"I'll bring a quilt to the child, and I'll come out as soon as I get in. ”
That's not okay, without a reservation in advance, cars and people can't enter. ”
On December 8, when Liu Qian was on a business trip to Qingdao to visit her son, she had a closed door at the security guard at the gate of Qingdao University of Technology. In the end, she could only ask her son to scan the code to rent an electric bicycle and bring the winter quilt and food he brought back to the dormitory.
Before the epidemic, except for a few prestigious universities that were open by appointment in advance, the vast majority of colleges and universities were completely open. At present, some have quietly opened a crack, and most colleges and universities are still continuing the management policies during the epidemic. When will the university doors be "opened" again?This topic has frequently sparked heated discussions.
The access control system installed during the epidemic is still in use".
According to a survey of 1,001 respondents released by China Youth Daily, more than ninety percent of respondents, whether students or citizens, support the opening of universities to the public. In July this year, the Ministry of Education also issued a notice to encourage colleges and universities, high-tech enterprises, manufacturing enterprises, etc. to open their doors to the public and take the initiative to serve the whole people's learning.
Most colleges and universities are not allowed to enter and exit at will.
A few days ago, the reporter visited nearly ten colleges and universities in Shandong and found that none of them were clearly open to the public, and most of them used face-brushing, card-swiping, registration and other ways to enter and exit.
At around 14 o'clock on December 11, at the north gate of the Qianfoshan Campus of Shandong Normal University, close to class time, the amount of entry and exit is large, and the access control system needs to be used when people enter and exit. "This access control system was installed during the epidemic and has been used until now. The security guard told reporters.
The school gate of Shandong University of the Arts is also a face-brushing pass. The delivery cart can be directly entered, and the takeaway needs to be placed on the window sill of the guard room for students to pick up by themselves. "If there are parents who need to enter the school, they can report to the doorman and they can enter. Liu Jian, a security guard of Shandong Academy of Arts, said that if there are relatives and friends in the family courtyard who need to visit the door, the family can go directly to the school gate to receive it, or they can explain the situation to the doorman through **. Alumni who need to enter the campus to deal with problems can also report to the guard office and enter.
Shandong University of Science and Technology, located in Qingdao West Coast New Area, students and faculty members also need to brush their faces when entering and exiting, and social personnel are not allowed to enter and exit at will.
Some universities have significantly loosened their controls.
However, even with closed management, some colleges and universities have significantly loosened their control over school gates. Although some colleges and universities have not achieved free access, they are no longer "locked".
If anyone else wants to enter the school, they can follow the student in, and the security guard will not care. Zhang Yi, a student at the Daizong Campus of Shandong Agricultural University, said. In addition, the WeChat of Shandong Agricultural University also launched an appointment system on October 23 this year.
There are turnstiles on the left and right sides of the gate of the Sifang Campus of Qingdao University of Science and Technology, and you must brush your face when you enter and exit. On the afternoon of December 10, when the reporter asked the security guard if he could enter the campus as a family visitor, the other party said, "Let the students come out to pick you up." ”
At Qingdao University's Fushan Campus, one of the pedestrian gates on the right is always open, and although there are security guards next to it, most students enter and exit through this gate, eliminating the need to brush their faces. The reporter also passed through this gate and successfully entered the campus. "It's not very strict now, people from outside the school can follow the students in, and they can also drive in. A student told reporters.
A gate at Qingdao University is open for pedestrians.
A security guard confirmed the claim that you can drive into the school, "You go in and find out who is here to register, and when the car drives in, you will be charged according to the length of parking when you come out." The reporter noticed that on the table next to the roadway gate, there was a registration book for entering the school, and visitors needed to fill in basic information such as name, ID number, and **.
