U.S.-Cuban Opening Paves Way For Deeper Academic Links

"Academic exchanges have proven to be a powerful form of public diplomacy," says IIE president Allan Goodman. He says U.S. relations with Cuba could follow a trajectory similar to that of Vietnam, another communist country with a state-controlled higher education system, a high literacy rate, and a thirst for education.
