Instructors from Cornell College attacked in China
Four Mount Vernon Cornell College instructors teaching in China were injured during a daytime visit to a public park in Jilin City. One instructor, David Zahner, was stabbed in the arm and is recovering. two others remain in intensive care. The party had been touring a local temple when attacked by a knife wielder. The incident follows a 2018 Beihua University partnership aimed at cross country teaching in computer science mathematics and physics. The U.S. State Department has issued a Level 3 travel advisory for mainland China, prompting some universities to suspend programs.