According to the Ocean University of China Alumni Association***, the school opened the permission for alumni to enter and leave the campus without an appointment in March this year. But for members of society, it is not completely liberalized. On the afternoon of December 10, at the Laoshan Campus of Ocean University of China, a citizen with a child walked to the security office on duty and asked if he could enter the school to have a look, the security guard was noncommittal, and the two then walked in bypassing the turnstile where they brushed their faces.
I just asked the doorman a few days ago, and he said that people from outside the school can enter if they are picked up by school students, and the same is true for social vehicles. Zhao Xue, a fourth-year student at the school, said that her classmates brought her mother to the school in this way a few days ago.
Compared with the other universities mentioned above, the door of Shandong University of Finance and Economics has been "opened" to a large extent. The reporter found in the Shungeng Campus of Shandong University of Finance and Economics that in addition to students, faculty and staff can enter the school through face recognition, social personnel can also enter the school by swiping their ID cards with face recognition, so as to register the information of social personnel entering the school. The reporter called the campus security management office of Shungeng Campus of Shandong University of Finance and Economics (campus 110), and the staff told the reporter that the Shungeng Campus of Shancai has not yet been explicitly required to be fully opened, but if social personnel want to enter the school, they can swipe their ID cards.
Controls have made the campus safer."
Over time, colleges and universities that did not "open" their doors came under pressure from the public.
Indeed, some citizens expressed their hope that the campus would open through 12345** or at the school gate in person. Liu Jian said that since the end of 2022, they have received seven or eight 12,345 complaints**, most of which are for physical exercise, such as the school's playground and basketball court. "But at present, the state only advocates that schools be open to the public, and there is no document that stipulates that schools must be open, and schools need to decide whether to open according to their own circumstances. ”
Liu Jian believes that universities also have a wait-and-see mentality on whether to reopen their gates. The schools on Wenhua East Road include Shandong Normal University, Shandong Art College, Shandong Police College, etc., which are basically the same. "If one school opens, other schools may consider opening their doors, and everybody is waiting. He said.
Personally, he prefers to maintain the current management model. "At present, there are more than 20 Shanyi doormen, which is a third more than before (the epidemic). Although it has increased the workload of the gate security management, the campus is safer for the students. In the past, when it was completely opened, there were also cases of people entering the campus and fighting with their classmates. ”
Teacher Huang of Shandong Normal University believes that it is more convenient to enter the school now, and the personnel in the school can brush their faces, and the personnel outside the school can directly contact the relevant personnel in the school to enter if they have something. "The campus should be orderly, and the students should have a good learning environment, this is not a park after all, and the school should be responsible for the students after all. ”
Some students also complained on the Internet that people from outside the school will eat on campus, which will cause students to queue for meals for a longer time;Too many people outside the campus will disrupt the normal order of the campus, etc.
A student at Shandong University of Finance and Economics' Shungeng Campus said it was acceptable to open the campus. "Elderly people or children used to play in the playground and not in the teaching area and dormitory area, so going to school during non-study hours did not affect us much. ”
The public value of the university should be considered.
It's not that as soon as the door closes, there's nothing left. Yuan Fazhou, deputy editor of the People's Fine Arts Publishing House and researcher at Beijing Normal University, said that although closure can reduce risks and improve campus safety, it is not conducive to scientific research and teaching, cultural exchanges and resource sharing without considering its public attributes and public value, and is contrary to the open and inclusive spirit of the university.
Li Zhi, an associate professor at Peking University, said on Zhihu that the university is a public institution and a university for the public, not just a university for students, let alone a university for school management. There is hardly a well-known university in a foreign country that is surrounded by a high-walled compound. Most of the schools are open-plan and integrated into the community, and visitors can wander around the "campus" as they please. Many people who defend the closed management of university campuses always use "campus safety" as an excuse. It's as if the school gate is open and you can enter and exit at will, and there will be countless "bad guys" entering the campus to wreak havoc. In fact, our society is generally very safe, and the real bad guys are only a very few. The overall rate of crime and crime in society, as well as the social security situation, are not necessarily worse than those of campuses with only students. With the campus open, there may be more disputes between "outsiders" and students, but as long as the security forces are placed more on the campus, rather than at the school gate as they are now, these disputes can also be detected and stopped in time.
