麻省理工学院拒绝附带政策条件的联邦资助
摘要
麻省理工学院拒绝了一项要求遵守特定政策条件的联邦资助提案，强调其对学术独立性的承诺。
麻省理工学院（MIT）拒绝了特朗普政府提出的一项联邦资助提案，该提案要求遵守特定的政策条件。该提案名为“高等教育学术卓越契约”，已发送给九所大学，内容包括禁止在招生和奖学金中考虑性别、种族或政治观点等因素，冻结学费五年，以及采用严格的性别定义。作为回报，签署该契约的学校将获得优先联邦资助及其他福利。
在致美国教育部长琳达·麦克马洪的信中，MIT校长萨莉·科恩布鲁斯表示，尽管该校的做法已符合或超出契约中许多标准，但提案中的某些原则与MIT的核心价值观相冲突。她强调，美国在科学和创新领域的领导地位依赖于独立思考和公开竞争的卓越追求。
教育部尚未立即回应置评请求。其他收到该提案的大学，包括范德堡大学、宾夕法尼亚大学、达特茅斯学院、南加州大学、德克萨斯大学、亚利桑那大学、布朗大学和弗吉尼亚大学，正在审查该契约。其中，德克萨斯大学似乎对该提案持积极回应。
