近日我们看到，个别媒体就夏业良副教授不续聘一事，对我院教师聘任委员会做出种种与事实不符的报道，对我们的学术良知和学术声誉造成很大伤害，为了以正视听、还原真相，我们认为有必要做以下说明：
聘任工作是按照北京大学和经济学院有关规定进行的一项教师管理的常规工作，也符合国际惯例。但令人遗憾的是，个别媒体却将此事与所谓政治问题挂钩，在未经调查、核实的情况下，无端指责北京大学，公开煽动有关大学向北京大学施加压力，并要求为夏业良恢复职务。这种无视事实真相的报道，严重损害了我们的学术声誉，对此我们表示强烈愤慨。
在此，我们郑重声明：我们每一位委员都依照规定、基于学术判断、独立匿名完成投票工作，在整个过程中，没有受到包括政治因素在内的任何压力。我们对各自的投票负学术和道义的责任。

A STATEMENT ON XIA YELIANG'S EMPLOYMENT STATUS
Recently, it has been brought to our attention that there have been reports from certain media regarding the non-renewal of Professor Xia Yeliang’s employment contract upon its expiration that included false claims about the Employment and Assessment Committee of our department. These false claims have severely damaged the academic reputation of the department. In order to provide an accurate account and restore the truth on the issue, we feel the need to issue the following statement:
Faculty appointment is a routine process of faculty management that is in accordance to pertinent rules and regulations of Peking University and the School of Economics as well as to common international practice. Regrettably, certain media companies attribute this decision to so-called political motive, and have, without proper investigation and verification, unjustifiably criticized Peking University. They have instigated certain universities to pressure Peking University into renewing Xia Yeliang’s contract. Baseless reports such as these have severely damaged our academic reputation, and we strongly disapprove of this defamation.
We hereby declare that: Every member of our committee observed the University’s regulations of assessment and completed the voting process individually and anonymously based on their judgment of Xia Yeliang’s academic performance. Throughout the process, none of the members were subjected to any pressure, political or otherwise. We each take full academic and moral responsibility for our individual actions.
