The first batch of pilot universities to establish a modern university system have been established26Expanded to32So. An important part of establishing a modern university system is to revise the university charter. this year1month110917_10962
Q: The connotation of the modern university system reflects a legal relationship, which is regulated in the form of institutional charter through legal subjects, objects and contents. There are four basic systems, namely party committee leadership, principal responsibility, professor governance and democratic supervision. How do you understand the significance of establishing a modern university system?
Answer:As an institutional system, the modern university system has public rules and is contemporary. It is also constantly changing and developing. The modern university system is the management model of contemporary universities. It has some public features and public rules to strengthen the standardized management of universities.
The reasons for establishing a modern university system are, first, this is the "National Medium and Long-term Education Reform and Development Plan Outline" (2010-2020)》strategic deployment. Second, there is the need to deepen the reform of the higher education system. Third, it is necessary to provide institutional guarantees for education reform under the current situation and ensure the formation of the system through appropriate mechanisms“Academic freedom, academic exploration, a hundred schools of thought contending, a hundred flowers blooming”'s environment. Fourth, improve the teaching quality of higher education and ensure the scientific development of universities with a modern university system.
In my opinion, the significance of establishing a modern university system is to adjust the rights, responsibilities and obligations of all aspects of the university so that they cooperate with each other, and to adjust rights, responsibilities and rights from macro and micro aspects. Rights and responsibilities are equal. Only having responsibilities without rights will cause rights to go out of control, and only having rights without responsibilities will not accomplish anything. Responsibilities and interests must be linked. In fact, this forms a harmonious hierarchical and decentralized institution with a balanced balance of rights, responsibilities and interests, which is conducive to establishing a stable and harmonious pattern for the development of the university. To establish a modern university system is to use a framework to regulate, constrain and manage order. Orderliness is conducive to the harmony and stability of the w88 casino. Establishing such a system can also balance the relationship between stakeholders. In addition, the distribution system and incentive system are also part of the institutional norms. Balancing the relationship between stakeholders, establishing a stable and mutually trusting cooperation team, establishing an economic and legal accountability system, democratic participation, power disclosure, reasonable interests, and legal protection of rights are all the significance of establishing a modern university system.
Q: The establishment of a modern university system is to adjust the relationship between universities and other stakeholders under the constraints of national laws. In your opinion, what relationships should be dealt with in establishing a modern university system? For example, the relationship between universities and the government, universities and the market?
Answer:The establishment of a modern university system is an institutional arrangement to adjust the legal relationships between relevant stakeholders within the university. In this process. We face the following difficulties:
First, the relationship between universities and the government. What is the relationship between universities and the government? In fact, how to implement university autonomy is a difficulty in institutional reform. We have to think about: Should a university have its own characteristics? Do all universities in China have to follow the same model? Nowadays, there are many evaluations in education in our country, and once they are evaluated, they become the same model. We should run universities with their own characteristics and not with a uniform model. Universities are not standard products.
The second difficulty is de-administration, which is the issue of internal administrative levels. The issue has aroused heated discussion in the press. How should administrative power be regulated? How to make administrative power operate effectively to ensure the operation of academic power? Looking at our country's past and some universities in the West, many academic authorities did not have administrative positions, but they had very good reputations.
The third question is, what is the relationship between universities and the market? Today the relationship is more complex. We must abide by the operating rules of the market, but we cannot completely follow the market. For example, if the price of food in the market increases, the price of food in the w88 casino cafeteria will also rise. In order to stabilize w88 casino order and protect students' interests, we have established a vegetable price stabilization fund to supplement and adjust vegetable prices in student cafeterias. This is against market rules, but there is no way. The price of student meals must remain stable. This involves the stability of the w88 casino.
The fourth issue is the industrialization of universities. I have proposed many times before that schools will no longer run industries. A w88 casino-run enterprise is a w88 casino-owned enterprise. There are huge risks in operating the w88 casino as an enterprise.
