In order to ensure the safety of the campus and the protection of educational resources, many colleges and universities have adopted access control systems for management. However, the access control system also caused some inconvenience to teachers, students and visitors, especially during the busy morning and evening rush hours. Recently, Peking University's access control system caused another sensation, an associate professor in order to avoid the cumbersome face-brushing procedure, even desperately hurdled in and out of the school gate, and was chased by a security guard on a bicycle.
At Peking University, everyone entering and exiting the campus needs to go through the face authentication of the access control system. Although it only takes a dozen seconds for each person to complete, during the morning and evening rush hours, there is often a long queue at the school gate, which consumes a lot of time. Moreover, not all faculty and staff have facial recognition permissions, and they can only enter the school gate by showing their work ID, which is even more time-consuming.
For the faculty and students of Peking University, time is particularly precious. They don't want to wait in line for a seat every day, and sometimes they even stand in the canteen with a plate in their hands and then immediately go to work. How can you make them willing to take the time to queue up to get into the school?Associate Professor Li Zhi has stepped over the railing of the turnstile many times and entered the school directly. Since he was in and out frequently, the guards knew his identity, so they would not stop him.
Recently, however, a security guard who didn't know his identity appeared, and when he saw Lee Sik crossing the hurdle into the school gate, he was shocked and chased him around the campus for a long time. When he found that Professor Li could not catch up after running, he rode his bicycle again and continued to chase until he saw Professor Li showing his work card, and did not stop the chase. When he left the school after school, the security guard stopped Professor Li again and asked him to scan his face for authentication, but Professor Li did not have facial recognition permission, so the two sides had an argument. In the end, Professor Li reluctantly chose to leave the school again.
In the context of closed management, many universities have implemented a strict access control system to ensure the protection of educational resources on campus and the safety of teachers and students. However, this system also brings certain inconveniences to teachers, students and visitors. Especially during the epidemic, many schools were closed to the outside world, and students and parents from other places were unable to visit prestigious schools. Even after the lockdown was lifted, there were still many people who were unable to enter the campus because they did not have an appointment place.
The existence of the access control system has seriously affected the quality of social services in colleges and universities, and has also brought great inconvenience to teachers and students. As one of the top universities in China, Peking University's access control system has some problems in actual operation. The access control system, which was originally designed to improve management efficiency and ensure campus security, caused a long queue at the school gate. Moreover, not all faculty and staff have access to facial recognition, and they will also need to show their work ID to enter the school.
This strict access control system has affected the openness of the university to a certain extent. As Associate Professor Li Zhi pointed out, universities should be inclusive and open, rather than treating campuses as forbidden places. Many of the world's leading universities are not walled, and although outsiders are not allowed to enter at will, it is allowed to visit the campus and soak up the atmosphere. However, most schools in the country allowed outsiders to visit before the lockdown, and food delivery and couriers were allowed to enter and leave the school freely, providing convenience for teachers and students. In the wake of the lockdown, schools seem to be aware of the advantages of lockdown, believing that it would reduce trouble and ensure the safety of students.
However, as public higher education institutions, universities not only have the responsibility of education and scientific research, but also should assume certain social responsibilities. Green spaces and sports fields on campus should be open to the public for leisure and exercise, and this does not pose a threat to the safety of students. Of course, during special times, such as the outbreak of the pandemic, it is understandable to keep the school doors closed to ensure the health and safety of teachers and students. However, in the current situation, there is no need for universities to continue to adopt a closed management approach.
In order to ensure that the study and Xi life of university students are not disturbed, the university can strengthen the security policy of teaching buildings, libraries and dormitories, and only allow teachers and students to enter. Outside traffic can be restricted on campus, but for visitors on foot, there is no need to stop as long as the rules are followed. Parents who come to visit students should also be allowed to visit the school, which is a reasonable request.
The current access control system is not the best move, and university campuses should remain open-minded. Public universities are built with financial investment and should also give back to society, and green spaces and sports fields on campus should be completely open. Of course, this does not mean that certain security measures are not taken, but doing so does not pose a threat to the safety of students.
The opening of university campuses is very important to improve the overall quality of students and enhance their ability to participate in society. By visiting prestigious schools and feeling the campus atmosphere, students can better understand the meaning and goals of academic Xi, and stimulate the motivation of academic Xi. In addition, the opening of the campus to the outside world can also promote academic exchanges and cooperation, and attract more outstanding teachers and students to the campus.
For external visitors, visiting a university campus can increase their knowledge and awareness of education and provide them with a reference for choosing a school. In addition, an open campus can also provide a place for leisure and recreation, providing a place for the public to relax and enjoy the scenery.
For society, the opening of university campuses is also of great significance. University campuses are often urban green spaces and are a valuable resource in urban spaces. By opening up the campus, it can provide citizens with a harmonious and pleasant environment and increase the cultural atmosphere of the city. In addition, the university campus is also an important part of the city's culture, and by visiting the campus, citizens can better understand the university's philosophy and development history, and strengthen their sense of identity and support for education.
In today's society, people's demand for higher education is getting higher and higher, and their curiosity and yearning for prestigious universities are also getting stronger and stronger. The opening of university campuses to the outside world can meet this demand of people, expand the influence of education, and cultivate more talents for the development of society.
To sum up, the opening of university campuses to the outside world is of great significance and value to students, visitors and the general public. By improving the access control system and opening up the campus, we can break the barriers of closed management, realize the openness of colleges and universities, and provide people with a better learning, Xi, working and living environment.
