Description
Founded in 2000, Scholars at Risk (SAR) is an international network of higher education institutions and individuals whose mission it is to protect scholars and promote academic freedom, free inquiry, and free expression. The SAR network includes over 500 institutions in 39 countries that participate in its three core activity areas: protection; advocacy; and research and learning. With Corporation support, SAR will continue to assist the growing university academics and students who have been displaced, arrested, and, worse, threatened by death by arranging refuge in temporary teaching and research positions, while providing life and career saving advice, referrals and other services.

Description
The Scholars at Risk Network (SAR) is rooted in the principle of academic freedom. This international organization works to (1) to protect scholars, (2) defend higher education communities and values through data-driven advocacy, (3) empower individuals through research and training to protect higher education, and (4) increase service to institutions and individuals, especially in Africa and the Middle East. With this renewal request, SAR seeks to augment their capacity to help scholars, students, and universities to accommodate the growing influx of scholar applicants due to crises in Syria, Turkey, and elsewhere. This work will advance protection of higher education communities and human rights, as well as research and advocacy.
