Peking University Gate Control Tragicomedy The associate professor crossed the door and was chased by the security guard
Peking University's access control system led to the absurd scene of an associate professor being chased by security guards because of the access control system. The incident occurred at Peking University, where Li Zhi, an associate professor, published an article mentioning the inconvenience caused by the school's access control system to faculty and staff. It is understood that the access control system of Peking University uses face recognition technology, and it only takes more than ten seconds for each person to pass, but during the peak period, there is still a long queue at the school gate, which causes a lot of time waste to teachers and students. What's more, not all faculty and staff have access to the facial recognition system, and they can only enter the campus by showing their work ID. For teachers and students whose time is precious, queuing up to enter the campus gate like this is undoubtedly a waste of precious time. Therefore, in a hurry, Professor Li crossed the school gate checkpoint to enter the campus many times, because the school gate security guard knew his identity and did not stop him. Recently, however, a security guard was surprised to see Professor Li cross the fence and enter the campus, chasing him all over the campus. Although the security guard did not catch up with Professor Li who was running, he grabbed Professor Li's bicycle and continued to chase until he saw Professor Li showing his work card. At the end of the school day, the security guard stopped Professor Li again and asked him to perform facial recognition, but because he did not have the corresponding authority, an argument broke out between the two parties, and finally Professor Li had to run out of the school gate again. Professor Li believes that such a strict management system has caused great inconvenience to teachers and students, not only wasting time, but also forcing the janitors to work too hard.
Universities should be inclusive, and campuses should not be seen as attractions.
Professor Li Shi is a senior associate professor who has worked at Peking University for 24 years. After completing his bachelor's, master's and doctoral degrees at Moscow State University, he joined Peking University as a professor. Although he is no longer young, it is actually a bit unseemly for him to go in and out of the university every day. In his view, an excellent university should be inclusive, inclusive, and broad-minded. Many well-known universities in the world are not closed, and although you can't enjoy the educational resources of the school at will, you can at least visit the campus environment. On the other hand, in China, the implementation of the closed management policy makes it impossible for outsiders to visit most schools, and even some parents who come to visit their children cannot enter the school. In fact, this kind of regulation is unreasonable.
The opening of the university must be managed within its boundaries.
Professor Liu Rongmou believes that public universities are built with financial resources and must fully give back to society. For example, the green belt and sports venues on campus should be public places that provide services and fun to the whole society. While the absence of walls may pose some risks, it is far from a threat to the safety of students. Therefore, the campus opening policy can be flexibly managed according to the current situation. It's understandable to keep campus doors closed during special times, but universities no longer need such restrictions. Campus safety can be ensured by strengthening security policies in academic buildings, libraries, and residence halls by prohibiting non-students and university professors from entering. For tourists visiting on foot, there is no need to stop them as long as they keep their promises.
Conclusion. Whether college campuses should be open to the public is an issue that needs to be discussed. The implementation of closed management ensures the safety of students and the stability of the learning environment to a certain extent, but it also restricts the communication and interaction between the university and the society. As a temple of knowledge, the campus should be open and inclusive, so that more people have the opportunity to visit. Therefore, the access control system of colleges and universities must be appropriately open and managed according to the actual situation and security needs, so as to strengthen the security of the campus while providing convenience for teachers and students on campus. Only on the basis of openness and security can colleges and universities better fulfill their mission of education and social services.
