2020大选与新冠疫情对美国高等教育的冲击

The Impact of the 2020 Presidential Election and COVID-19 Pandemic on Higher Education in the United States

2020年,在美国大选和新冠疫情失控的双重交织下,特朗普政府的反全球化战略思想在高等教育领域掀起了波澜,致使美国高等教育的发展遭受了严重冲击。主要表现在,美国高等教育社会地位的认识再次陷入恶性循环,高等教育多元化发展进一步扭曲,学术自由被“悬置”,国际留学生教育政策“朝令夕改”,高等教育私有化愈演愈烈。这必将对美国作为全球高等教育中心的地位产生前有未有的冲击和影响。

In 2020,under the dual interweaving of the US presidential election and COVID-19 pandemic,the anti-globalization ideological strategy of the US has made waves in higher education,and the development of American higher education has suffered a serious impact.The impacts lie in the following aspects:the understanding of the higher education’s social status in the United States once again dropping into a vicious circle;the diversification of higher education development being further distorted;academic freedom being suspended;the international student education policy being changed frequently;and the privatization of higher education being further intensified.This will certainly have an unprecedented impact on the America’s status as a global centre for higher education.
