University partnerships can be shaky

The booming education market is luring more overseas universities to open branches or establish partnerships in China, but the marriages do not always seem happy.

For example, Yale Daily News recently reported that the university was terminating a joint undergraduate program with Peking University.

The Peking University-Yale University Joint Undergraduate Program, established in 2006, offered Yale students the chance to take classes taught in English by professors from both schools in Beijing for either a year or a semester.
