Eighty-seven, move when you hear the wind
Merger? In the world of higher education, this has been a long-standing term.
The most popular time was around 2000. From top 2 to ordinary local colleges and universities, every college was thinking of ways to merge or be merged. It was not uncommon for five, six, seven or eight schools to merge into one school, and some even
985 colleges and universities have lowered their composure and merged technical secondary schools and junior colleges. In this massive merger, many schools have integrated resources through mergers to achieve complementary advantages and form economies of scale. They have jumped from ordinary local colleges to high branches and completed
Despite the magnificent transformation from a sparrow to a phoenix, many prestigious schools were affected by entanglements such as interest adjustment, power distribution, and personnel changes when powerful alliances were formed, and they are still suffering from the consequences to this day.
But in any case, mergers are already a thing of the past. Today, the Education Committee is very cautious about the merger of colleges and universities, and will not approve it normally. What's more, China Science and Technology Vocational College is a private college, who can it merge with? Who can merge it?

Su Shanyue said unhurriedly in the eyes of everyone's doubts: "Not long ago, I read a paper on the development dilemma of private higher education in the "Yanjing Higher Education Review". The author is based on the private universities in Jinling area.
For example, according to his statistics, there are 17 private colleges and universities in the Jinling area, including 8 undergraduates and 9 junior colleges. Affected by the current development trend of higher education, the development of the 9 junior colleges is not as good as before, and 6 of them have experienced operating difficulties.
That is to say, expenses such as faculty and staff salaries, water and electricity bills, far exceed annual tuition fees, contract fees and other income, resulting in making ends meet. This situation will become more and more serious as the number of enrollments decreases. One of the countermeasures he gave is to provide private colleges with
Merge in time and reorganize resources."
Only then did Xu Shengzhou realize that winter had arrived and he wanted everyone to stay together for warmth: "What are the pros and cons of merging?"
Su Shanyue replied: "Let's talk about the benefits first. After we merge with other private colleges, we can quickly meet the requirements for junior college to bachelor's degree in terms of school scale, so that the goal we originally planned to achieve in 3 years can be advanced to 2 years or even 1 year.
Half; their books, instruments and equipment, teaching staff, etc. can also be used by me. There are also disadvantages, such as the difficulty of integrating different campus cultures, the quality of teachers not suitable for undergraduate teaching, serious professional homogeneity, etc. The specific situation still needs
Research."
Xu Shengzhou touched his chin: "The problems you mentioned can be easily solved. What I'm most afraid of is that the organizers of the school will bury the hatchet during the merger. Just like the last time I took over this school, I ended up spending 100 million to get it.
After that, someone told me that the school still owed RMB 280 million in external debts, and the teachers and staff had not been paid for half a year. After finally dealing with this matter, someone told me that the previous organizer had used the land to carry out multiple transactions with many banks.
Mortgage, and loans of nearly 3 billion yuan. Do you think this is not pockmarked or called pockmarked - is it called a scam?"
Liu Guangce and others lowered their heads in shame.
Xu Shengzhou added: "Of course, if we meet people who sincerely want to merge in this trend, we are also willing to consider it. After all, the junior college to undergraduate program can be promoted one year, one and a half years in advance, which will have many benefits for the development of the school. Your junior college to bachelor's degree office can plan in advance
, carry out targeted research and provide reference opinions. —Does Director Su have anything else to say?"
Su Shanyue closed the notebook in her hand: "I think, based on the current vigorous development trend of our school, even if the organizers of those schools do not agree to the merger, the teachers and classmates in the school will agree. This can be done well
Take advantage of it. Nothing else is available."
Xu Shengzhou immediately moved on to the next topic: "Second, the school's discipline construction. We held the school's first discipline construction conference on the first day of last semester, which fully demonstrated that the school attaches great importance to discipline construction. It has been almost a year now.
Years have passed. How are the specific results? I would like to ask Director Tao of the Discipline Development Office to introduce the situation."
Tao Wenxia cleared her throat: "Since President Xu's foresight to establish the discipline construction office and hold the school's first discipline construction conference in September last year, our school's discipline construction has entered the fast lane. Not only has it established mathematics, biology, computer science and
With five key research groups including technology, cultural tourism industry research, and vocational education research, the publication of academic papers has also entered a blowout period. As of now, the school has published a total of 47 papers in various formal academic journals, which is equivalent to the past three years.
The total number. Among them, the biology discipline published 13 papers, and the vocational education research published 11 papers, both of which have completed the goal of building research groups. In addition, although the mathematics research group only published 7 papers, it included 1 published by President Xu.
The top issue, 1 article in area 1, 2 articles in area 3 by Teacher Jian, 2 articles in Chinese core, and 1 article in area 2 by Teacher Xiao, the quality is comparable to the level of the mathematics department of a university!"
Xu Shengzhou felt a little ashamed because neither of the two disciplines he was responsible for had reached the standard of publishing more than 10 papers in formal academic journals. The main reason was that in mathematics, he only focused on publishing big papers, and Mr. Cheng had requirements, so he couldn't do it casually.
Jian Wentong could only handle the irrigation work alone; as for computers, Huang Gaohua and other teachers were left alone and did not participate in their scientific research activities at all. Now that Niu Zheng is here, it seems that the computer direction needs to be stepped up to save his old age.
It’s about letting yourself go!
Tao Wenxia continued: "The school keeps its word. In accordance with the previously established reward policy, teachers who published papers were rewarded in a timely manner, which also stimulated everyone's enthusiasm and creativity. Especially the newly recruited teachers.
