This summer, Bard College was placed on Russia’s list of “undesirable” organizations, severing the college’s longstanding degree-granting partnership with St. Petersburg State University. Watch William Wohlforth, the Daniel Webster Professor of Government, discuss Russia’s decision and its implications for higher education.

“The deterioration of U.S.-Russian relations, if it continues, is going to render programs such as this very, very difficult,” says Wohlforth.
