In its "Country Reports on Human Rights Practices" for 2015, the U.S. Department of State (State) concluded that academic freedom, a longstanding concern in China, had recently worsened. At the same time, the number of U.S. universities establishing degree-granting institutions in partnership with Chinese universities -- teaching predominantly Chinese students -- has increased. While universities have noted that these institutions offer benefits, some academics and others question whether faculty, students, and staff may face restricted academic freedom and other constraints. This report reviews (1) funding and other support provided to U.S. universities to operate in China; (2) the treatment of academic and other key freedoms in arrangements between U.S. universities and their Chinese partners; and (3) the experience of academic and other key freedoms by faculty, students, and staff at selected U.S. universities in China. Tables and figures. This is a print on demand report.

"'Style is about expressing yourself, ' says Susanne Bartsch. 'You can be whatever you want to be--a silver screen star, a Marie Antoinette baroque creature, or a Victorian punk. I love that about fashion and make-up.' Susanne Bartsch has long been a highly visible player in New York City nightlife, with her parties known for their mix of uptown and downtown, gay and straight, high fashion, street style, and Mardi Gras extravaganza. Her penchant for extreme fashion and make-up have made her name the equivalent of a couture label among the 'Fashion Underground, ' a diverse group of individuals united around a love of fashion, defined as an embodied practice of self-expression and transformation. This creative subculture distinguishes itself from the commercial, mainstream fashion system, but their extraordinary styles, often bordering on performance art, have often influenced the wider world of fashion and beauty"--Museum at FIT web site