After that, it is estimated that there will be a wave of peak publication of papers. There are still three or four months left before the one-year cycle. I hope that all teachers will continue to work hard!"
Xu Shengzhou suddenly thought of a question: "Director Tao, what's going on with our school's "Journal" now?"
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
Tao Wenxia smiled and said: "I was about to report to Principal Xu. After a difficult communication in the early stage, they just came down a few days ago and reluctantly agreed that we should resume publishing from the second half of this year, but it can only be a quarterly magazine, and the review period is one year. If
If any problem occurs within the year, we will cancel the issue directly."
Xu Shengzhou said repeatedly: "Okay, okay, thank you for your hard work, Director Tao! "Journal of Chinese Academy of Sciences" is of great importance and cannot be overemphasized. I have said before that the editorial department of "Journal of Chinese Academy of Sciences" will be reorganized, with me as the director and Li Te as the deputy.
Director, re-recruit editors. The salary of editors can be appropriately generous, and part-time staff must also be paid separately. Director Li, you should pay more attention to this matter."
Li Te shook his head and replied: "Yes, yes, but I am following Principal Chen now, and the research has entered a critical stage. You have to equip me with a few capable people to prevent me from taking care of both sides."
Xu Shengzhou nodded: "Yes. Where to go? After the meeting, you can ask Director Li for his opinion. Allocate more people to his editorial department. They must be proficient in business and young and powerful. Don't be afraid of spending money."
He Xinghua quickly wrote it down in his notebook: "Okay, I will definitely implement it."
Xu Shengzhou thought about it and added: "Principal Chen and Teacher Xiao are also here. After the meeting is over, we will discuss the formation of an editorial committee. In recent issues, it is best to publish only science and engineering papers. We must strictly control them. If there are no papers, we will not do anything."
The editorial board members are self-reliant and have to survive this year and keep our precious issue! Is there anything else that Director Tao would like to add?"
Tao Wenxia shook her head and said she had nothing to say.
Xu Shengzhou moved on to the third topic without stopping: "Next, is the question that the teachers and students of the school are most concerned about, that is, can we move to the new campus as scheduled before the semester starts in September? Principal Liu will answer this."
Liu Guangce was obviously several shades darker than before, his shirt was no longer white, and his suit was straight, but Xu Shengzhou's impression of him was much better. He heard this and replied: "At present, the school gate, library, and academic lecture hall
, the experimental building has been built and put into use. In addition, 5 teaching buildings, 4 dormitory buildings, 3 canteens, and 1 gymnasium, which accommodate the daily study and life of 6,000 students, have completed the main structure and are undergoing intense interior decoration.
The campus' road surface hardening, lighting, greening of scenic spots and smooth paving of the stadium are also in progress. It is expected that they will be put into use by the end of August and will not affect the start of the new semester on the new campus."
Li Te immediately discovered the problem: "Students have food and housing, but what about teachers?"
Liu Guangce was a little apologetic: "Because the initial stage is mainly to ensure the start of the new semester, the faculty and staff apartments may not be completed until around October. At that time, teachers will need to work hard and spend more time commuting. Fortunately, there is a subway station in front of the school, and
There is an expressway and the transportation is quite convenient. If it is inconvenient for teachers to commute or have accommodation, we have also set aside about 100 single rooms in the male and female dormitories for everyone to use."
Li Te wanted to say something else, but Xu Shengzhou interjected: "Actually, even if the faculty and staff apartments are repaired in August, everyone will not be able to move in because the school has not yet figured out how to allocate them, how to set prices, and how to draw lots. Even if it is decided,
If we divide it, don’t we still have to decorate it? We won’t be able to live in it for a while, so it’s better to stay calm and wait for a few more months. Don’t be afraid of being late for good food!”
Just like this, after a day of trivial meetings, I managed to sort out the things I had put aside some time ago. Xu Shengzhou also knew what work he should do next.
The next morning, he rushed to the office early and wrote a paper for more than an hour while he felt refreshed. Then he took a few glances at arxiv and f1000, and started calling people to talk. But Su Shanyue didn't want to call him.
Come, a middle-aged man with a vigorous face, like a big brother in society knocks on the door and comes in. When he meets, he greets loudly: "Hello, Brother Xu! I'm sorry to bother you, please forgive me. Hahahaha!"
p>
Xu Shengzhou was stunned, stood up and asked: "Hello. Who are you?"
"Oh, I forgot to introduce myself. I am Wang Sihe, the chairman of Sanshan Vocational and Technical College, and also the vice president of our provincial private education research association. Hahahaha, after all, we are in the same industry!" Wang Sihe said loudly.
I sat down on the sofa.
Xu Shengzhou heard that some places were restructured and all schools, hospitals and other units were sold off. Some pig butchers and dance hall operators made money and joined in the fun to buy schools and hospitals. He thought it was a joke at first, but now he saw Wang Sihe,
I think the rumors are somewhat credible! He dealt with him as if he was a guest: "It turns out to be Principal Wang. I've heard of his name for a long time. You really can't tell a person's face!"
Wang Sihe didn't feel dissatisfied: "Hahahaha, I don't look like a teacher, do I? In fact, I am a contractor. I made some money more than ten years ago. I heard someone said that I could make money by opening a school, so I opened this school. Brother Xu,
I'm a rough person, I always speak straight to the point, and I don't know how to talk in circles. I came to see my brother today mainly because I heard that he wants to merge schools. Is it true?"
It is said that "good things don't go out, and bad things spread thousands of miles." Today, people know what was just discussed at yesterday's meeting. It seems that this merger is a bad thing!
