Dissatisfaction
Blog China: HE teachers, Hello, I blog in China, we conduct an interview you now. You today issued a "moratorium on recruiting graduate students, I declare - To the Graduate School of Peking University Law School cum responsible comrades of the open letter," What motivated you to send such a letter?
He Weifang: mainly post-graduate entrance examination system problems, we need to do various efforts. In particular, it as a scholar, the academic system of the entire building and training our next generation of academic problems of people, so I think that is a very important issue. This is no way, and by this way to express their dissatisfaction with it the hope and even.
Chinese blog: Why He issued an open letter to the teacher rather than the other way?
He Weifang: We do a lot of efforts in some time ago, Peking University School of Law, 2004-2005 take postgraduate examinations is such a system, but the system is deeply flawed. The most important is the scope of the examination should suppress some of our graduate students a professional orientation test. If it is to consider a professional student, we all know that some of them hope to engage students in a particular aspect of the study. They can in their own undergraduate stage, especially undergraduate juniors and seniors stage, they will be very attentively to carry out a specific area of the accumulation of knowledge, and then when the examination will be arranged, this course is very important, they will they have accumulated in the areas best suited to play the middle of its own characteristics expertise. This system has been in the past, but now do not know why, cause us another kind of attempt. Ideas to the test students in various undergraduate courses should focus on what test, so will cause a problem. Students engaged in research careers, they may not take into account all aspects of a very good student. Sometimes we often say, if each side has reached more than a pass or passing score, but no one has a kind of expertise, I do not think that scholars doing research for work.
There is the send system, I walked system has a different view. I think that send the system a lot of deficiencies. This school of Peking University, for many people, frankly, is a big dream, especially when the university entrance examination, there are many different reasons, so many candidates to play well, they did not test to the ideal university. There are many people whose dream is to Peking University to study. Send the system to make it reduce the chance of people. Statement in reference to the figures, is the official web site I found yesterday in Beijing, I think that has reached more reasonable levels. Too much, and send the two standards to judge, I am here only referred to a. That is, four years of study, each door courses, especially the main courses, test scores are high, top, so people can be walked. In fact, our experience shows that there are many outstanding students, the year in the undergraduate stage is very bad results. Recommended students too biased in favor of examination type, that is a very severe test, but the scholarship is not necessarily good. There is also a recommended students are student leaders, talented students, so I think this is unreasonable walks walks. Those who made such a few people can become a good scholar, so I think the send system is unreasonable. Of course, such a defect, speaking from the inside, you can give 8 9, but for external interviews for this article alone can show us of the shortcomings of the examination system.
I have the right not to recruit
Chinese blog: Do you think you have the right to not enroll, the school will agree?
He Weifang: of course have that right. I might want to recruit students, there are reasons not to move, but I do not always move, and I can even resign Well, so the negative side is to do.
Blog China: what you intend to recruit under restoration?
He Weifang: Only the examination system to return to foster and nurture the academic talents such circumstances, I will resume enrollment.
Blog China: In your letter, you said: "Even if teachers are opposed to policy-makers is still its own way." Policy-makers who? North decisions you what kind of procedure?
He Weifang: Actually this is the case, and we recently had one teacher in the forum, in that forum, LLM examinations related to the issue, my colleagues and I are very consistent view of all that the current system is wrong. But the sector seems to have concluded, again to open such a forum. Forum can not change anything. This policy makers, regulatory bodies, including universities, I think they are not accidental. In fact, I own open letter inside, clearly, education administration, that is, the Ministry of Education, their postgraduate examination system, in accordance with their intent to design. Graduate Examination of the most important is to be decided by the professors. Over the years, such a system are administrators, officials around its little finger between. Serious violation of university autonomy, independence criteria.
Change is not difficult
Blog China: You mentioned the various shortcomings in the existing enrollment system, whether the remedial measures?
He Weifang: Actually, it is very simple, not difficult to change. In the eighties, nineties for a long period of time, we make the examination system is that it's as reasonable, and basically not much defects. Proved, in the eighties, many scholars stand out slowly. Peking University, a very powerful example of a river called Zhang Long, he did not read the University, but his direct examination to Professor Zhu Guangqian doctorate, then this person became the comparative literature, cultural studies is very important to scholars, now the United States to teach. According to this system we have today, may this person will be buried. So very easy to change, and now we were always changing the system to, the words of chop and change with soil. We should have a very stable system.
Chinese blog: You Peking University, Chen Danqing in Tsinghua University, to some extent, it reflects on the universality of our graduate enrollment system failure?
He Weifang: I feel that such a system does exist in many places worthy of our reflection, like the art of professional recruitment, but also to test some of Art Howe is not associated with things like decision making CHEN Dan, I think is worthy of sympathy. He is not easy to make that decision. He looked at art as a very talented person, was somehow the standard block outside the Art Institute, and who has admitted to not qualify, such a situation to be Teacher who really, really suffering. So I think we now need to reflect on the integrity of postgraduate examination system, a full range of different factors. For example, our legal profession, there are two, one is Master of Law, one is the Master of Laws, Master of Laws is to cultivate talent for the world, this professional recruitment in our far more than the size of Master of Laws, We only need the basis of such De situation to decide to design LL.M. admissions, Zhu Yao's Mubiao is Peiyangxueshu Rencai, we have to lay for the future of Faxue Ph.D basis, and if we enrollment when not attract young people to enter the Dao Master of Law ranks, the future admission of Dr. Law also admitted to the master's degree of law, later Professor of Law, Doctor of Law or the overall quality will suffer.
