重申伯克利對國際化校園環境的支持

敬愛的伯克利社區，

最近幾週，伯克利行政部收到了一些針對我們華裔教授及與中國公司和機構合作的研究人員的負面評論和報導。暗示這些學者可能會充當間諜，或有其他不合規矩的工作，與美國的利益衝突。

我們也曾經聽到過針對伊朗美國教授和其他與中東學術或個人有關系的人的類似的報告。

讓我們明確一點，這類評論會造成傷害和信任危機，對我們社區的成員造成歧視，並違背我們既定的校園原則。

在涉及國家安全的問題成為我們校報頭版新聞的時候，請不要對來自這些國家或者祖籍是這些國家的學生、教職員工、訪問學者和社區其他成員不友好。

加利福尼亞自己的黑暗歷史告訴我們，基於原籍國的懷疑，可能導致非常可怕的不公正。

因此，我們寫信重申伯克利的原則，我們向來自世界各地的人們開放，並要求伯克利人也繼續對讓我們社區的所有成員持歡迎和尊重態度。

在這方面請注意，即使是非正式場合開玩笑性質的言論，也可能對我們希望建設包容性的校園環境有害。

除此之外，也需要瞭解一個基本規則，伯克利大學的教師和學生們並不接觸敏感的秘密技術或知識。

自20世紀30年代以來，加州已經確立明確的政策，加州的大學不參與任何結果不能公開公佈或傳播的研究。

如果您對伯克利的研究合作夥伴關系有任何擔憂，建議您通過[email protected]與主管研究的副校長辦公室聯系。

感謝您努力使我們的校園成為社區所有成員都受歡迎的地方。

此致，

卡羅爾·克瑞斯

Reaffirming our support for Berkeley』s international community

Dear campus community,

In recent weeks, the Berkeley administration has received several reports of negative comments directed at our Chinese-American faculty, as well as at researchers engaged in collaborations with Chinese companies and institutions, implying without basis that these scholars could be acting as spies or otherwise working at odds with the interests of the United States. We have heard reports of similar messages directed at Iranian-American faculty and others with academic or personal ties to the Middle East.

Let us be clear that comments of this sort breed hurt and distrust, discriminate against members of our community, and run counter to our well-established Principles of Community. At a time when national security issues involving foreign countries make the front pages of our newspapers, it is critical that we not become any less welcoming to students, staff, faculty, visiting scholars, and other members of our community who come from those countries, or for whom those countries are an ancestral home. As California』s own dark history teaches us, an automatic suspicion of people based on their national origin can lead to terrible injustices.

We therefore write to reaffirm that Berkeley remains open to people from all over the world, and ask that you continue to make all members of our community feel welcome and respected. In this regard, please be mindful that even off-hand remarks made in jest can be harmful to building the inclusive environment we wish to have on campus.

Beyond all this, as a general rule, Berkeley faculty and graduate students do not work with sensitive technological secrets or sensitive knowledge. Since the 1930s, University of California policy has made it clear that campuses will not engage in any research whose results cannot be openly and publicly disseminated.

If you have concerns about any aspects of the research partnerships taking place at Berkeley, we encourage you to contact the Office of the Vice Chancellor for Research at [email protected]. Thank you for endeavoring to make our campus a place where all members of our community feel welcome.

Sincerely,

Carol Christ
Chancellor

Paul Alivisatos
Executive Vice Chancellor and Provost

Randy Katz
Vice Chancellor for Research
