1. Introduction background

Strengthening the construction of charters for colleges and universities is an important task proposed by the education planning outline in improving the modern university system with Chinese characteristics. In order to implement the requirements of the education planning outline, the Ministry of Education has carefully studied and repeatedly solicited opinions, and recently issued the Ministry of Education’s first31The "Interim Measures for the Formulation of Charters of Colleges and Universities" (hereinafter referred to as: "Measures for the Formulation of Charters of Colleges and Universities") were promulgated in the form of an order, and on2012Year1month1Effective from today.

According to the provisions of the "Education Law", it is the legal right of the w88 casino to formulate charters and manage independently according to the charters. The "Higher Education Law" specifically stipulates the content of college charters. In the section on improving the modern university system with Chinese characteristics, the educational planning outline proposes: "Strengthen the construction of charters. All types of colleges and universities should formulate charters in accordance with the law and manage schools in accordance with the provisions of the charters." In recent years, the practice of my country's higher education reform and development has shown that to promote the scientific development of colleges and universities, the basic experience is to govern schools and run schools in accordance with the law. Charters of colleges and universities are not only a necessary condition for the independent management of colleges and universities in accordance with the law and the realization of law-based governance, but also an important carrier for clarifying the relationship between internal and external rights and obligations of colleges and universities, promoting colleges and universities to improve their governance structures, develop scientifically, and build a modern university system.

2. Main contents of the "Measures for the Development of College Charter"

The "Measures for the Establishment of University Charters" is divided into five chapters: general provisions, charter content, charter formulation procedures, charter approval and supervision, and supplementary provisions,33Article, from both the physical and procedural aspects, comprehensively regulates the principles, content, and procedures of the formulation of university charters, as well as the main issues and links involved in the approval and supervision. It mainly solves the problem that most public colleges and universities currently do not have charters or the existing charters do not meet the requirements of the modern university system. The purpose is to provide content guidance and procedural standards for colleges and universities to formulate charters, promote colleges and universities to implement overall reforms with charter construction as the core, and formulate high-quality charters that comply with legal provisions and reflect the needs and characteristics of the w88 casino; at the same time, standardize the procedures for the formulation and approval of college charters, so that college charters have the due legal effect through scientific, democratic, and open procedures.

Establish the status and role of the charter. Article 3 of the "Measures for the Development of Charters of Colleges and Universities" stipulates: "The charter is the basic criterion for colleges and universities to independently run schools, implement management, and perform public functions in accordance with the law. Colleges and universities should use the charter as a basis to formulate internal management systems and normative documents, implement w88 casino running and management activities, and carry out social cooperation. Colleges and universities should make the charter public and accept supervision and evaluation based on the charter by the sponsors, education authorities, other relevant agencies, teachers, students, and the public." It establishes the fundamental and normative role of the charter in the w88 casino's institutional system. In layman's terms, it is the "charter" within the w88 casino. It emphasizes that the charter has the function of standardizing and guiding the w88 casino's management system and is the basic norm of w88 casino behavior. It is clear that the charter should become the basic basis for colleges and universities to accept external supervision and implement self-supervision.

Propose the basic principles for formulating the charter. The first is the principle of the rule of law, that is, university charters must abide by the principle of unity of the legal system, abide by the principles and regulations of the law, be guided by the theoretical system of socialism with Chinese characteristics, grasp the direction of socialist w88 casino running, and implement the concept of independent management in accordance with the law into specific regulations. The second is the principle of reform, that is, the formulation of charters should not be a collection and compilation of the w88 casino's existing system norms, or a repeated description of the existing system, but should become a part of the reform of the university system, so that the reform of the university management system and the construction of charters can mutually promote each other, use reform to provide motivation and content for the formulation of charters, and use charter construction as the entry point for reform and the carrier of system integration. The third is the principle of autonomy, that is, the charter should focus on improving the w88 casino's independent management and self-discipline systems and mechanisms to reflect the w88 casino's running characteristics.

Clear the requirements that university charters should have. Chapter 2 of the "Measures for the Development of University Charters" stipulates the content of university charters from three aspects: First, the charter must have statutory content, and it is clear that the charter must contain the basic content of the charter determined in Article 28 of the "Higher Education Law". Secondly, the charter must include the content of autonomy proposed in laws and educational planning outlines, and clarify the rules for the exercise and supervision of autonomy in running schools. Third, the charter must include the connotation and requirements of the modern university system, including decision-making mechanisms, governance structures, democratic management, academic systems, professional evaluation, social cooperation and other necessary institutional elements and requirements for establishing a modern university system. It must clarify the operating rules of various powers within the university, reflect the people-oriented philosophy of running a w88 casino, and highlight the recognition and protection of the rights and status of teachers and students.

Standardize the procedures for formulating charter. It is clear that the charter is drafted by the w88 casino organization. The w88 casino's drafting organization must be broadly representative. The drafting of the charter must follow the principles of democracy, science, and openness, and adopt an open-door legislative approach, so that the drafting of the charter becomes a process for the w88 casino to build consensus, promote management, and enhance harmony. In the drafting process, opinions from all aspects of the w88 casino must be extensively solicited, and democracy must be fully promoted on major issues. The method for formulating the charter fully draws on the practical experience of relevant universities. It stipulates that the draft charter shall be discussed by the faculty representative conference, reviewed by the principal's office meeting, approved by the w88 casino party committee, and signed by the legal representative after approval to ensure that the draft charter is fully discussed within the w88 casino and reflects the opinions of all parties. At the same time, the "Measures for the Formulation of Charters of Colleges and Universities" also stipulates that the organizing authority or competent department of a college shall participate in the formulation of the charter in an appropriate manner, and in accordance with the principle of separation of government and w88 casino, separation of management and operation, the charter shall clearly define the relationship between the government and the w88 casino, clarify the w88 casino's direction and development principles, and respect and maintain the w88 casino's autonomy in running a w88 casino.

Establish procedures and systems for charter approval. In accordance with the principles and spirit of the reform of the administrative approval system of the State Council, the charter formulation method decentralizes the authority to approve charters in accordance with the Higher Education Law. That is, the charters of colleges and universities run by local governments are approved by the provincial education administrative department. The charters of colleges and universities with bachelor's degrees and above are reported to the Ministry of Education for record after approval. The charters of colleges and universities directly under the Ministry of Education are approved by the Ministry of Education. The charters of other colleges and universities affiliated to central departments are approved by the competent department and submitted to the Ministry of Education for approval. The measures also stipulate that the approval of the charter must be reviewed by the charter approval committee. This is a new system created with the purpose of further improving the effectiveness and authority of the charter and ensuring the stability of the charter.

Sound the implementation and supervision mechanism of the charter. In order to ensure that the charter can be implemented after it is formulated and promulgated, the "Measures for the Formulation of the Charter of Colleges and Universities" stipulates that schools must establish internal systems and document review mechanisms based on the charter to implement the core position of the charter in w88 casino management; it is clear that the competent authorities should recognize the independent provisions made by colleges and universities in the charter, guide and supervise the implementation of the charter by colleges and universities, and correct the failure of colleges and universities to implement the charter or the management behavior that they implement on their own in violation of the charter.
