Xinhua News Agency, Beijing 165438+ 10/3, Ministry of Education and Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security 13 issued the Interim Measures for the Evaluation and Supervision of University Teachers' Professional Titles, which stipulated that the evaluation of university teachers' professional titles should be directly delegated to universities, and the evaluation of university teachers' professional titles "should put the evaluation of teachers' morality in the first place".
The method is clear. Universities that do not have the ability of independent evaluation can adopt joint evaluation and entrusted evaluation, and the main responsibility is borne by universities. The evaluation right of associate professors and professors in colleges and universities should not be delegated to the college (department) level. The competent departments of institutions of higher learning shall implement specific supervision and professional guidance on the evaluation of teachers' professional titles in their subordinate institutions of higher learning. The education administrative department and the human resources and social security department shall supervise the evaluation of college teachers' professional titles.
The method requires that colleges and universities should, in accordance with the central government's plan to deepen the reform of the professional title system, formulate the evaluation method and operation plan for teachers' professional titles in our school, and clarify the responsibilities, evaluation standards and evaluation procedures for professional titles. Documents must be formulated in accordance with the provisions of the school's articles of association, and teachers' opinions should be widely solicited.
The method points out that colleges and universities must report the evaluation of teachers' professional titles in the previous year to the competent department before March 3 1 every year. Relevant materials and files in the process of professional title evaluation in colleges and universities should be properly kept for at least 10 years to ensure the traceability of the whole evaluation process.
Education, human resources and social security departments and the competent departments of colleges and universities will regularly carry out a certain proportion of spot checks in a "double random" way. According to the spot checks, special inspections will be conducted for problems that are strongly reflected by the masses or public opinion.
According to the "Measures", teachers who declare in the evaluation of college teachers' professional titles will be dealt with in accordance with the relevant regulations of the state and schools once they are found to have fraudulent and academic misconduct. Teachers who have passed the evaluation due to fraud and academic misconduct will have their evaluation results revoked. Review experts who violate the review discipline will be disqualified and listed in the "blacklist".
