Around the new century, as an important measure to reform the higher education system, rationally allocate educational resources and build high-level universities, a number of newly-built comprehensive universities have been merged and formed one after another, which has become a major event in the history of higher education development in China. The merger of universities poses a severe challenge to the effective management of schools.
Strengthen the principal responsibility system under the leadership of the Party Committee. Institutions of higher learning implement the principal responsibility system under the leadership of the Party Committee, and realize the party's leadership system and the principle of democratic centralism.
The organic unity of learning rules is the leading system of colleges and universities with China characteristics. To implement the principal responsibility system under the leadership of the Party Committee, we should focus on strengthening the ideological and political construction and capacity building of the school leadership, adhere to the basic principles and requirements of "political firmness, seeking truth and being pragmatic, pioneering and innovative, diligent and honest, unity and cooperation", constantly improve the theoretical accomplishment and ideological level of cadres, improve the strategic thinking and overall ability of the leadership, and strive to achieve harmony between the leadership system and the party and government relations in colleges and universities.
Actively explore the ways to realize the principal responsibility system under the leadership of the party Committee, with special emphasis on three systems: first, establish a regular communication and consultation mechanism between the party Committee secretary and the principal; Second, adhere to the system that major issues are collectively decided by the Standing Committee; The third is to adhere to the process of demonstration, investigation and consultation before making decisions on major issues. The implementation of the three systems has enabled the school to truly form a democratic decision-making mechanism that deeply understands people's feelings, fully reflects people's opinions, and widely concentrates people's wisdom, thus enhancing the scientificity and transparency of decision-making.
Establish a balanced and harmonious school governance structure. China's characteristic university power framework system includes political power with the Party committee as the core, administrative power with the president as the head, academic power with professors as the leading factor and democratic management power with faculty representatives as the main body. In order to realize the effective operation of the "four-in-one" power framework system, we must clarify the relationship between academic power and administrative power in colleges and universities, and realize the balance and harmony between academic power and administrative power.
Colleges and universities should adhere to the concept of "the leadership of the Party committee, the responsibility of the president, the freedom of teaching, academic freedom and institutional guarantee", and make correct use of all kinds of school-running resources by reforming the management system, adjusting the governance structure and perfecting the institutional system, and clarify all kinds of power relations formed from this. At the school level, focus on building and giving play to the functions and functions of the school academic Committee; At the college (department) level, professors' committees are generally established, and it is clearly stipulated that the top leaders of the party and government at the school level shall not serve as the chairmen of academic organizations at the above two levels. At the same time, it is necessary to further clarify the responsibilities and rights of staff congresses, academic committees and professors committees, and form a good model and good habit for schools to listen to the opinions and suggestions of teachers and students, including well-known experts and scholars and leaders of democratic parties, before making decisions on major issues and important affairs, so as to show respect for academics and strive to make the decision-making process democratic, scientific and standardized.
Promote comprehensive reform. The construction of modern university management system is a systematic project, which includes many subsystems and links. Horizontally, there are mainly parallel management systems such as school administrative management system, financial management system, human resource management system, teaching and scientific research management system and logistics management system. Vertically, different aspects of university management have management policies and measures, such as decision-making system, implementation system, supervision system, evaluation system and incentive system. Promoting the reform of financial management system can make the secondary college truly become a relatively independent interest subject, help comprehensively promote the comprehensive reform of system of human resource management, teaching and scientific research management system and logistics management system, and make the whole school strengthen the consciousness of subject, cost and economy.
The reform and innovation of the management system of comprehensive universities must adhere to people-oriented, so that any reform measures can fully reflect the essential characteristics and basic values of the reform and development of modern universities, give full play to people's potential and wisdom, fully mobilize the subject consciousness and work enthusiasm of faculty, strive to achieve the coordinated development of personnel training at all levels, and at the same time increase the construction of high-end talent teams to achieve the sustainable development of school personnel construction.
Improve the soft power of running schools. The construction of university culture itself is a soul-casting project in colleges and universities. Harmonious university culture is an important goal, basic connotation and basic characteristics of harmonious campus construction, which reflects the ideals, beliefs, styles and characteristics gradually formed in the long-term school-running process, is an indispensable ideological guidance and spiritual support for universities, and is an important embodiment of the soft power of running universities.
In the construction of campus culture, we should adhere to Socialism with Chinese characteristics's ideal to unite teachers and students, start with the basic work of building a civilized campus, civilized units, civilized classes and civilized windows, vigorously implement the campus culture construction project, constantly increase the construction of campus culture positions, carriers, systems and activity brands, and actively guide teachers and students to establish a correct world outlook, outlook on life, values and outlook on honor and disgrace through campus culture construction. Promote the construction of teachers' morality, study style and school spirit, comprehensively improve the management and service level of the school, strive to form an environment of unity and mutual assistance, honesty and friendship, and harmonious coexistence among people, form a clean and healthy campus lifestyle, and form an ideological realm and campus atmosphere in which teachers and students agree with basic values.
