Rhoads, who passed away on October 25, 2018, at the age of 60, after a long battle with cancer. His essay was subsequently, after peer review, revised and completed by his wife, Xiaoyang Sun (Ningbo University of Finance and Economics), and two other scholars familiar with his work, Jenny Jong-Hwa Lee (UCLA) and Xuyan Wang (Hangzhou Normal University).Rhoads was a much-loved professor at UCLA and a scholar of higher education in China and elsewhere, of internet-based instruction, and of university students’ lives. His most recent books include the coauthored China’s Rising Research Universities (Johns Hopkins University Press, 2014) and Global Citizenship and the University (Stanford University Press, 2011)—for which he won the Outstanding Publication of the Year Award from the Postsecondary Education Division of the American Educational Research Association (AERA)—and The University, State, and Market: The Political Economy of Globalization in the Americas (Stanford University Press, 2006), coedited with Carlos Torres. Those on the CER editorial team who knew Rhoads remember him as an interesting scholar and a strong supporter of his students, as well as a kind and gracious colleague.
