The US should respond to the globalization of higher education not with angst but with a sense of possibility. Neither a gradual erosion in the US market share of students, nor the emergence of ambitious new competitors in Asia, Europe, and the Middle East means that American universities are on an inevitable path to decline.
面对高等教育的全球化，美国不应感到忧虑，而应当看到其中蕴含的机遇。不论是美国在留学生市场所占份额的下滑，还是那些雄心勃勃的亚洲，欧洲和中东竞争者的崛起，都不意味着美国的大学正不可避免地走向衰落。
