<h3><strong>Public Service Through the Spoken Word (G-4)</strong></h3>
Description
An account of the resource
Radio Free Asia also has a website that serves as an alternative way of reaching its potential audience. This website offers enriched content and detailed coverage of all of the key issues ongoing in Vietnam, with a primary focus on democracy, civil society and human rights. Although Vietnam has one of the region’s highest Internet penetration growth rates, the nation blocks the Radio Free Asia website and thereby prevents its approximately 40 million Internet users from accessing a source of independent and vital information unless such users circumvent the censorship by using secure browsers and virtual private networks (VPNs).
Based on Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty, Radio Free Asia (FRA), was established in the 1990’s, with the aim of promoting democratic values and human rights, and diminishing the Communist Party control of China. RFA is funded by a grant from the U.S. Agency for Global Media (formerly the "Broadcasting Board of Governors"), an independent agency of the United States government. In 2017, RFA and other networks, such as Voice of America, were put under the newly created U.S. Agency for Global Media, an independent federal agency. RFA is the only station outside of China that broadcasts in the Uygur-language. As a result, Radio Free Asia has been recognized for playing a vital role in exposing Xinjiang re-education camps. The New York Times considers RFA to be one of the few reliable sources of information about Xinjiang.
RFA broadcasts news and relevant information to the nations of China, Tibet, North Korea, Vietnam, Cambodia, Laos, and Burma.
RFA adheres to the highest journalistic standards of objectivity, accuracy, and fairness, as defined in the code of ethics for its reporters and editors. In countries and regions with little or no access to accurate and timely journalism, as well as alternative opinions and perspectives, RFA’s nine language services fill a crucial gap. RFA aims to retain the greatest confidence among its audiences and to serve as a model on which others may shape their own emerging journalistic traditions.
RFA is a private, nonprofit corporation, funded by the U.S. Congress through the U.S. Agency for Global Media (USAGM), which is an independent federal government agency that oversees all U.S. civilian international media. In addition to providing oversight for RFA's radio broadcasts and the like, the USAGM works with RFA to ensure the professional independence and integrity of its journalism.

Description
An account of the resource
<p>Mary Sue Coleman, President of the Association of American Universities, delivered a compelling speech on September 27, 2016, at the <span>Times Higher Education World Academic Summit, University of California,</span><span class="widont"> </span><span>Berkeley. In this speech, Coleman</span> spoke quite vocally about the issue of higher education being a public good that is appearing to become increasingly inaccessible and lacking support. Within her speech, a noteworthy quote she stated was, "We are, I believe, at a tipping point. The question is which way public higher education will fall, and who will do the pushing," suggestive of the lack of support among state governments towards public education, which had declined by a whopping 30 percent. As a result of the decline in state funding for public education, Coleman explained how such coincided with the increased costs of education for students and families. Accordingly, this increase in tuition costs had led universites to make major cuts, to educational programs, as well as services, which may potentially weaken the quality of the education students receive as a result of the state investment declines for public educational universities that are now offering less programs and services to their students, yet charging students and families increased tuition rates. </p>
<p><br />Faced with skepticism, Coleman uses her speech to reiterate how public universities drive American research along with health benefits. Coleman concludes by emphasizing that we should seek new revenue streams in order to fund public universities, to foster partnerships between public research universities and the private sector, and by improving student access through policy reforms.<br /><br /><span>Within a 15-year span, starting in 2000, investment by American state governments in public higher education declined by 30 percent. Thirty percent. That is an ominous start to the 21st century. And a large step backward in a nation aiming for the highest proportion of college graduates in the world by the year 2020.</span></p>
