　　基于言论自由，英国大学或将终止部分海外合作

　　根据英媒《BBC》报道，在新设计的保护学术自由的系统下，英格兰地区的大学或将不得不改变或终止与部分国家的海外合作。根据英国学生办公室(OfS)所述，部分需要让学术人员通过思想测试的由海外政府或合作伙伴设立的奖学金可能会因此违规。

　　目前OfS已经对其接下来的指导方针设置了咨询会，具体的结果将于今年的8月公布。从8月起，英国将实行一项新制度，如果学生、教职员工和来访的演讲者担心其自由受到限制，他们可以提出投诉。

　　据悉，该政策实行时可能会依照具体问题具体分析的原则，并可能会包括罚款等处罚方式。OfS的指导方针并不局限于外国势力的影响。他们还表示，例如，一本大学手册规定，“你必须总是使用他们喜欢的代词来称呼或提及一个人”，这“很可能触犯法律”。

　　代表140多所院校的英国大学联合会(Universities UK)表示，“在这次磋商的基础上做出的任何决定都必须得到充分考虑，而且需要是对等的”。罗素大学集团则表示它们欢迎这项政策，但该政策“可能会有意想不到的后果”。

　　“Universities in England could have to change or end their partnerships with countries such as China under a new system designed to protect freedom of speech.

　　Scholarships funded by foreign governments and partnerships that mean academic staff have to pass ideological tests may breach rules, according to the Office for Students (OfS).

　　It has launched a consultation on its guidance, which will come into effect in August.

　　Universities say they take their commitments to freedom of speech and academic freedom "extremely seriously".

　　From August, a new system in England will allow students, staff and visiting speakers to complain if they are concerned about restrictions on freedom of speech.

　　In draft guidelines, the OfS has outlined instances where universities, colleges and students' unions could, in the future, breach their free-speech duties.

　　They include scholarships where international students "must accept the principles of the ruling party" of their country, and where that party seeks to control students through its consulate.

　　They also include institutes that are part-funded by overseas organisations, and where academic staff must pass "an ideological test as a condition of appointment and employment".

　　The guidelines apply to all autocratic countries, but China is likely to be the principal concern.

　　More international students in the UK come from China than from any other country, and MPs have expressed concern about the financial reliance of universities on Chinese students.”
