The expansion of Western education overseas has been both an
economic success, if the rise in numbers of American, European, and
Australian universities rushing to set up campuses in Asia and the
Middle East is to serve as a measure, and a source of great
consternation for academics concerned with norms of free inquiry
and intellectual freedom. Faculty at Western campuses have resisted
the opening of new satellite campuses, fearing that their
colleagues those campuses would be less free to teach and engage in
intellectual inquiry, and that students could be denied the free
inquiry that is normally associated with liberal arts education.
Critics point to the denial of visas to academics wishing to carry
out research on foreign campuses, the sudden termination of
employment at schools in both the Middle East and Asia, or the
last-minute cancellation of courses at those schools, as evidence
that they were correctly suspicious of the possibility that liberal
arts programs could exist in those regions. Supporters of the
project have argued that opening up foreign campuses would bring
free inquiry to closed societies, improve educational opportunities
for students who would otherwise be denied them, or, perhaps less
frequently, that free inquiry will be no less pressured than in the
United States or Western Europe. Normative Tensions examines the
consequences not only of expansion overseas, but the increased
opening of universities to foreign students.
