Ben Meiselas: 特朗普政府正在对包括弗吉尼亚大学在内的大学发起攻击,试图控制学校的课程和政治观点。弗吉尼亚大学不像哈佛那样有能力保护自己免受特朗普政府的攻击,因为它位于一个由MAGA共和党州长控制的州。特朗普政府攻击弗吉尼亚大学,是因为该大学提倡多样性,并允许人们阅读他们想读的书。吉姆·瑞安校长拒绝让特朗普政府干预学校事务,导致特朗普政府与弗吉尼亚州州长合作,试图摧毁这所大学。吉姆·瑞安校长面临着辞职以拯救大学或不辞职而让特朗普政府摧毁大学的选择。吉姆·瑞安没有选择抗争,因为特朗普政府会大幅削减弗吉尼亚大学的联邦资金,导致大量失业、学生资助减少以及国际学生签证受阻。 Jim Ryan: 我怀着沉重的心情宣布辞去弗吉尼亚大学校长的职务。我倾向于为我所信仰的事物而战,并且我深深地热爱这所大学。但是,我不能为了保住自己的工作而单方面决定与联邦政府作斗争,因为这样做不仅不合法,而且对于那些会因此失去工作的数百名员工、失去研究经费的研究人员以及可能失去经济援助或签证的数百名学生来说,这似乎是自私和以自我为中心的。如果这件事不是与我个人联系如此紧密,我可能会选择不同的道路,但是为了保住我自己的职位,让我的同事和学生受到实际的直接伤害,这让我良心不安。我很荣幸能成为你们的校长。 Abigail Spanberger: 吉姆·瑞安校长的辞职对弗吉尼亚大学和联邦来说都是损失,司法部迫使他辞职是对学术自由的侵犯。作为弗吉尼亚大学的校友,我对州长及其政府在面对这些对弗吉尼亚大学的攻击时保持沉默感到非常失望。作为州长,我将采取果断措施,确保所有联邦的董事会成员都致力于服务和加强我们的公立大学。
