Associate Professor, Peking University"Break through the fence"The incident of entering the school gate has aroused widespread attention and discussion. This absurd chase incident originated from Peking University's access control system, and faculty and staff need to pass through the facial recognition system to enter and exit the campus, resulting in wasted time and inconvenience. Associate Professor Lee Sik was chased by security guards after entering the campus over the hurdle, a scene that sparked thinking about the university's access control system. Against this backdrop, we will ** whether college campuses should be closed and its pros and cons.
Associate Professor, Peking University"Break through the fence"The incident aroused the attention of Tsinghua professors. According to the news, the access control system of Peking University has been changed: faculty and staff no longer need to brush their faces when they drive into the school and walk out of the school, but they still need to brush their faces when walking into the school. These small changes may be a better step than no change, and if it doesn't cause much buzz, it's still an improvement over what has been done in the past. Tsinghua professors expressed their expectation that Peking University will continue to be free, open, inclusive, and leading, rather than closing itself off.
From this change, we can see that Peking University has adjusted the access control system, trying to provide more convenient access methods on the premise of ensuring safety. There is a trade-off between closure and openness, in order to protect the learning atmosphere and safety of students.
There has been an ongoing debate about whether universities should be locked down. On the one hand, there have been no major problems in opening university campuses to the outside world in the past, and many people just enter to feel the learning atmosphere. However, many people's motives for entering university campuses are not pure, and some outsiders even use university campuses as traffic**, which has a certain impact on students' learning. Therefore, maintaining the learning atmosphere and reducing the entry and exit of outsiders are important considerations for closed management.
On the other hand, the closed management has brought certain troubles to the entry and exit of teachers and students. Most schools have an access control system in place, and you need to swipe your card or face to enter. This undoubtedly increases the waiting time and barriers to entry for students. Especially for those faculty and staff who do not have facial recognition permissions, they need to show proof of work frequently, which delays time and energy.
However, closure management also has its positive side. Closed management can ensure the safety of students and prevent interference and infringement from the outside world. In the early years, there were incidents of outsiders entering the campus and beating students on some university campuses, and the closed management helped to reduce the occurrence of such incidents and protect the safety of students.
In my opinion, whether or not a university campus is closed should be weighed on a case-by-case basis. Closed management helps to protect the safety and learning environment of students and reduces the disruption of the school by outsiders. However, there is also a need to consider the convenience of faculty and staff and the value of an open campus.
If the campus is completely closed, it may limit students' tentacles and mental growth, hindering their communication and integration with society, which is detrimental to the development of students. Therefore, under the premise of sound safety measures, the campus can be appropriately opened to accept outsiders and create a diverse learning and thinking environment.
The core goal of closure management should be to ensure the safety of students and the effective maintenance of the learning environment. On this basis, schools can take some measures to balance the relationship between openness and management, such as strengthening campus security, improving access control systems to improve efficiency, encouraging teachers and students to participate in campus management, and forming a campus culture of co-governance and sharing.
Summary: The trade-off between closed management and openness is one of the difficult problems in university campus management. Given the importance of campus safety and the learning environment for students, closure management has a positive impact on ensuring student safety. However, consideration should also be given to the role of openness in promoting students and the diversity of campus cultures. Therefore, whether a university campus is closed or not should be considered comprehensively according to the specific situation, and strive to find a balance between safety and openness, so as to create a safe, harmonious and open campus environment.