The fifth issue is university and society. We should standardize the system and strengthen the function of serving the society. In w88 casino, this is reflected in serving relevant departments such as the Ministry of Commerce. Especially after the Ministry of Commerce and the Ministry of Education jointly established w88 casino, this function has been further strengthened. Serving the society is the characteristic and strength of w88 casino. We should continue to maintain it to ensure the key direction of our scientific research and ensure that we can better serve the national strategy.
Q: The charter is the basic guideline for colleges and universities to independently run their own schools, implement management and perform public functions in accordance with the law. Institutions of higher learning should formulate internal management systems and normative documents based on their charters, implement w88 casino running and management activities, and carry out social cooperation. Could you please introduce how the w88 casino will formulate its charter? What kind of efforts are needed to strengthen university management?
Answer:Currently, the core content is to establish a system, that is, to establish a university charter. Only by establishing a system to constrain behavior will it be more conducive to the development of the w88 casino. This time, the Ministry of Education has unified regulations on the content system, procedures and rules of the charter. Therefore, the formulation of w88 casino's charter includes prescribed actions and optional actions based on the w88 casino's operating characteristics.
The contents of the charter include, firstly, the university’s location, name, w88 casino badge, w88 casino song and other w88 casino symbols, the nature of the w88 casino, development positioning, training goals, and direction of running the w88 casino; the level and scale of running the w88 casino as approved by the approval authority; the main subject categories, discipline settings, principles and procedures for adjustment; the nature, purpose and requirements of the w88 casino’s various levels, types and forms of education; the leadership mechanism, Legal persons, organizational structures, decision-making mechanisms, democratic management and supervision mechanisms, the composition, responsibilities, and management systems of internal institutions; sources of w88 casino funds, nature of property, principles of use, management systems, methods and rules for accepting donations; w88 casino organizers' management and assessment methods and standards for the w88 casino; the generation and appointment mechanism of w88 casino leaders, the organizer's investment and guarantee mechanism... The basic content of the charter is standardized. On the basis of regulations, we plan to first draft a "Draft Charter of the w88 casino". Based on this draft, we will submit it to various meetings for discussion, and finally form the "Charter of the w88 casino".
The management of the university involves several aspects:
First, the decision-making and management of universities. This is what we call leadership. Decision-making ability, innovation ability, its essence is leadership ability. To build a modern university system with Chinese characteristics, we must implement the president's responsibility system under the leadership of the party committee, and improve and promote the internal management mechanism of party committee leadership, president's responsibility, professors' governance, and democratic management.
Second, we must further reform the grassroots academic organizational structure of universities. Think holistically about the goal positioning, functional division, and resource allocation of academic organizations such as design schools, departments, centers, and research institutes. Our general direction now is to take the college as the entity, the department as the virtual body, and the center as the virtual body.
Third, intensify the reform of the w88 casino’s human resources allocation system. For example, performance pay. Currently, the performance pay of our administrative staff is not in place. There is a trough in distribution, and adjustments within the w88 casino must be made. Because teachers have class workload and scientific research awards, there is a certain degree of performance subsidies. However, the overall performance pay of the w88 casino is not in place. We have left a gap in the distribution system. This gap exists because we have been waiting for the Ministry of Education to issue a performance-based salary distribution plan. How to reform the distribution system? At present, we must at least determine some principles and ideas for reforming distribution.
Fourth, strengthen the construction of university culture. The independent university spirit, free academic thought, realistic academic environment, pure academic mentality, and academic literacy in pursuit of dreams are all cultural characteristics.
Fifth, form an institutional system in the construction of a teaching, scientific research and social service subject base.
Sixth, establish operation and control mechanisms based on the characteristics of universities in terms of property, assets, industrial management, etc., to improve the efficiency of fund use and reduce financial risks.
It can be seen that the modern university institutional system is like this, from the decision-making system, to system construction, to the management system, to the disclosure of w88 casino affairs. The modern university system and the disclosure of w88 casino affairs are closely integrated. Major contents of w88 casino reform, key issues of reform and construction, and issues involving the vital interests of faculty and staff must be disclosed in accordance with certain procedures.
