Traffic gates (commonly known as "access control") are installed at multiple entrances and exits of the teaching area of Nanjing University's Gulou Campus. This also means that anyone, including teachers and students of the school, must "swipe their card" if they want to enter the campus. Although NTU is not the first public university to install "access control" for the sake of "campus security", it still caused widespread controversy both inside and outside the school. Some people believe that this approach really seals the university campus into an "ivory tower" isolated from the outside world. What do you think?
I think there is nothing wrong with being closed. For the sake of the safety of students, it is understandable. Just imagine who is blocked by the access control? In fact, the gate control bans people walking around the school, bans take-out motorcycles, and other people in society with other purposes. The gate control does not isolate oneself from the outside world. The gate control isolates people who have nothing to do with the school. There is no problem. It would be better if there are measures to open the campus during the winter and summer vacations.
Agree with your statement. It's okay if there are no accidents on campus, such as theft, scratching, occupying the student playground, etc. If an accident occurs, the school has management responsibility, right? When I went to a nearby school, primary and secondary schools were not allowed to enter, and university campuses required me to register my ID card information periodically.
I think universities should still be open to operate schools. For the sake of safety, we cannot ban them all at once. We can use the method of swiping ID cards to identify people to strengthen security management.
A school is a school, and you should respect the school whether you are dealing with others or not. After all, the school is not a park
Comments from the official media came. University opening is a two-way street. Allowing outsiders to enter the campus and enjoy the environment and academic resources is one aspect, and allowing teachers and students to go out of campus to serve the city is another aspect. The opening of universities should have multiple dimensions and degrees, and we cannot simply focus on the opening of the school gate. At the same time, people outside the school should fully understand the starting point of the school administrators. Recently, the "restriction order" on the Gulou Campus of Nanjing University has aroused public attention and discussion on the opening of university campuses. The discussion focused on whether university campuses should open their doors to welcome tourists. In fact, the content worth discussing on this topic is not limited to this. The resources that the university can provide to the surrounding communities and the society as a whole are not just campus scenery. The long-term goal and ideal should be to build a positive interaction between the university and the surrounding communities, mobilize the resources of both parties, revitalize the stock, let the university serve the community and society, create a cultural value leading area, and create universal education. * society. If you want to gradually realize this goal and ideal, you need to understand that the opening of the university is multi-layered. Opening the school gate does not mean opening, and properly controlling the access control of passenger flow does not mean closing.
The profound mutual influence between universities and cities cannot be underestimated. In the process of its emergence and transformation, the history of the integration and development of modern universities with their locations can be described as colorful. There is the co-prosperity of the world's first modern university, the University of Berlin, which makes all Berliners proud, and the city where it is located. There is also the "black history" of the University of Cambridge when students from the University of Oxford fled to Cambridge due to gang fights with Oxford residents. All these cannot be summarized by words such as inclusion, exclusion or acculturation. According to the "2017 National Education Development Statistical Bulletin" recently released by the Ministry of Education, there are 2,631 general colleges and universities in the country, with a total enrollment of 37.79 million people. Universities not only occupy a considerable area in various cities, but also provide a large number of high-quality permanent residents. The impact of universities on urban development is multifaceted, including talent training and transportation, technological innovation and application, social investigation and services, cultural inheritance and dissemination, etc.
Opening up the university is a two-way street. Allowing outsiders to enter the campus and enjoy the environment and academic resources is one aspect, and allowing teachers and students to go out of campus to serve the city is another aspect. First of all, universities are the most dynamic cultural institutions in urban organizations. In addition to clean campus environments, they also have quiet libraries, self-service * Rooms, master lectures and art performances, etc. On the premise of not affecting the order of the campus, these resources can be opened to the society in a planned way, such as the introduction of dynamic management methods such as online reservations, so that more people outside the school have the opportunity to be exposed to the cultural atmosphere of higher education. Secondly, teachers and students must come out of the campus to combine practical scientific research results with urban planning, conduct multi-faceted inspections of the city through scientific means, inherit its excellent material and spiritual culture, and put forward corresponding opinions and suggestions on areas that need improvement.
The open model of university resources going global requires both "looking up to the stars" and "being down to earth". “"Looking up at the stars" means having high aspirations, understanding one's important role in social construction and development, and taking serving the society as one's own responsibility. “"Being down-to-earth" means that social services must be implemented in a practical manner so that surrounding communities can directly benefit. Nanjing University, Peking University, Tsinghua University and other nationally renowned universities at the center of this topic have a wide range of influence. However, the influence of most universities across the country mainly covers the city or community where they are located. Therefore, after teachers and students leave the campus, the first thing they need to do is community service, and it is community service that is constantly pioneering and innovative, combined with professional expertise, and institutionalized.
