[00:00.04]Nations around the world have already established
[00:03.76]economic, cultural and travel restrictions on Russia.
[00:09.48]Now, colleges across the United States are facing pressure
[00:15.32]to put in place educational limits against the country.
[00:20.60]The restrictions could affect the exchange of students
[00:24.48]between the two countries.
[00:26.96]And they could end research projects
[00:30.52]that receive money from universities in the U.S.
[00:35.68]For many American colleges, the first concern
[00:40.32]has been to bring American students
[00:42.92]studying in Russia or Ukraine home.
[00:46.80]About 1,400 Americans studied in those nations in 2018,
[00:54.44]but the numbers have dropped sharply during the pandemic.
[01:00.00]When Russia invaded Ukraine, Middlebury College in Vermont
[01:05.64]suspended a study abroad program in Russia at the end of February.
[01:12.64]The school urged the 12 students
[01:15.76]to return home immediately for safety reasons.
[01:21.20]Among them was Zavier Ridgley of Tulane University in New Orleans.
[01:28.96]Ridgley said he was sad to leave.
[01:32.48]He called the program in Moscow "the opportunity of a lifetime."
[01:38.48]Other schools, like Dartmouth College of New Hampshire,
[01:42.60]are canceling future study programs in Russia.
[01:47.48]And some are ending financial and educational ties in the country.
[01:53.32]Soon after the invasion,
[01:55.44]the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, MIT,
[02:01.12]said it was ending its partnership with a school in Moscow called Skoltech,
[02:06.28]an English-language technology university it helped start in 2011.
[02:13.76]MIT officials called it a rejection
[02:17.04]of "the unacceptable military actions against Ukraine."
[02:22.76]The University of Colorado said it was giving up all investments,
[02:27.92]including $3.5 million, in Russia.
[02:32.40]The move came after Colorado state leaders urged the school to cut ties.
[02:41.04]In the state of Arizona, all public universities
[02:45.08]said they were ending ties with Russia.
[02:48.04]And Arizona State University said its business school
[02:52.44]will end connections with a training center in Moscow.
[02:57.08]State leaders in Ohio and Virginia have also asked
[03:02.08]their public universities to end investments in Russia.
[03:07.88]Stanford University, however,
[03:10.40]is not ending its $1.6 million Russian contract
[03:15.24]for computer-based business courses.
[03:19.12]The university said it is in "full compliance" with the U.S. restrictions.
[03:27.28]The 2021 Open Doors Report said about 5,000 students from Russia
[03:34.24]studied in the U.S. last year.
[03:37.00]In addition, just under 2,000 Ukrainian students were in the U.S.
[03:44.76]Following the invasion, a few American lawmakers
[03:49.76]pushed for visa restrictions against Russian students.
[03:54.92]One even called for sending Russian students home.
[04:00.40]Speaking to CNN last month,
[04:03.52]Representative Eric Swalwell said the U.S. should consider sending
[04:10.48]"every Russian student out of the United States."
[04:15.68]Supporters of international education say losing those students
[04:21.28]would end a chance for them to learn Western ideals.
[04:25.28]They say Russians who study in America are already more likely
[04:30.52]to want changes back home.
[04:34.36]Jill Welch is a senior adviser
[04:37.12]for a group of university presidents called
[04:40.84]the Presidents' Alliance on Higher Education and Immigration.
[04:46.32]"Leaders need to make a distinction between Putin
[04:49.68]and Russian people who want a better life," she said,
[04:53.80]mentioning Russian President Vladimir Putin.
[04:58.24]"Sending anyone back wouldn't shorten the war by a day."
[05:04.60]That is a concern for Liudmila Fedorova,
[05:08.76]a professor at Georgetown University in Washington, D.C.
[05:13.12]Fedorova was born in Russia and studied in Moscow.
[05:18.68]"It's extremely important not to cut ties with Russia.
[05:24.24]Most of the students who do come to study English,
[05:29.64]they oppose the regime. And actually, especially now
[05:34.40]there will be many students from Russia applying for American programs."
[05:41.52]Fedorova told VOA that she worries about the exchange of ideas
[05:47.44]between the U.S. and Russia if study programs are shut down.
[05:53.72]"I know that the most important thing now is the war in Ukraine,
[05:58.16]but I am also very much concerned about my friends in Russia
[06:04.32]who fight for peace, who find themselves in danger.
[06:08.00]And there is no escape for them."

END OF TRACK. "END OF TRACK." The two men bowed. "Whoever was that person you were talking to?" she enquired, as soon as they stood together. The took of triumph faded from her eyes, she had grown worn and weary. The roses were wilting on the walls, the lights were mostly down now. Hetty, looking in to see if anything was wanted, found herself driven away almost fiercely. I only saw Master Jervie once when he called at tea time, The year 1747 was opened by measures of restriction. The House of Lords, offended at the publication of the proceedings of the trial of Lord Lovat, summoned the parties to their bar, committed them to prison, and refused to liberate them till they had pledged themselves not to repeat the offence, and had paid very heavy fees. The consequence of this was that the transactions of the Peers were almost entirely suppressed for nearly thirty years from this time, and we draw our knowledge of them chiefly from notes taken by Horace Walpole and Lord Chancellor Hardwicke. What is still more remarkable, the reports of the House of Commons, being taken by stealth, and on the merest sufferance, are of the most meagre kind, sometimes altogether wanting, and the speeches are given uniformly under fictitious names; for to have attributed to Pitt or Pelham their[112] speeches by name would have brought down on the printers the summary vengeance of the House. Many of the members complained bitterly of this breach of the privileges of Parliament, and of "being put into print by low fellows"; but Pelham had the sense to tolerate them, saying, "Let them alone; they make better speeches for us than we can make for ourselves." Altogether, the House of Commons exhibited the most deplorable aspect that can be conceived. The Ministry had pursued Walpole's system of buying up opponents by place, or pension, or secret service money, till there was no life left in the House. Ministers passed their measures without troubling themselves to say much in their behalf; and the opposition dwindled to Sir John Hinde Cotton, now dismissed from office, and a feeble remnant of Jacobites raised but miserable resistance. In vain the Prince of Wales and the secret instigations of Bolingbroke and Doddington stimulated the spirit of discontent; both Houses had degenerated into most silent and insignificant arenas of very commonplace business. "It certainly will be. Miss Widgeon," answered Maria, with strictly "company manners." "One who has never had a brother exposed to the constant dangers of army life can hardly understand how glad we all feel to have Si snatched from the very jaws of death and brung back to us." "Just plug at 'em as you would at a crow, and then go on your way whistlin'?" persisted Harry. "Hurroo!" echoed Hennessey; "that's the ticket." "Come forward, keeper," continued the baron, "and state how these arrows came into your hands!" "Yes." HoMEJULIA京香2018下载
