“…No studies have yet explored the experiences of faculty or looked at the way pandemic has been dealt with on campuses of international universities, which are for the purposes of this study understood as the first generation of international universities in Jane Knight's terms (2014), i.e. universities with a diversity of international partnerships, international students and staff and multiple collaborative activities Meanwhile, managing COVID-19 on campuses of such international universities, which are growing in numbers across the world, can be hypothesized as presenting unique challenges.…”

The paper analyses an institutional approach and international faculty responses to implementation of social-distancing measures during COVID-19 on a residential campus of an international university in Kazakhstan. Terror-Management Theory is used to interpret the behavioral responses of the faculty. The theory predicts three types of international faculty responses to the conscious fear of death from COVID-19 – death avoidance, death acceptance, and death negation. These responses determine the extent of compliance with social distance-control measures. In addition three anxiety-buffering mechanisms proposed by the theory – commitment to particular worldviews, self-esteem enhancement and maintenance of social connections – serve as factors of variation in responses. Implications are drawn from the results about the relevance of the theory to the analysis of campus population responses to COVID-19-control measures on domestic and international campuses. Recommendations for university administrators at international universities are made about managing the three types of responses.
