基于言論自由，英國大學或將終止部分海外合作

　　根據英媒《BBC》報道，在新設計的保護學術自由的系統下，英格蘭地區的大學或將不得不改變或終止與部分國家的海外合作。根據英國學生辦公室(OfS)所述，部分需要讓學術人員通過思想測試的由海外政府或合作伙伴設立的獎學金可能會因此違規。

　　目前OfS已經對其接下來的指導方針設置了咨詢會，具體的結果將于今年的8月公布。從8月起，英國將實行一項新制度，如果學生、教職員工和來訪的演講者擔心其自由受到限制，他們可以提出投訴。

　　據悉，該政策實行時可能會依照具體問題具體分析的原則，并可能會包括罰款等處罰方式。OfS的指導方針并不局限于外國勢力的影響。他們還表示，例如，一本大學手冊規定，“你必須總是使用他們喜歡的代詞來稱呼或提及一個人”，這“很可能觸犯法律”。

　　代表140多所院校的英國大學聯合會(Universities UK)表示，“在這次磋商的基礎上做出的任何決定都必須得到充分考慮，而且需要是對等的”。羅素大學集團則表示它們歡迎這項政策，但該政策“可能會有意想不到的后果”。

　　“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.”
