Under federal pressure, San Francisco State University has abruptly ended a 14-year collaboration with China that supported Chinese language classes, cultural events, teacher training and summer camps.
The Northern California city is 200 miles away from the Asian population centers of the San Francisco Bay Area. Only 958 of 91,236 Redding residents are ethnic Chinese, according to 2017 census data.
Sen. Marco Rubio and other lawmakers have pushed for U.S. universities to cut ties with Confucius centers. What finally prompted San Francisco State to do so in May was an ultimatum from Congress, placed in the Defense Department’s 2019 funding bill, to shut down its Confucius Institute or lose federal funding for foreign language training programs.
Wu said San Francisco State applied for a waiver to allow both programs to continue — administrators were confident they met the federal requirement to show there was no connection between the two — but the request was denied. , released in February, did report concerns from other universities about potential self-censorship — avoiding criticism of China’s policies regarding Taiwan or Tibet, for instance — but did not cite any actual cases.that the institute’s language programs lacked transparency, threatened academic freedom and gave the Chinese government access to the U.S. education system that China does not extend to American programs.
“There was no censorship,” Doty said. “We were encouraged to research different topics and look at all sides.”institute subsidies of more than $2,500 for educational materials and travel funds to a teacher training conference have helped her become a better and more confident educator.
