"New Beijing News" reported on August 20, recently, the Ministry of Education reiterates that the graduate admissions units will organize postgraduate counseling classes, strictly prohibit the propositions of the proposition staff to participate in the teaching of postgraduate counseling classes, etc. In the case of the administrative department, the judicial organ shall be punished and transferred to the judiciary. As an administrative and external constraint for the work of colleges and universities as an education authority, it is necessary. However, the author also asked questions, graduate recruitment as an university's right, what is it related to academic problems or administrative issues? In administrative
Do you still need more important academic autonomy? The postgraduate recruitment takes professional propositions by the enrollment unit, and the English listening is also responsible by the unit, giving the enrollment college greater rights. This is because graduate cultivation is characterized by stronger academic institutions than undergraduate students. The training of graduate students is mainly academic activities, reflecting academic levels and academic substances of a school, and can reflect academic style of scholars. Therefore, the graduate recruitment should be mainly responsible for professors and academics, only they can truly select talented with academic potential. In recent years, graduate education has won popular. Correspondingly, it has formed a quite spectacular postgraduate industry, which is blossomed by the original public class counseling class. It is also involved in the relevant professional classes. The reason is that the benefits, that is, tutors exchange the corresponding counseling fees with the academic selection rights you have mastered. However, the postgraduate exam is the academic ability and academic potential of students. This is a short-term counseling that can improve? The university in the modern sense originated from the European Middle Ages. At that time, some scholars from all over the world formed a "guild" and struggled with the religious forces of the outside world. In this process, gradually forming the right to relocate the freedom of relocation, establish special courts and internal autonomy, university teachers and students enjoy tax-free and exemption rights, teachers and students, and professor, the authorities, etc. By the early 19th century, the University of Berlin was developed into the "academic freedom" concept of "university independence and academic freedom", "scientific research is the main responsibility" as the core. Here, the university's academic freedom and academic rights are always in college pursuit of academics and the mission of the truth. In 1999, the autonomy of universities in my country was also determined by the "Higher Education Law". However, the implementation of universities self-sovereignty is not only in the continuous reduction in external constraints, but also in colleges and universities, academic responsibility and academic mission are really growing, only in this way can enjoy real academic freedom and academic rights as academic organizations. The postgraduate admissions unit holds the relevant activities of the postgraduate counseling class, the proposition personnel to participate in the teaching department of the postgraduate counseling class, and abandoned the real mission of the university, so that academic freedom and academic rights have been embarrassed and abuse, more importantly, the social environment is polluted. □ Pang Zhenchao (Xiamen University doctoral student)
