From University World News: “United States university internationalisation practices and policies reproduce and reinforce cultural and social racism, according to a recent study based on the experiences of Sub-Saharan African students. ‘Rather than ‘enriching’ our campuses with ‘diverse’ groups who all experience ‘dignity and respect’ at the university, we find the policies and practices around internationalisation on campus are ‘not only unhelpful but actually exacerbated the very conditions’ around exclusion, discrimination, and the inequity they ostensibly seek to redress,’ the study concludes.”
