- 这个独立委员会成立于1950年，旨在指导美国国家科学基金会的治理工作，并就科学与工程政策向总统和国会提供建议。
- 委员会共有20余名成员，任期为六年。
- 自2025年初就职以来，特朗普一直在向独立机构施压。政治专家表示，他的政府试图通过在领导层安插亲信、罢免独立且持批评意见的声音，来重塑这些机构。
- 委员会成员约兰达·吉尔和凯万·斯塔森在电子邮件声明中表示，委员会成员于周五被告知将被立即解职。
- 任职于南加州大学信息科学研究所的吉尔表示：“没错，国家科学委员会当前全部22名成员已于周五被立即解雇，未给出任何理由。”
- 吉尔在接受路透社采访时表示，委员会多数成员为学术界人士，同时也有来自国家实验室、非营利组织和企业界的代表。
- 任职于范德堡大学的斯塔森表示：“看到本届政府在联邦政府各部门，尤其是科研领域采取类似行动，这一切只是时间问题。”
- 斯塔森称自己感到失望，并证实了吉尔的说法，即周五的解雇邮件未给出任何理由。
- 美国国家科学基金会将问题转交至白宫处理。
- 一名白宫官员表示，国会在设立该委员会时赋予其的职权或许需要更新。这位官员还表示，美国国家科学基金会的工作“将不受影响地继续开展”。

WASHINGTON, April 27 (Reuters) – President Donald Trump’s administration has terminated the entire National Science Board of more than 20 members, two fired members of the board said on Monday.

- The independent board was established in 1950 to guide the governance of the National Science Foundation and to advise the president and the Congress on policies about science and engineering.
- It included over 20 members appointed for six-year terms.
- Since taking office in early 2025, Trump has put pressure on independent institutions. Political experts say his administration is attempting to remake those bodies by installing loyalists in leadership positions and by removing independent and critical voices.
- Board members were told on Friday they were being ousted effective immediately, members Yolanda Gil and Keivan Stassun, said in emailed statements.
- “Yes, all 22 current members of the National Science Board were terminated on Friday effective immediately. No reason was given,” Gil, who works at the Information Sciences Institute of the University of Southern California, said.
- The majority of the board members were academics. It also had representation from national labs, non-profits and the industry, Gil told Reuters.
- “Seeing similar actions by the Administration across the federal government and especially with regards to scientific research, it seemed only a matter of time,” Stassun, who works at Vanderbilt University, said.
- Stassun, who said he was disappointed, also confirmed Gil’s account that Friday’s termination email did not provide any reason.
- The National Science Foundation directed questions to the White House.
- A White House official said authorities given to the board by Congress when the board was created may need updating. The National Science Foundation’s work “continues uninterrupted,” the official said.
