Joint Statement on the Value of Liberal Education by AAC&U and AAUP

In recent years, the disciplines of the liberal arts, 一度被普遍认为是大学学术生活的中心, 已被稳步转移到外围,并日益受到某些管理人员的威胁, elected officials, journalists and parents of college-age children. 对人类社会史和人类表达形式的研究现在常常被认为是无聊的, 一些学院和大学最近宣布全面取消文科系. 政客们提议将学费与特定专业的所谓市场价值挂钩. Students majoring in literature, art, 在科技和信息经济中,哲学和历史通常被认为是失业的, 尽管在这种经济环境下,雇主们极力主张,文科专业的学生之所以能成为科技行业的优秀员工,正是因为他们受过批判性和创造性思维的训练, and to adapt to unforeseen circumstances.

美国大学教授协会和美国学院和大学协会不是学科组织, but we believe that institutions of higher education, if they are truly to serve as institutions of higher education, 应不应只提供狭隘的职业培训,而应寻求提高学生终身学习的能力. 对于开放获取的机构来说,这是事实,对于高选择性的精英学院和大学来说也是如此. 文科的学科——以及文科教育的整体效益——在这方面堪称典范, 因为它们培养了人们对那些永远不会得到最终解决的问题——正义问题——的求知欲, about community, about politics and culture, about difference in every sense of the word. 所有的大学生,而不仅仅是少数特权阶层,都应该有机会解决这些问题,这是他们教育经历的重要组成部分. 人文学科是学术自由理想的核心, as well, because the liberal arts, by their nature, require free rein to pursue truth wherever it may lead. As a result, they provide an intellectual bulwark for academic freedom.

在他们1940年关于学术自由和终身教职原则的联合声明中,美国学术联合会和美国学术委员会&U强调,“高等教育机构是为了共同利益而设立的”,“共同利益依赖于对真理的自由探索和对真理的自由阐述。.“对真理的自由探索及其在文科中的自由阐述是民主运作的重要组成部分. 当大学取消和减少文科时,高等教育对公共利益和民主运作的贡献就会受到严重损害.
