Recently, Shi Jianjun’s "Running Well - My Philosophy and Thoughts on Running a w88 casino" was published by w88 casino Press. So far, this person has served14Vice President of Nanjing UniversityManagementProfessor, he has been serving as president of the w88 casino for just one year. In the book, this new-generation university president in China, who served as the "shadow president" of the University of Sydney and La Trobe University, demonstrates his philosophy and spirit on higher education, as well as his thoughts on university discipline construction, teaching reform, scientific research construction, and even all aspects of university asset management, university financial management, and integrity mechanisms. He also accepted an exclusive interview with Reading News on the current sensitive issues of university administrativeization and academic evaluation systems.

A principal’s philosophy of running a w88 casino is the core value that leads the development of the w88 casino. For Shi Jianjun, what is the university culture he identifies with? "In a word, independent university spirit and free academic thought." In Shi Jianjun's view, university culture includes democratic culture, free culture, innovative culture and tolerance culture, especially the culture of toleranceXuProfessors think independently, express their academic opinions independently, and allow their thoughts to fly. This is the spirit and soul of the university. "We must dare to challenge power, dare not to believe in books, not only books, not only superiority, but only reality. These are the core values and philosophy system of the university."

Currently, the issue of university administration has attracted much public attention. In this regard, Shi Jianjun has a clear attitude: "It is a very sad thing for a famous professor to become the director of the department." Shi Jianjun believes that the subjectivity of academics should be restored and the traditional administrative way of allocating resources should be broken. The first thing he did when he arrived at the w88 casino was to reduce the proportion of deans in the university committee and increase the number of general通The proportion of professors, his goal is, the academic committee, degree committee, teaching committee, including various management committees, generalpassThe proportion of professors must reach1/2, let Pu通Professors have more say in teaching and scientific research, reducing the allocation of administrative resources by the administration. Now, at the w88 casino, the dean is not allowed to apply for on-campus results or on-campus projects. Shi Jianjun’s purpose is to allow more professors to participate, “must notCan makeProfessors are managed, but professors are served.

At present, domestic universities basically use scientific research performance as an important basis for teachers to be promoted to professional titles and obtain related benefits. It is now common to use the number of papers or the specifications of the journals in which they are published as the assessment criteria. Although the quantitative academic evaluation system has been widely criticized, the academic community has not yet come up with a better academic evaluation mechanism that can replace quantitative assessment. In this regard, Shi Jianjun believes that “this is a general and specific issue.” He gave examples, for example, someone may only write one article, but this article is a masterpiece handed down from generation to generation, an important innovation in scientific research, and may win the Nobel Prize; someone may write articles all his life, and even publish articles at a high level, but no one pays attention to him. Therefore, evaluation cannot be simply based on quantity and quality, but rather depends on the scholar’s ​​creative contribution in a subject and the invention of creative ideas.

Shi Jianjun said frankly that as a university president, as a manager, people and finance are all important factors in management. Generally speaking, "running the department to make money" is an important way for universities to obtain funds, but in his opinion, there are many ways for university presidents to raise funds. For example, they can obtain resources through cooperation with local enterprises and governments, make full use of the role of financial leverage within the w88 casino to improve their ability to generate revenue, and at the same time, increase their ability to obtain donations from the society through organizations such as alumni associations and foundations. Shi Jianjun jokingly said, "The president of a university is a person who holds a golden rice bowl and begs for food." While serving as the vice president of Nanjing University1413706_13731

However, "our social environment is now intolerant to educators, and educators are in a dilemma." Shi Jianjun believes that it is difficult to become an educator nowadays. "There are many people who criticize education, but they often use a few points to cover up the whole situation," and a relaxed social environment is the soil for the growth of educators.