University is to teach
Blog China: You mentioned the independence of the University of independence with professors, among them what kind of relationship?
He Weifang: the so-called universities, according to a Western scholar is in fact the university is to teach. Related to the management of the University of inside, the design of the academic system, academic policy development, must be university professors as a whole will. Can not say that the university become the intervention of external powers, take orders from outside the power of a group or an institution. So I think the two are consistent. Pursuit of autonomy and the University Professors, such a goal. Many people worry that too much independence would bring about other aspects of some problems, for example, does not meet certain principles, can not accept external power to mobilize. I think a country can order, all the people are mobilized, such a system is not exactly the most stable. Sound system below, just supporting the independence of the stability of society will have different voices, a kind of independent force, this force would encounter problems of a country when the time, both efficiency and stability of independent voices, to give the community a good community to resolve conflicts and reasonable way. Western universities and history of independent intellectuals Ye Hao, they have an important role. Unless it was too much emphasis on abuse, but did not see the value of the University of independence of more worthy of introspection.
Parties did not respond
Blog China: open letter to you, whether the parties concerned have reacted?
He Weifang: does not reflect this morning just to write about.
Chinese blog: Have you ever you used to have such an open letter, what kind of reaction?
He Weifang: an open letter written earlier, a variety of network media coverage more.
Chinese blog: Your open letter published in the blog after China has now developed into more than 2,000 hits, more than 40 articles User comments. Some friends say that you "to impart a teacher to say how many teachers would swallow their anger," your courage is appreciated. Some friends you referred to as "the backbone of China's intellectuals!", "Defenders of Chinese education." How do you see the comments of these users?
He Weifang: The reputation too, and I feel How could I achieve, only about a pursuit of academics itself, a value, our pursuit, our values, and these issues are related. So when our rights, our goal was eroded step by step, was hurt when, in fact we all know, the future foundation of our lives will one day be completely destroyed, so we must do good and not for the . From the education itself, there are very major problems, we must voice to this problem. Actually more valuable to society of different views.
Citizenship behavior
Blog China: Martin Luther King advocated "civil disobedience", your behavior is not also be civil disobedience?
He Weifang: Maybe. Not the same situation, Martin Luther King needs to go in prison for such disobedience. However, this is about the. When a society is unreasonable, when each of us has a responsibility to express, to reflect on our resentment. That is, the German jurist Garling said that "struggle for the rights." Second, modern society, the obligation of every citizen. If we face unreasonable things, then all swallow it, do not express their views, in fact, hurt not only themselves, but also the interests of society as a whole.
Chinese blog: This behavior is not also a citizen of civil society in the performance of independent behavior?
He Weifang: I think so. Civil society or civil society, tend to be more pluralistic society. We have different voices, one of the same phenomenon may have been that good, some say bad, it is civil society or civil society is very normal. An interaction between the different views, conflict, compromise will bring a really harmonious society, bringing to rationalize decision-making.
Blog China: Beijing Cai era in the promotion of "freedom of thought, inclusive," the times of today's Beijing Cai How far from? In what ways specifically?
He Weifang: Cai principals as advocated an "inclusive, freedom of thought" tradition, in fact, a great impact on the North later, including Hu Shi later. I think that should not neglect the efforts of Mr. Hu Shi, I think that in the 20th-century China, Hu as a liberal intellectuals, his role is significant, its impact was spread to all areas of Humanities and Social Sciences, and even including China's political development. Even today, many teachers live in the North, and even students, such a spirit or a perennial. Live inside or have some effect, although real life is not only the most satisfactory manner,
China blog: You are resolutely in? Are there concerns over?
He Weifang: No worries about such things, the problem is not too sensitive.
Blog China: such action would you pay?
He Weifang: I do not think. I just sound institutional framework, to do something to it, I imagine such a thing will not come out what bad consequences.
Blog China: You say he is weak, weak choice but to retreat. You such a choice is not very do nothing about?
He Weifang: I have said before, I know. The attitude of the teachers are very consistent, but eventually the arm for the thigh. So we can only express anger in such a way right.
Chinese blog: This is not a passive act of resistance?
He Weifang: I think this is a very powerful resistance. I do not think. Although our society after 20 years of reform and opening up have been great changes, we do not think people have the right to say all right, this has changed a lot.
Be expected
Blog China: HE teacher, interested parties are not there expectations?
He Weifang: I know from my colleagues, many people have said this very well, is absolutely correct. So I hope that everyone with an open forum to find out what everyone's mind, not another meeting before the decision-making, but a genuine attitude towards democracy. Our time through democratic means to solve the problem.
