4 "stronger" universities in my country, refusing to merge with 985 universities? It's still very powerful
There has been a wave of large-scale mergers in China's higher education sector, consolidating some universities into new, more comprehensive and powerful institutions, in order to enhance their overall strength and international reputation. This model is regarded as a special way for the development of higher education in China, through strong alliances, to fill the shortcomings of disciplines, enhance the overall competitiveness, so as to establish popularity at home and abroad, and improve rankings.
Today, only 12 of the 39 985 universities we are familiar with have not experienced a merger. Even some of the top 985 universities, including Tsinghua University and Peking University, have experienced a history of mergers.
These 985 universities, which have received key support from the state, have taken advantage of policies and funds to strengthen themselves to a certain extent by annexing other universities, but as a result, many universities with unique characteristics have gradually faded out of the historical stage.
However, in this wave of mergers, there are still a few universities that refuse to merge with 985 University and choose the path of independent development. Despite the merger's access to more resources and higher status, these universities have remained true to their philosophy and are still standing today. Now, let's take a look at the colleges and universities that have refused to merge with 985 University.
The first is Peking Union Medical College. After Peking University merged with Beijing Medical University, Tsinghua University tried to annex Peking Union Medical College, but was refused. At present, the two schools are only conducting joint training activities, while Union Medical College insists on retaining its own unique characteristics and rejects the merger.
After all, Peking Union Medical College enjoys a high reputation as the "temple" of the medical community, and even Tsinghua University, the top in the country, cannot overpower it. So far, the enrollment score of Peking Union Medical College is still higher than that of Tsinghua University, showing its strength and status.
This is followed by Nanjing Medical University. Nanjing University tried to merge with Nanjing Medical University, but the latter refused. Although the University of Medicine had made overtures to the University at that time, it was questioned for its lack of quality and finally failed to reach a merger. Subsequently, the university gradually grew and now has a high reputation in the medical community, showing the wisdom of refusing to merge in the first place.
Southwest University of Political Science and Law is another example. Chongqing University tried to strengthen its strength in the liberal arts field through a merger, but the leaders and alumni of Southwest University of Political Science and Law firmly opposed it and chose to develop independently. Today, Southwest University of Political Science and Law is still ranked high in the legal community, maintaining its own characteristics and reputation.
Finally, China Medical University. As a representative of China's medical universities with deep red genes, China Medical University has gone through twists and turns and adhered to the path of independent development. Although there was a merger proposal, it was not reached. Relying on its own strength and reputation, China Medical University has made significant progress in the field of medicine.
To sum up, although there are pros and cons to the merger of universities, those universities that refuse to merge have adhered to their own characteristics of running schools, cultivated more professional talents for the country, and made important contributions to the development of the country. The persistence and efforts of these colleges and universities have left a strong mark in the history of China's higher education.
