Chapter 201 University rankings plummet, education reform begins
Starting from the end of March, the temporary campus of Star University was in a busy situation.
Under the auspices of the experienced Principal Raphael, all preparations were carried out in an orderly manner.
The Eye of the Sky once again exerted its extraordinary ability, a super database that controls the privacy of most people in the world, has found the most suitable candidate from countless universities around the world.
All those who can enter Star University as management have an important characteristic, that is, they will not have prejudice or hostility towards China.
This is very important. Although Luo Jia found an international elite intellectual like Raphael as the principal, Luo Jia was actually very terrified. Xingchen University must serve China. Raphael, the great god, was placed on the table for outsiders to see.
Therefore, the staff of Xingchen University must be loyal to this land. Even if you are not so loyal, you must not be stingy.
Their second characteristic is their strong connections.
As a university, connections are very important. Luo Jia hopes that the students can explore and learn from all over the world. This will inevitably lead to cooperation with many universities or research institutions around the world. Without enough connections, such a goal will be difficult to achieve.
Their third characteristic is that they are experienced.
From registration, to dormitory allocation, to course arrangement, to organization of activities on and off campus, students need rich educational experience to be competent. A perfect university, in addition to a strong educational team, a strong logistics support team is also essential.
Luo Jia goes for a walk to Xingchen University almost every day, witnessing the changes of this university with infinite expectations every day.
At the entrance of the teaching building, Luo Jia met Qi Mengzhou. She now has a new position, assistant to the principal, assisting President Raphael to make Xingchen University regular and professional as soon as possible.
Qi Mengzhou was wearing a black career suit, holding a tablet computer in his arms, checking the list on the computer, and the library purchased a large number of books, not only in Chinese versions, but also in English originals.
Qi Mengzhou was using a phone call to negotiate with British book suppliers. The books they had transported from air were missing hundreds of books. She was furious about this and criticized the suppliers.
"These British people are terrible inefficiency. If they were in our country, such inefficient businesses would have been eliminated long ago." Qi Mengzhou muttered.
Luo Jia smiled and said nothing. The two walked into the teaching building.
After renovating, the original shopping mall became a school, and the huge central atrium was preserved, but it was originally a music fountain, but Luo Jia turned it into a huge Transformer twelve meters high. From the perspective, it was still a strong straight male style.
"After all, this place was originally a shopping mall. In addition to the main building, there are three auxiliary buildings connected to each other. If you don't use an electric balance bike, running around in such a large space would be exhausting." Qi Mengzhou stepped on an electric balance bike and waved at Luo Jia calmly.
Luo Jia watched Qi Mengzhou leave and took the elevator to Principal Raphael's office. Several employees held documents and were waiting for his signature.
Principal Raphael carefully reviewed the form and confirmed it correctly before signing his name on it.
There are people coming in and out of the office, holding all kinds of documents.
There was actually no special reason for Luo Jia to come here. Seeing that Raphael was very busy, he got up and greeted him, turned around and left, walked back to the company, and lowered his head to think while walking.
Something interesting happened recently. The new ranking of the top 100 universities in the world has been released. What is surprising is that Tsinghua and Peking University, the two universities on the list in China, plummeted, from the middle and upper levels, fell to the bottom of the list.
At the same time, 51 universities in North America were on the list, occupying half of the top 100 universities in the world.
It's really tragic. The number of universities on the list in China was pitifully small, but now it has been completely crushed by North America.
This incident caused a lot of storm in the Chinese education industry, and it was like a wake-up call, which hit the education colleagues very hard.
But Luo Jia felt that it was not a bad thing. The education industry carried out a major purge because of Xingchen Technology's academic counterfeiting, and countless experts and professors were dismissed. Younger and more motivated teachers and professors replaced the black sheep in the past and walked onto a broad stage.
They were holding on to a great deal and showing their talents.
At this time, the suppression of European and American academic hegemony will not discourage them, but will only make them want to fight back.
The Chinese education industry is too miserable, and it has reached a point where we can no longer lose. It is a huge country with a population of 1.3 billion, but it does not have its own first-class international university. It is really embarrassing to say it out. We are still known as the most popular nation on earth that advocates education.
Before he knew it, he returned to the company. Luo Jia originally planned to go back to the office and continue to develop the tormenting multi-link system, but he suddenly felt a little hungry and went straight to the cafeteria.
Li Moran was eating in the corner while sliding the phone screen with his fingers. When he saw Luo Jia, he waved to him from afar.
Luo Jia nodded, took some food at the window, and sat down next to him. Just as he was about to ask about the recent situation of the software department, Li Moran said to Luo Jia with a little excitement, "The education department is going to take serious action."
After saying that, he gave Luo Jia his cell phone and asked him to read a piece of news.
Simply put, the content of this news is that universities are about to reform.
The specific steps of reform are very complex and can be summarized into the following items.
1. Abolish the past system of determining positions based on the number of papers.
2. Abolish the administrative level of management to make universities more professional and purified.
3. Reform the student union system to prevent the bureaucratic student organization.
4. Reform the scientific research fund issuance system to avoid excessive leadership power
Luo Jia looked at the things quickly. He glanced a few times and finished reading the entire article. Then he smiled and said to Li Moran, "It seems that the successive knocks on the slap have made the education department red-eyed. Behind these reform measures, there are obviously experts taking action."
"Actually, I have heard the news from Professor Ouyang. First, we launched an academic counterfeiting campaign, which made all universities embarrassed and humiliated them. Then, European and American academic hegemony stabbed them again, greatly reducing the global rankings of Tsinghua University and Peking University."
"You know, in this part of our country, Tsinghua University and Peking University are face-to-face, but now their faces are swollen. If you are the leader of the Ministry of Education, you will be crazy."
"But I am very happy that this time, Europe and the United States have actually helped us a favor. People are lazy and not forced to do so, it is difficult to see such a resolute and powerful reform in universities."
"After all, the iron must be strong himself. Europe and the United States dare to significantly reduce the ranking of Tsinghua and Peking University, but there is only one reason, that is, their foundation is not strong enough."
Luo Jia is the key to the problem. No one dares to bully a person who is truly powerful. Instead of blaming others, it is better to practice internal strength.
Li Moran thought for a while, "Then do you think this university reform will be successful?"
Luo Jia ate two bites of fried pork with green pepper and wiped her mouth with a napkin. "It should be a bit hopeful. The root cause of university bureaucracy is that resources and funds are controlled by leaders. If teachers want to do something, they need resources and funds and must report to the leaders."
"In many important academic conferences, leaders will let them go as they want. In this way, they will definitely take care of those who flatter themselves or those who prefer to see them. In this way, it will become a vicious cycle. The villain who flatters the leader will become more and more powerful in college."
"The student union is also a counselor and secretary. They have the right to support the events you hold and also have the right to deny your activities. If you don't know how to do anything, why should people support you?"
"So, the key to not running a university well is bureaucracy, and the reason for bureaucracy is too high power."
"I think these reform plans are quite good, they are all aimed at the bureaucracy of universities. Of course, the specific implementation is another matter. We just need to do our own things well and don't need to worry about anything else."
"As the enrollment work in China comes to an end, starting this month, our larger global enrollment will also officially start. As long as we can firmly control the geniuses of the world in our hands, let them play with this so-called university rankings."
"Europe and the United States want beautiful rankings, no problem, just give them it!"
