Report of the Colloquium of University Presidents

"The first annual Global Colloquium of University Presidents met at Columbia University on January 18 and 19, 2005. Envisioned as a series of annual events growing into an international network of research universities, the inaugural meeting gathered more than 40 university leaders and professors. In response to the United Nations Secretary-General’s request for greater involvement of the global academic community in exploring international public policy concerns, five New York-area universities launched the Colloquium. This year, the presidents of 15 universities discussed academic freedom in higher education while their expert representatives met to consider the pressing issue of international cooperation on migration."