Wang Yong, a citizen of Qingdao, also said that it was difficult to understand: "Isn't this a waste of resources?"”
As an athlete, he has been in the habit of running 150 to 200 kilometers a week for many years. "Before the pandemic, I used to go for a run on the university playground, and I could go after work at any time, which was very convenient. Wang Yong recalled the previous scene with emotion, "After work, many residents around the area went to the playground to play, running, kicking football, and walking, which was very lively, and it did not affect the students' learning." ”
The discussion of whether the university gate is open or not also made Xiao Yang, a first-year student at ** University for Nationalities, rethink the meaning of university. "The origin of the modern university includes the values of openness, openness, and sharing. Openness is the difference between universities and primary and secondary schools, and many people's concepts of openness and equality were also established during the university years. ”
Yuan Fazhou expressed the same opinion. "If the doors of a university are closed, it is difficult to imagine that its mind is open and inclusive, so it is necessary to open not only the door of physics, but also the door of the heart. ”
Xiao Yang also had this problem with his classmates. "I'm glad that my classmates think 'a good university has no walls'. She often talked about the "free time" she had enjoyed for more than half a year during her undergraduate years, when the doors of the school were open, and they often went to other schools to skip classes and meals, and had a lot of exchanges with students from other universities.
Gao Cunling, an associate professor at the School of Literature, Journalism and Communication at Qingdao University, is a beneficiary of the "skipping classes" on university campuses. More than a decade ago, he was also working as an editor at a newspaper. At that time, I felt a lack of knowledge and ability, so I went to audit the news editing class of Qingdao University's journalism major, and benefited a lot. He said that openness should be the natural attitude of universities, and only by facing the society with an open and inclusive attitude can universities give greater play to their own value.
Ma Junle, an assistant researcher at the Institute of Population and Social Development of the Shandong Academy of Social Sciences, has been concerned about the discussion for a long time, and he believes that whether the university gates should be reopened, whether it is the competent authorities, experts and scholars, or the general public, there is a certain social consensus - no matter for the public attributes, social service functions, inclusive ideological orientation and other aspects of the university, the university gate should be open to the society. "Before the epidemic, except for a few prestigious universities that needed to make an appointment in advance, most universities in China were completely open. Therefore, the reason for not opening up after the epidemic is untenable. He said.
The "opening" of the school gate still needs to be finely managed.
The doors of universities should be "opened", and how to solve the security and order problems that everyone is worried about has become a governance examination question in front of university administrators, which tests the management ability and level of colleges and universities.
Opening the doors will undoubtedly increase the cost of management, but it is worth the cost of opening the doors to the public and to the university itself. Gao Cunling said. At the same time, he believes that the school gate is always open, and the support and care of the whole society is needed. People can walk into the campus, but they can't interfere with teaching and research.
Li Zhi believes that the opening of university campuses should also untie the responsibilities of universities. After the campus is opened, the school security department and the territory can jointly maintain campus order and security, if there is a major case or dispute, it should be handed over to the ** to solve, and the university should not be blamed. The responsibility of schools is reduced, and the willingness to open up will be greater.
In the ongoing debate over whether the doors of colleges and universities should be open, Ma Junle keenly captures a peculiar, overlooked emotion. "This is the 'sequelae' brought about by the epidemic, which is reflected in many aspects such as people's psychology and university governance. For example, people will place more emphasis on education, more demand for fairness and justice, and more value free movement. At the same time, colleges and universities have also put campus safety in a more important position and tended to be conservative. Based on the above reasons, he believes that we cannot expect the competent authorities to make a 360-degree turn or a 360-degree turn in colleges and universities, but to adopt various forms of gradual and orderly opening up and refined management according to their own actual conditions to meet the needs of society.
