摘要
本次圆桌会议探讨了美国州立大学关系史上的四个历史事件。在这样做的过程中,它解决了在当今辩论中也占有突出地位的问题,包括学术自由和言论自由问题,国家在研究经费中的作用以及高等教育的国际特征。圆桌会议由期刊编辑召集,四位历史学家分别发表了各自的贡献,每位历史学家都专注于一个特定的文件和时刻:1912年美国教育专员菲兰德·克拉克顿(Philander Claxton)的一份报告,该报告表明了向国际化战略的转变(夏洛特·莱格);1915年美国大学教授协会关于学术自由的声明(Tomás爱尔兰语);Vannevar Bush 1945年的科学报告——无尽的前沿(Christopher Loss);以及1967年的《关于学生权利和自由的联合声明》(Kate Ballantyne)。综合起来,这些片段指向了一个更广泛的问题——即不同的政治和学术行为者赋予学术研究和高等教育的角色和公共价值——以及参与其中的机构和个人。
History Roundtable on US Universities and the State: Episodes from the Twentieth Century
This roundtable explores four historical episodes in the history of state–university relations in the United States. In doing so, it addresses issues that also figure prominently in present-day debates, including questions of academic freedom and free speech, the state's role in research funding as well as the international features of higher education. Convened by the journal's editor, the roundtable features individual contributions from four historians, each of whom focuses on a particular document and moment in time: a 1912 report from the US Commissioner of Education, Philander Claxton, that indicated a shift towards an internationalization strategy (Charlotte Lerg); a 1915 statement on academic freedom by the American Association of University Professors (Tomás Irish); Vannevar Bush's 1945 report on Science – the Endless Frontier (Christopher Loss); and a ‘Joint Statement on Rights and Freedoms of Students’ from 1967 (Kate Ballantyne). Taken together, these pieces point to a wider question – namely the role and public value that different political and academic actors attribute to academic research and higher education – and to the institutions and individuals that are engaged in it.
