Recently, Li Zhi, an associate professor at the School of Engineering of Peking University, has been on the hot search, triggering a discussion among people from all walks of life about whether colleges and universities should be open to the society.
Professor Li Zhi posted on the Internet that because he did not authorize the school to use his facial information, he needed to show his ID to the security guard every time he entered and exited the school gate, and registered before entering and exiting, which caused great inconvenience to himself. Because he often enters and exits the school gate and is very familiar with the security guards, in order to reduce the time consumption of inspections, he often crosses the turnstile to enter and exit after showing his certificate, and the security guards generally do not interfere.
But once after he crossed the hurdle to enter the school, he was stopped by the security guards, and because he was in a hurry, he didn't explain and ran directly. The security guard couldn't outrun him, so he rode his bicycle and caught up with him, and didn't let him go until he saw his documents. Li said that Peking University was open to the outside world until 2008, but later strengthened management and closed the school. He suggested that colleges and universities should remove the turnstiles and enter and leave the campus freely.
Peking University is currently open to the public only on weekends and public holidays, and reservations are required in advance. However, the society is eager for colleges and universities like Qingbei, and it is even more difficult to find a ticket every summer. Some people even spent 10,000 yuan and failed to enter the school, which shows that everyone has an urgent need to enter the university and witness the ivory tower in their hearts.
The hurdle entry of this somewhat cute professor into the school has sparked discussion from all walks of life. Most people believe that colleges and universities, as public instruments of society, should be open to the society and spread the high-quality resources of colleges and universities to more people. The investment in the construction of the university comes from the society, and it should be taken from the people for the people, so that more people who want to enter the university can enter and exit freely.
Once upon a time, our universities were open to the public. Even foreign vehicles are unimpeded, schools and society are integrated, and visiting local famous schools in each city is also part of many people's itinerary plans.
But then, some universities, out of consideration in all respects, began to close their doors. Under such an exemplary role, many colleges and universities slowly followed suit, and university closure became the mainstream. The three-year epidemic has made the closure of universities a necessity.
Once the doors of colleges and universities are closed, it is much harder to open. Especially in the current society, there is a general mentality of safety, and closing the school gate is a good way to do it once and for all. The increase in the number of people in the community will inevitably lead to an increase in the cost of school maintenance, so since everyone is closed, no one is willing to pay the price for opening up.
In mid-November this year, Zhengzhou University issued a notice that the university resumed opening to the outside world, becoming one of the first universities to take the initiative to open to the outside world, which was unanimously praised by the society.
The opening of colleges and universities to the outside world is the international mainstream, and the classrooms of many well-known universities can even be opened to the outside world. University students also need to integrate into society, and the high-quality resources of colleges and universities should serve more people who are eager for knowledge, which should be the consensus of society.
Of course, the full opening of the school will also have a certain impact, and the school can also delineate the appropriate area and restrict the means of transportation without affecting the normal teaching, so as to achieve the greatest degree of harmonious coexistence. Openness is the trend, and we cannot turn back the wheel of history.
Now that the epidemic has passed, the call for an open society is high, and the opening of the school door shows the school pattern. Openness and inclusiveness should be part of the culture of universities, and it is recommended that more universities should respond to the call of society and open their doors to share their resources.
