UA President Dr. Luis Proenza and Peking University's president have signed an agreement that will extends students studies to law, education, engineering and general sciences.
Students can "study abroad, spend some time in one of the most dynamic, cultural economic areas of the world, do collaborative research with professors in that area. And here in Akron, it will give the opportunity to work with visiting engineers that come from China," explains Proenza.
Proenza explains what the agreement means to UA studentsUA's Confucius Institute has brought opportunities here for students to learn Chinese instructions first-hand and about the country's culture. This new relationship will provide opportunities for UA and Peking University students to study abroad, with the same tuition fees, minus the travel expenses, and do collaborative research with professors in the area.
Peking University sends about 2,000 students overseas and gets about the same in return from other countries looking to study at, what Proenza calls, "one of China's premier universities."

Um...just what happens when one of our 'friends-in-low-places' wants to discuss anything about, say, "Tibet"??? Will the U. of A. administrative-policy-wonks' have to censure our young-skulls-full-of-mush so that they don't offend our new "dictator-type-friends" in China???
Say, did I happen to mention the free world just recently made the Chinese dictators back off their demand for built-in software that would censor freedom of speech sold there???
From one parochial interst to another...sigh.
Um...screw Mao, eh?
