Competition for faculty and students (2)

Prevents us from being able to remain parochial

Mitigating cultural differences

Need for cultural change among faculty, staff and students

Increased interest in different regions of the world

Increased knowledge of different cultures & societies

Strengthening our tradition of international involvement

Access to international production

Loss of specific regional knowledge of people & places in context of universal generalized knowledge

Increased international pool of students and faculty

International student exchanges

Wide usage of English language throughout the world

Commercialization of academic life

More opportunities to collaborate with institutions abroad

Many more quality, lower cost alternatives to study international affairs in other parts of the world

Increasing number of international faculty and students

Competition may be negative for university but probably good higher education overall

Changes should happen fast but processes are still slow; current laws do not help

Challenges to enhance international student enrollment

Availability of classes taught in English at foreign universities

In general, globalization is understood as a process of internationalization which has a positive effect on our institutional life

Forced US universities to continue to innovate and be resourceful in order to try and offer first-rate education

The ease of information and new ideas moving across national boundaries enables institutions to continually adapt and strengthen their educational offerings

Global economic competition

Loss of national "character"

Mitigates against isolationism

If universities or companies are not global, they will be left at the side of the road

Increased recruitment of international students and student exchange programs

Comparing practices

Increased international pool for students and faculty

Competition for faculty and students

Accreditation system

Neglect of domestic higher education institutions

International relations schools - MA - PhD degrees, APSIA

Greater priority given now to international education

Challenge to meet funding needs required for international education needs

Increasing xenophobia of the US government

Globalization (interdependency) has not necessarily made US citizens as a whole, more educated or more understanding of the world beyond US borders

In some ways, more knowledge about the world has exacerbated rather than narrowed differences

The US will be unable to compete in the future without a globally educated workforce

Catalyst for driving positive change - research and advanced workforce training

System created, but should be compulsory

The only positive effect that can be appreciated is related to the obligation to overcome a certain international criteria

Teaching how policy (US-foreign) can influence business/economies/government

More academic programs and student exchanges

Global economic competition

Mitigates against isolationism

Internationalized degree programs (e.g. iBSC, iMBA) involving international components of study

Comparing practices

Recognition of similar problems

Neglect of domestic higher education institutions

Greater cooperation among institutions of higher education

Greater competition for the more "profitable" program

Washington, DC is a world capital. It needs to continue to attract international students to its universities and to prepare its domestic students to function in a global context. Likewise, we must be sure to increase the number of racial and ethnic minorities (especially African Americans and Hispanics) who acquire global perspectives (Washington)

Catalyst for driving positive change - research and advanced workforce training

Start cooperating with regional institutions

Everybody wants to study the "hot countries" which were previously not part of the curriculum

Everyone has suddenly become an "expert" whether they are or not

Great opportunities for enhancing economic development/business partnerships

Update academic programs

With less administration improve more exchange of students and teachers for better mutual understanding - leading to new developments (curriculum, common projects with sustainable effects, etc.)

Through real cooperation, personal relations and the union of experiences, we must let people experience the possibility of changing society.

Funding of scholarship via endowments is one of the key means of assisting UK universities, at least (England)

Support positive exchanges

Increasing collaboration

Bringing the ideas of development to domestic institutions

By keeping in touch with SYLFF's large network of partner universities and focusing on a situation where both partners gain, competition does not need to be a problem

Provide funds for staff development in different departments

Facilitating interaction between AUC and SYLFF institutions outside our region

By the supporting of young future leaders on their own knowledge of the people who will have the capacity to shift the demands of leaders, based on "good practice"

Due to its interdisciplinary respect, SYLFF has already influenced positively on the tendencies we observe

A comparative study of different models of education and their impact on societies and economies could promote to elaborate a more effective educational policy

The FMP can lead to increased international contact for which new research areas can develop. These may eventually become areas of excellence and attract investment

The culture of leadership can be emphasized among graduate students

Greater and more focused collaboration in the areas supported by SYLFF funding. The number of SYLFF institutions in Africa is only three and are vast distances apart. Yet, with technological interaction, the impact of some of these challenges can be reduced. Perhaps SYLFF network institutions must share information on niche areas in the Humanities so that cooperation can be considered. (South Africa)

Strengthen the SYLFF network at an institutional level (2)

Because SYLFF funds developmental studies, it must try to provide more scholarships (both partial and full scholarships) (2)

Improve the research collaboration and training program

Promote exchanges in experience in developing quality assurance program among members of the SYLFF network

More scholarships to students in humanities, social sciences, and culturally related courses

Keep an eye on culture diversity while encouraging mobility programs

Build collaboration across individuals to make globalization work for all rather than be driven by the self interest of a few "rich" institutions

Encourage research in the specific area under JIP

Showcase its model

Organize regional/global discussion/conference

Although increasing competition among European/Asian universities and American universities is not a "negative" aspect, but an overall positive aspect that SYLFF should encourage (2)

Should help to network to research universities globally - opportunities to develop partnerships, collaborations, networks, student exchanges

By providing the resources to help maintaining/or promoting the international links of the institutions

Greater resources for fellowships
