南加州大学拒绝参与联邦教育协议

摘要

南加州大学拒绝了特朗普政府的教育协议,理由是担忧学术自由和机构自主权受到影响。

南加州大学(USC)已拒绝参与特朗普政府提出的教育协议,该协议为符合特定政策指令的大学提供联邦研究资金的优先访问权。代理校长金奉秀在致教育部长琳达·麦克马洪的信中传达了这一决定,表达了对该协议可能削弱自由探究和学术卓越价值观的担忧。

“我们担心,尽管该协议是自愿的,但将研究利益与之挂钩,随着时间推移,会削弱协议试图促进的自由探究和学术卓越的价值观,”金奉秀写道。

该协议于本月初推出,要求大学承诺实施诸如基于生物性别定义性别、限制外国学生入学以及对美国学生实行五年学费冻结等政策。接受这些条款的机构将获得联邦研究拨款和额外资金的优先支持。

南加州大学的决定继麻省理工学院和布朗大学类似拒绝之后。加利福尼亚州州长加文·纽瑟姆曾敦促南加州大学拒绝该提议,并威胁将停止向任何同意该协议的加州大学提供州资金。

“为了在南加州大学营造这样的环境,我们承诺保持机构中立,并启动了多项旨在促进跨意识形态光谱文明对话的举措,”金奉秀表示。

该协议在高等教育界引发了争议,批评者认为它将政治议程强加于学术机构,威胁其自主权。支持者则认为该协议促进了基于绩效的政策,并解决了学术界意识形态偏见的问题。

随着10月20日截止日期的临近,其他受邀机构,包括弗吉尼亚大学和德克萨斯大学奥斯汀分校,正在审查该协议,尚未宣布决定。
