelines and one drafted code of conduct focused on mitigating the risks of internationalization. The paper ends with recommendations for future university guidelines, which include combining the values statement and practical instructions approach and setting up accountability measures.” Download the paper here.
