麻省理工500教工联名公开信(2)

时间:2021-08-31

  我们支持麻省理工学院的核心价值观,支持不同知识分子、宗教、阶级、文化、和政治观点直接公开并互相尊重的讨论与交流。

  我们捍卫科学方法的原则,捍卫基于事实与逻辑的客观理性探索。科学不是一个特殊利益群体,也不是可有可无。科学是我们作为一个社会去分析、理解并解决我们所面临的最严峻挑战的根基。

  We, the undersigned faculty at MIT, thus affirm the following principles:

  We unconditionally reject every form of bigotry, discrimination, hateful rhetoric, and hateful action, whether directed towards one’s race, gender, gender identity, sexual orientation, religion, national origin, disability, citizenship, political views, socioeconomic status, veteran status, or immigration status.

  We endorse MIT’s values of open, respectful discourse and exchange of ideas from the widest variety of intellectual, religious, class, cultural, and political perspectives.

  We uphold the principles of the scientific method, of fact- and reason-based objective inquiry. Science is not a special interest; it is not optional. Science is a foundational ingredient in how we as a society analyze, understand, and solve the most difficult challenges that we face.

  任何麻省理工学院的成员,如果感受到恐惧和被压制,我们的大门永远敞开,随时准备提供帮助。我们也将和麻省理工社区所有成员协同合作 -- 包括学生、教授、职员、博士后、以及管理人员 -- 在今天,以及未来,捍卫这些原则。

  For any member of our community who may feel fear or oppression, our doors are open and we are ready to help. We pledge to work with all members of the community – students, faculty, staff, postdoctoral researchers, and administrators – to defend these principles today and in the times ahead.
