Corruption is a growing problem for higher education worldwide. It is especially a challenge for internationalization since monitoring and controlling cross-border corruption is quite difficult. Among the aspects of corruption are the involvement of dishonest agents and recruiters, false credentials, fake examination results, and others.

Higher Education Internationalization

En la actualidad, a medida que se van acelerando el desarrollo la economía y el conocimiento, la internacionalización de la educación superior llega a ser una tendencia común en el desarrollo de la educación, con la movilidad estudiantil internacional como indicador importante. En el periodo que comprende el inicio del siglo XXI hasta el brote de la epidemia de COVID-19, el flujo transfronterizo de estudiantes ha mostrado un importante desarrollo de escala y velocidad de crecimiento; y los intercambios humanísticos cada vez más estrechos entre China y América Latina están intensificando aún más la cooperación e interacción entre ambas partes en el ámbito de la educación superior. En la nueva era del desarrollo constructivo entre China y América Latina, sería de gran importancia estratégica realizar un análisis profundo de la situación actual, pasando por la trayectoria histórica, factores favorables y desfavorables, así como problemas existentes y perspectivas de la movilidad estudiantil transfronteriza, con el fin de seguir fomentando la cooperación integral de las dos regiones y promover el papel que desempeñan los talentos sino-latinoamericanos.

The article provides an overview of the second part of a report on international branch campuses (IBCs). The Observatory on Borderless Higher Education (OBHE) and the Cross-Border Education Research Team (C-BERT) are the authors of the report. IBCs continue to grow in number and variety around the world, and the report includes updated estimates and patterns by country, but previously there has been limited attention paid to the success factors of mature IBCs. Defined as campuses in place for a decade or more, the report draws on in-depth interviews with campus and institutional leaders.

Abstract Combatting criminal misuse of cryptocurrencies was at the core of the fatf agenda under the US Presidency, culminating in June 2019 with the thorough extension of international standards against money laundering over virtual assets’ markets. This echoed the first legislative measure regulating virtual currencies adopted by the EU a year before. Directive 2018/843, better known as the 5th Anti-Money Laundering Directive, fails however to address key technological breakthroughs and new business models, which continuously make the ever-growing and fast-paced crypto economy evolve. Against this background, the present contribution investigates shortfalls and challenges that lay ahead in the light of the new fatf Recommendations. It ultimately argues that the preventive anti-money laundering measures cannot dispense with the establishment of a cross-border integrated supervisory and enforcement system.

The University

Reasons for public education are many; however, to crystalize and synthesize this, quite simply, public education is for the public good. The goal, or mission, of public education is to offer truth and enlightenment for students, including adult learners. Public education in the United States has undergone many changes over the course of the last 200 years, and now public education is under scrutiny and is facing a continual lack of funding from the states. It is due to these issues that public higher education is encouraging participatory corporate partnerships, or neo-partnerships, that will fund the university, but may expect a return on investment for private shareholders, or an expectation that curriculum will be contrived and controlled by the neo-partnerships. A theoretical framework of an academic mission and a business mission is explained, the impact of privatization within the K-12 model on public higher education, the comparison of traditional and neo-partnerships, the shift in public higher education towards privatization, a discussion of university boards, and the business model as the new frame for a public university. A public university will inevitably have to choose between a traditional academic mission that has served the nation for quite some time and the new business mission, which may have negative implications for students, academic freedom, tenure, and faculty-developed curriculum.

The Relationship

Presently, there are more than two million students studying outside their home countries and the total number is expected to grow to eight million by 2025. This trend has inspired research into the “push” and “pull” factors that drive student mobility within the global higher education environment. However, despite the growing presence of cross border student enrollments throughout the United States, which is also the number one location for cross border students to study in the world, limited efforts have been made to identify what characteristics motivate particular groups of cross border students to leave their home countries to attend particular types of higher education in the United States. This chapter addresses that gap in the literature. In response, this study sought to build upon existing global higher education literature by determining the relationship between the perceived importance of institutional characteristics and cross border students' age, gender, and country of origin.
