Recently, Professor Xue Peng of the Beijing Computational Science Research Center has attracted widespread attention. As a doctoral supervisor and professor of the center, Professor Xue Peng was unable to see her name after the announcement of the new round of doctoral supervisor list, which caused her confusion and incomprehension. She posted a ** on the Internet, expressing her demands and concerns. However, the center responded and said that Professor Xue Peng had submitted his resignation and would leave in a few months. As a result, Professor Xue Peng issued another article to refute the center's statement and confirmed that he had submitted a resignation application, but the center did not agree and did not complete the resignation procedures. The center said that agreeing to Professor Xue Peng's resignation required her to give up the title of Outstanding Young Scholar, which was unreasonable. The conflict of interests between the two sides has caused widespread heated discussions about this incident. In the process of digging deeper into the incident, we found that Professor Xue Peng wanted to move to Southeast University to teach, and the center did not want her to leave again, so the breakdown of negotiations led to a further escalation of the incident. While people are paying attention to this incident, they are also beginning to think about the law of talent flow and competition between universities.
First, let's review Professor Xue Peng's resignation and the Center's response. Professor Xue Peng submitted his resignation in July last year, hoping to leave in three months. However, in order to protect the rights and interests of new students, the center suspended Professor Xue Peng's doctoral enrollment in August. As a result, Professor Xue Peng disagreed with the center's response and believed that it was an unreasonable condition for the center to ask her to give up the title of Outstanding Young Person. At the same time, she consulted with a number of experts, who also questioned the center's approach. In order to reach a compromise between the two parties, Professor Xue Peng proposed to stay at the center and complete the Outstanding Youth Project, but was rejected. As a result, her doctoral enrollment was cancelled, and several scientific research projects were also affected to varying degrees. This incident has aroused widespread concern among netizens, divided into voices that understand and sympathize with Professor Xue Peng, and voices that believe that the center's approach is reasonable.
In fact, Professor Xue Peng's resignation and the issue of enrollment qualifications are not isolated cases. In universities and research institutes, the flow of talent is a very normal phenomenon. However, in this process, universities and research institutes often set up some restrictions and requirements to protect their own interests. For Professor Xue Peng, the reason for her resignation is not clear, and the center has asked her to give up the title of Outstanding Young Scholar, which undoubtedly limits her academic freedom. The conflict of interests between the two sides led to the continuous fermentation of this incident.
The controversy between Professor Xue Peng and the Beijing Computational Science Research Center has sparked thinking about talent mobility. In reality, it is not uncommon for universities and research institutes to compete for talents. However, the key is how to properly handle this scramble in order to achieve a win-win situation. If universities and research institutes can maintain an open attitude, focus on talents, and provide better development opportunities for talents, then the flow of talents can become a normal phenomenon.
It can be seen from the case of Professor Xue Peng that universities and research institutes often have some restrictions and requirements for the flow of talents. This is partly due to the interests of all parties. However, if these restrictions and requirements are too strict, it can lead to a vicious cycle of loss and competition for talent. Therefore, we need to protect the interests of universities and research institutes at the same time, but also take into account the legitimate rights and interests of talents, and give them more space for development.
In addition, relevant departments should also actively intervene to clarify the bottom line of talent flow through the design of laws and systems to protect the legitimate rights and interests of scientific researchers. Only in this way can the flow of talent be carried out in a legal, fair and transparent environment, avoid the recurrence of similar incidents, and promote the steady development of China's scientific research on the track of the rule of law.
To sum up, the escalation of Professor Xue Jianpeng's help-seeking incident has aroused widespread concern. Her resignation and the center's response complicate and entangle the matter. Talent mobility and competition between universities are not uncommon in reality, but the key is how to properly manage this competition to achieve a win-win situation. We need to protect the interests of universities and research institutes, and at the same time, we must also take into account the legitimate rights and interests of talents and give them more room for development. It is hoped that relevant departments can actively intervene, clarify the bottom line of talent flow through the design of laws and systems, protect the legitimate rights and interests of scientific research personnel, avoid the recurrence of similar incidents, and promote the steady development of China's scientific research on the track of the rule of law.
