At Beijing Normal University, he successively served as deputy director of the Institute of Developmental Psychology, deputy director of the Social Science Department, vice president of the School of Education and Psychological Science, and director of the Institute of Mental Health and Education. In Beijing Normal University, Professor Dong Qi was deeply appreciated by Professor Zhong Binglin, then president, and his status was rising. From 65438 to 0999, Professor Dong Qi served as the vice president of Beijing Normal University and held the post of university management. Professor Zhong Binglin, former meritorious president of Beijing Normal University, retired and handed this burden to Professor Dong Qi. When President Dong Qi took office, he made four commitments, namely, not to declare scientific research projects, not to recruit new graduate students, not to declare teaching and scientific research awards and not to declare academicians, and made great efforts to do a good job in school management. His remarks also aroused great concern.
