Recently, Li Zhi, an associate professor at Peking University's School of Engineering, sparked widespread discussion on the Internet for his behavior of entering and exiting Peking University Gate for "hurdles". The incident sparked a heated debate about whether university campuses should be open to the public. In an article published on Zhihu, Associate Professor Li Zhi mentioned that because Peking University's current gate management system requires face verification, he did not authorize the school to use his facial recognition information, so he often chose to step directly over the gate railing to save time. This situation has also raised concerns about the management model of university campuses.
There are two levels of public opinion about how open university campuses are. One is that universities should allow people from outside the university to make appointments to visit the campusThe second is to advocate that universities should be completely open and can freely enter the campus without checking documents. Associate Professor Li Zhi's view is leaning towards the latter, and even though he himself has a work permit, he still wants to enter the university without having to undergo facial recognition or check ID documents.
This view has aroused widespread concern in society. Proponents argue that university campuses should be fully open to the public, while opponents worry that this will affect the normal order of teaching and learning at the university and pose a safety hazard. There is no standard answer to how the university should open up to the public, and it is necessary to formulate an opening plan suitable for the university based on the actual situation of the university and on the basis of listening to the opinions of teachers, students and community residents.
For example, for schools located in downtown areas with tight resources, an appointment system can be implemented to control school admission**;For universities located in the suburbs and with open campuses, a more liberal opening policy can be implemented. In addition, universities can also implement different degrees of opening up to different regions according to their teaching and research functions, so as to ensure that the academic Xi and life of teachers and students are not affected.
In conclusion, the opening of university campuses involves the modern governance of schools. Schools should improve their modern governance capabilities, balance the relationship between openness and safety management, and do a good job in post-opening management and teacher and student services, so as to reduce the heated discussion caused by such incidents to the society. Through refined management and services, universities can find a balance between openness, safety and order, and promote harmonious coexistence between universities and society.
