Did you know that the University of Mississippi is a member of the Scholars at Risk network? The Scholars at Risk Network matches threatened scholars with institutions around the world. As a member of the network, the University of Mississippi supports SAR's efforts, and its departments can be matched with scholars at risk. We can also recommend known threatened scholars to the network for support services.
Recently, SAR has received unprecedented numbers of applications for assistance and are working with over 70 scholars seeking placements within the network. In addition, they are working with 6 scholars in engineering and 6 scholars in education this month for more immediate placement. If interested, please review these anonymized PDF lists of engineering and education scholars needing placement.
If your department has available funds to support a scholar at risk for a temporary appointment from 1 - 2 years, please review the anonymized list of scholars in need of academic homes. If you have questions or just want to learn more, please reach out to Blair McElroy.
