一流学府的入学名额所引发的疯狂状况似乎永无止境,随着被录取的学生在5月1日前决定去哪所学校就读,随着最高法院(Supreme Court)就平权行动展开较量,随着一些高中高年级生开始撰写申请信,这场狂热陷入了最后一分钟的忙乱。然而,顶尖院校的全球化问题,基本上一直被此类讨论遗漏在外。
This globalization obviously brings some big benefits. It has exposed American students to perspectives that our proudly parochial country often does not provide in childhood. "It would be a lesser education for them if they didn't get a chance to interact with some international students," as William Fitzsimmons, the dean of admissions at Harvard since 1986, told me. The trend also fits with the long American tradition of luring some of the world's most talented people here. Many international students who come for college never leave. Some of them found companies or make other contributions to society.
全球化显然带来了某些巨大的好处。他让美国学生接触到了国际视野,我们这个眼界狭隘的骄傲国家往往不会在孩提时代给儿童提供这种视野。自1986年以来一直负责哈佛大学招生工作的威廉·菲茨西蒙斯(William Fitzsimmons)对我说,“如果他们没有机会和一些国际学生互动,那他们受到的教育就会缩水。”这种趋势还和美国吸纳全球一些最具天分的人才的长期传统相契合。许多进入美国院校的国际学生留了下来。其中一些人在美国成立了公司,或者对社会做出了其它贡献。
