"Most people can't come for a full semester," said Wayne Smith,
an adjunct professor at Johns Hopkins University who brings students to
Cuba every year. "Almost everybody comes for a short-term program
because that fits into their schedules back home."
"The purpose is to stop educational travel," said Smith, who was
chief U.S. diplomat in Cuba 25 years ago and now a senior fellow at the
Washington-based Center for International Policy. "Yet we (the United
States) are supposed to be the champions of academic freedoms and the
exchange of ideas."
