Join the New University in Exile Consortium
If your institution is interested in becoming a member of the Consortium, please email us at uieconsortium @ newschool.edu to start the process.
Becoming a Member
We hope many universities and colleges will join this effort to assist scholars who are under attack. Whether you are currently hosting a scholar or would like to host a scholar in the near future, your institution can become a member of the New University in Exile Consortium. Our members commit to:
- Host and support at least 1 exiled and/or endangered scholar, selected by your institution, for two years with the understanding that a re-evaluation will take place at the end of the first year. (If you are currently hosting an endangered scholar, that would qualify.)
- Identifying a liaison person on your campus to represent your institution and work with the New University in Exile Consortium.
- Providing scholars with funding for travel and lodging to attend programs hosted by Consortium when possible.
Identifying a Scholar
The New University in Exile Consortium does not directly identify endangered scholars in need of hosting, but we will connect you with organizations that can help.
Endangered Scholar Criteria
An endangered scholar is defined as anyone with a Ph.D. or equivalent degree who has held a teaching or researcher position in an institution of higher education beyond graduate school and has faced or recently fled from severe and targeted threats to their lives and/or careers in their home countries or countries of residence.
