Résumé

L'Université Brown a décliné une proposition fédérale offrant un financement préférentiel en échange de changements politiques, invoquant des menaces à la liberté académique et à l'autonomie institutionnelle.

L'Université Brown a refusé une proposition de l'administration Trump qui offrait un accès préférentiel au financement fédéral en échange de la mise en œuvre de changements politiques spécifiques. Dans une lettre datée du 15 octobre 2025, adressée à la secrétaire à l'Éducation Linda McMahon, la présidente de Brown, Christina Paxson, a exprimé ses inquiétudes selon lesquelles cet accord « restreindrait la liberté académique et compromettrait l'autonomie de la gouvernance de Brown ».

L'accord proposé, envoyé à neuf universités le 1er octobre 2025, détaillait des exigences telles que la suppression des considérations liées au sexe et à l'ethnie dans les admissions, la limitation de l'inscription des étudiants internationaux à 15 %, et l'adoption de définitions du genre basées sur des fonctions biologiques. En retour, les établissements participants recevraient la priorité pour les subventions fédérales et des invitations à des événements à la Maison Blanche.

Le refus de Brown fait suite à une décision similaire du Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), dont la présidente Sally Kornbluth a déclaré que l'accord incluait des principes qui « restreindraient la liberté d'expression et notre indépendance en tant qu'institution ».

D'autres universités ayant reçu la proposition, notamment l'Université Vanderbilt, l'Université de Pennsylvanie et l'Université d'Arizona, examinent actuellement l'accord. L'Université du Texas à Austin a exprimé une position plus favorable, indiquant sa volonté de collaborer avec l'administration sur cette proposition.

L'administration Trump a étendu l'accord à toutes les universités américaines, visant à réformer les établissements d'enseignement supérieur en les alignant sur des objectifs politiques spécifiques. L'administration a indiqué que les universités refusant l'offre pourraient faire l'objet d'un contrôle accru concernant leur conformité aux lois fédérales.
