Some netizens are not optimistic about the construction of Fuyao University of Science and Technology, because the construction of high-level science and engineering universities needs continuous financial support, and there is no precedent for private construction before; Some netizens also believe that Cao's move is based on the establishment of Xiamen University in Xiamen, Fujian Province 100 years ago, and the establishment of Fuyao University of Science and Technology in Fuzhou after Cao 100 years. What is Cao's goal of building Fuyao University of Science and Technology? The author will talk about his own views below.
1. High-level, small-scale and applied university Cao Zeng said that Fuyao University of Science and Technology will be a small-scale, high-level and applied university in response to the state investment of 654.38 billion yuan to build Fuyao University of Science and Technology. Science and engineering will be the pillar specialty, and postgraduate education will be the mainstay. Cao's move is also a contribution to the development of Fuzhou, his hometown, and also a corresponding contribution to the current national science and engineering construction. This kind of behavior should be praised.
Second, the construction of science and engineering colleges needs more than10 billion, and Fuyao University of Science and Technology has a long way to go. In fact, the author is not optimistic about the construction of Fuyao University of Science and Technology, because Fuyao University of Science and Technology itself is positioned as a science and engineering college. In fact, for the construction of a key science and engineering college, the funds needed are far more than10 billion yuan. Let's take some science and engineering colleges directly under the Ministry of Education as examples, such as Wuhan University of Technology. In fact, Wuhan University of Technology is not the top science and engineering university in China, but the annual financial allocation has exceeded 5 billion, and it is difficult for Fuyao University of Science and Technology to have long-term financial support. Therefore, the author thinks that the construction of Fuyao University of Science and Technology can be said to be a long way to go.
Third, the definition of responsibility is not clear, and follow-up funds are difficult to guarantee. Fuyao University of Science and Technology defines itself as a public institution, but there is no clear responsibility subject. Will its financial support be provided by the Fujian Provincial People's Government or the charitable foundation led by Cao in the future? There is no complete division of responsibilities. As a matter of fact, Fujian Province has built a complete college of three grades in the construction of science and engineering colleges, and will not provide relevant follow-up funds for Fuyao University of Science and Technology. Therefore, Fuyao University of Science and Technology must take small scale as its main feature if it wants to improve its quality.
