Conditions for upgrading a college to a university
A few days ago, some netizens suggested that "Xichang College should be renamed as a university" through the People's Daily leadership message board, and Xichang College replied on June 10, 2023. "The state has strict examination and approval conditions for renaming universities, especially for renaming" colleges "as" universities ",such as having a master's degree. Generally speaking, although our school has made great progress in all aspects in recent years, there is still a big gap in the per capita area (based on the campus area) and the proportion of doctoral teachers to full-time teachers (based on the location of the school), especially the lack of the right to grant master's degrees, which greatly restricts the improvement of the school's running level and makes greater contributions to the economic and social development of Liangshan Prefecture. "

Xichang College is located in Liangshan Yi Autonomous Prefecture, Sichuan Province, the largest Yi inhabited area in China. It is the only newly-built undergraduate college jointly established by provinces, ministries and commissions (Sichuan Province, Ministry of Education and State Ethnic Affairs Commission).

Analysis on the Index of Xichang College Renaming as an Unqualified University

First, the size of students. Full-time students are 2040 1 person, including undergraduates 19264.

Second, disciplines and majors. There are 55 undergraduate majors, covering 8 disciplines including agronomy, engineering, management, science, education, literature, art and economics. Among them, engineering, management and art are the main subjects.

Third, the faculty. There are 789 full-time teachers and 337 external teachers, and the student-teacher ratio is 2 1.5438+0: 1. There are 289 teachers with senior titles, 52 doctors, 544 masters and 79 professors.

Fourth, teaching and scientific research. The school won 56 national and provincial teaching achievement awards. Xichang College * * * won the national project 19, 64 provincial and state scientific and technological progress awards, and the provincial outstanding achievement award 12, and selected 22 new crop varieties, and won the national patent 177, including 7 national invention patents 17, and promoted and transformed 68 scientific and technological achievements.

Fifth, infrastructure. Covering an area of 1.900 mu, the building area is 460,000 square meters, the teaching administrative room area is 265,000 square meters, and the library has 2,277,400 paper books.

Judging from the above information combined with the indicators of upgraded universities, in fact, the campus area is in line with the requirements (the Ministry of Education stipulates that the average student is 60 square meters, which is1.2000 square meters (1.8000 mu) according to the calculation of 20,000 students, but I don't know how the official reply limits the campus area). It is a fact that the building area is insufficient (the average student is not less than 30 square meters), and all students are full-time doctoral teachers in teaching administration. The proportion is 6.59% (20% according to university standards), there are 79 full professors (not less than 100 according to university standards) and 289 teachers with senior titles (not less than 400 according to university standards). The proportion of external teachers is too high, so there is still a big gap in teaching staff. Of course, the right to grant master's degrees is a prerequisite for the renaming of universities.

Schools should vigorously introduce talents with high professional titles and high academic qualifications, and encourage teachers to upgrade their academic qualifications. Campus construction, the school has three campuses. In fact, scattered campuses have brought adverse effects on campus management and operating costs. The government can support the construction of new campus and upgrade infrastructure. In the authorization of master's degree, the government should also give strong support to create conditions for "Shen Shuo" and strive for the policy inclination of the Ministry of Education (in this respect, it still has certain advantages to build universities directly under the Ministry of Education).

Necessity of renaming Xichang College as a University

First, from the perspective of population size. Liangshan Prefecture has a population of 4.858 million, and the population of Liangshan Prefecture ranks fifth among all cities and states in the province, belonging to the most populous city (state) in Sichuan Province.

Second, from the perspective of GDP scale. Liangshan Prefecture's GDP173.3 billion yuan ranks ninth among all cities and states in the province, which belongs to the upper-middle level.

Third, from the number of colleges and universities. At present, there are only three universities in Liangshan Prefecture, including undergraduate 1 (Xichang College). The number of colleges and universities does not match the size of population and GDP. In addition to building new universities, we should also develop high-level universities.

In the "14th Five-Year Plan" of Liangshan Prefecture, it is also explicitly proposed to "promote Xichang College and provincial ministries and commissions to jointly build domestic first-class universities", and at the same time support Sichuan Applied Vocational and Technical College to actively build undergraduate applied universities, speed up the construction of Liangshan Medical College, and actively establish Liangshan Vocational and Technical College.

Fourth, support the high-quality development of higher education in ethnic areas and make greater contributions to local social and economic development. The tripartite construction has been implemented, and the key is how to use the tripartite construction to promote the development of the school, run a high-quality university in ethnic areas, and build Xichang College into a high-level application-oriented university with distinctive characteristics and first-class domestic characteristics. In reply to the Proposal on Increasing Support for Higher Education in Liangshan to Cultivate Local Talents, the Ministry of Education also proposed to make Liangshan an important base for talent training, scientific research, social services and cultural inheritance and innovation in ethnic areas, and make greater contributions to poverty alleviation, sustainable development, national unity and progress, and economic, social and cultural construction in ethnic areas.
