#1214 - Daniel Golden

Daniel Golden is a senior editor at ProPublica, a non-profit website for investigative reporting. His latest book "Spy Schools": How The CIA, FBI, and Foreign Intelligence Secretly Exploit America's Universities, the book reveals that globalization—the influx of foreign students and professors and the outflow of Americans for study, teaching, and conferences abroad—has transformed U.S. higher education into a front line for international spying. The FBI and CIA reciprocate, tapping international students and faculty as informants. Universities ignore or even condone this interference, despite the tension between their professed global values and the nationalistic culture of espionage.
