international student body is diverse, with students from 130 countries making up 26% of the student population. Over the course of the academic year 2023-2024, students from across campus engaged in events, activities, and discussions related to the university-wide theme, freedom of expression.</p><p>The diverse cultural backgrounds of international students can lead to unique perspectives on political engagement and self-expression. Some students may experience unease in a new social setting or speaking a non-native language. Additionally, it's important to recognize some international students may be subject to monitoring by their home governments.</p><p>In April 2024, the Office of the Vice Provost of International Affairs, together with the <a href="https://einaudi.cornell.edu/programs/reppy-institute-peace-and-conflict-studies">Reppy Institute for Peace and Conflict Studies</a>, conducted a survey to explore how international students experience freedom of expression on campus. The survey findings highlighted the impact of transnational repression on Cornell's diverse global community.</p><hr><h2>Highlights</h2><p><strong>Freedom of Expression:</strong> When comparing freedom of expression in the U.S. to their home countries, Canadian respondents felt that freedom of expression was worse in the U.S. while students from China and India felt that freedom of expression was better in the U.S. than in their home countries.</p><p><strong>Self-Censorship:</strong> Students from all nations reported self-censorship because they wanted to be accepted by their peers and instructors.</p><p><strong>Geopolitical Considerations:</strong> Chinese students expressed a higher concern about the potential for being reported to their government. This could potentially impact their participation in ways that differ from their peers.</p><p><em>Note: The survey shows evidence of selection bias, including the underrepresentation of Chinese students and the timing of the study with increased campus activism.</em></p><p><a class="link-button" href="/sites/default/files/2024-10/CU-International-Students-FoE-Survey-final.pdf" data-entity-type="media" data-entity-uuid="f520f9bb-5045-47fc-911a-8fa1323ee0ba" data-entity-substitution="media" title="How International Students Experience Freedom of Expression at Cornell">Download the full report</a></p><hr><h2>Takeaways</h2><p>For students, this survey sheds light on how transnational repression can happen in the classroom and social settings.</p><ul><li>Students should familiarize themselves with the <a href="https://deanoffaculty.cornell.edu/faculty-and-academic-affairs/academic-integrity/guidelines-for-students/">Code of Academic Integrity Guidelines for Students</a>, which now includes language prohibiting the recording of fellow students without their knowledge.</li><li>Students should talk with their faculty if they have concerns about surveillance in the classroom or feel that they can鈥檛 express themselves fully.</li></ul><p>For faculty, the findings highlight the importance of recognizing the reality of transnational repression and the importance of taking steps to mitigate it in their classrooms.</p><ul><li>Faculty should review the updated <a href="https://deanoffaculty.cornell.edu/faculty-and-academic-affairs/academic-integrity/guidelines-for-instructors/">Code Academic Integrity Guidelines for Instructors</a> to ensure a safe and respectful learning environment.</li><li>Faculty could re-state the academic integrity guidelines in their classes to familiarize students with the restrictions on recording their classmates without their consent.</li><li>Faculty can consider alternatives to assignments that require students to self-identify when speaking or posting (within the classroom) about topics or readings that could be considered sensitive in their country of origin.</li></ul><div class="accent-blue-green dialog fill panel"><h3>Do you need support?</h3><p>The <a href="https://ombuds.cornell.edu">Office of the University Ombuds</a> offers a safe place where community members may confidentially discuss problems or issues within the university.
