美国立法者要求阿拉巴马大学恢复两个学生出版物, U.S. lawmakers demand University of Alabama reinstate two student publications suspended over DEI concerns.

美国 U.S. Terri Sewell和Shomari数字代表敦促阿拉巴马大学恢复两本学生出版物,《爱丽丝杂志》和《19 五十六刊》,这两本出版物于12月在联邦对多样性、公平和包容倡议的压力下暂停出版。 Representatives Terri Sewell and Shomari Figures are urging the University of Alabama to reinstate two student publications, Alice Magazine and Nineteen Fifty-Six, suspended in December amid federal pressure over diversity, equity, and inclusion initiatives. 该大学援引了2024年7月Pam Bondi总检察长的一份备忘录,该备忘录将DEI的努力与潜在的反歧视侵权行为联系起来,称这些出版物为歧视的非法代名词。 The university cited a July 2024 memo from Attorney General Pam Bondi linking DEI efforts to potential anti-discrimination violations, labeling the publications as unlawful proxies for discrimination. 立法者和阿拉巴马新闻协会新闻基金会认为此举威胁到言论自由、学术自由和学生表达, Lawmakers and the Alabama Press Association Journalism Foundation argue the move threatens free speech, academic freedom, and student expression, particularly for underrepresented voices. 他们警告说,这项决定开创了危险的先例,并要求与大学领导人举行会议,以扭转暂停执行的情况。 They warn the decision sets a dangerous precedent and are calling for a meeting with university leadership to reverse the suspension.
