This paper examines the differences between foreign university liaison offices in China and attempts to classify different types of offices using interview data collected in 2010. We found that all liaison offices had responsibilities for institutional advancement functions like student recruitment while a smaller number were charged with enhancing the international components of core university functions of research, teaching, and community engagement. The researchers also concluded that offices with primarily profit-driven motivations are less likely than those with broader internationalization agendas to expand their responsibilities over time.
