Core Viewpoint - The departure of Matthias Doepke from Northwestern University highlights the growing concerns among academics regarding the current academic environment in the U.S., particularly under the Trump administration's policies that have increasingly targeted international students and scholars [4][9][18]. Group 1: Academic Environment - Doepke expressed that the academic atmosphere in the U.S. has shifted significantly, with a decline in the welcoming nature towards international students and scholars compared to when he first arrived [8][24]. - The tightening of policies under the Trump administration has led to reduced research funding and stricter scrutiny of international students and faculty, resulting in visa revocations and deportations [9][10][17]. - The uncertainty surrounding visa statuses has created a climate of fear among international scholars, making it difficult for them to pursue academic careers in the U.S. [22][31]. Group 2: Personal Experience and Decision - Doepke, who has lived in the U.S. for over 30 years and became a citizen in 2014, decided to leave due to the current environment not being conducive for raising a family and pursuing research [5][3]. - He has taken a position at the London School of Economics (LSE) and has expressed that many scholars are contemplating leaving the U.S., although practical challenges make it difficult for them to do so quickly [12][30]. - The decision to leave was influenced by a combination of factors, including concerns about the safety of his family and the overall academic culture shifting towards a less supportive environment for scientific exploration [11][16][21]. Group 3: Future Implications - The trend of scholars leaving the U.S. could lead to a significant loss of talent, as many may choose to pursue opportunities in Canada, Europe, or other regions with more favorable academic environments [31][34]. - Doepke noted that the current situation may deter future generations of international students from pursuing their studies in the U.S., as the opportunities that once existed are diminishing [24][25]. - The potential rise of other countries, such as China, as new centers for research and development could reshape the global academic landscape if the U.S. continues to lose its appeal [29].

当地时间5月2日，美国总统特朗普在社交平台发声，宣称将取消哈佛大学的免税资格，直言"这是他们应得的"。这一言论并非空穴来风，而是特朗普政府与 哈佛大学近期激烈冲突的延续，背后折射出诸多复杂的因素，其影响也在持续发酵。 事情的导火索要追溯到2025年4月11日，特朗普政府官员向哈佛大学致信，提出一系列颇为强硬的要求。 他们希望学校进行"有意义的治理改革与重组"，具体包括削弱学生和教职员工在校务中的权力；摒弃现有的一些招生和招聘理念，实施基于能力的招聘和录 取政策，停止一切基于种族、肤色和国籍等因素的优待；改革国际学生的招生流程，避免录取所谓敌视美国价值观和制度的学生，诸如支持恐怖主义或反犹 主义的学生；甚至要求关闭所有与 "多元化、公平与包容" 政策相关的项目。 面对特朗普政府近乎"干涉内政"的要求，哈佛校方在4月14日果断拒绝，哈佛大学校长艾伦・M・加伯在向全校人员发出的公开信中坚定表示，"不会牺牲其 独立性，不会放弃宪法赋予的权利"，明确指出联邦政府无权对私立大学的教学内容、招生和人事政策以及研究内容指手画脚。 几小时后，美国政府迅速采取报复措施，宣布冻结给哈佛的 22 亿美元拨款和 6000 万美元项目合 ...
