Eli Friedman, an associate professor at Cornell who oversees the program, said Renmin’s actions — including compiling a blacklist of student activists and allowing protesters to be sent home and monitored by national security officials — represented a “major violation of academic freedom” that Cornell could not tolerate.
Academic freedom in China is an oxymoron. |
