11/12 "Threats to International Engagement and Academic Freedom" with Dr. Yangyang Cheng
MSP Presents
Threats to Academic Freedom and International Engagement:
China and Beyond
A lecture and Q&A with Dr. Yangyang Cheng
Particle Physicist and Research Scholar at Yale Law School's Paul Tsai China Center
Tuesday, Nov. 12, 4 p.m.
UMass Amherst Lederle Graduate Research Center A112
Across the country, faculty and students are facing impediments to international engagement, and sometimes at significant personal risk, arising from increasingly strict federal regulations. International faculty and students are especially vulnerable, as are Chinese Americans and others with ties to countries experiencing strained US relations.
The good news is that here at UMass Amherst we have strong unions with the power to enforce robust contracts.
This MSP event and the conversations it generates will help us mobilize the UMass community to win and sustain the strongest possible protections for our research and our professional lives.
Many thanks to our co-sponsors for their support (list will be continually updated).
