"Spring is warm, the breeze is not dry, I want to go to the university campus to see!" This is the heartfelt emotion of many alumni, relatives and friends of current students, and sightseeing tourists.
The epidemic has made the originally open and inclusive universities erect invisible walls. Nowadays, the dark clouds are gradually fading, and many people can't wait to take a look at the university campus and ask - when will the "college campus opening" be on the agenda? However, many people have expressed concern that university campuses are completely open to the public, believing that university campuses are places for centralized learning, and that full opening may cause resource crowding problems and bring potential safety risks.
Many colleges and universities have restored alumni access to campuses
"Four and a half years apart, this summer vacation, the two babies will be brought up again and go home!"
"After waiting for three years, I can finally go back to my alma mater! The long separation is for reunion. ”
"It's great, except for the graduation ceremony, I haven't been on campus again, and this time I can finally go back and take a look!"
......
On January 1 this year, Peking University and Tsinghua University both issued notices saying that in combination with the adjustment of epidemic prevention and control policies and the actual situation on campus, the permission of alumni to enter and exit the campus headquarters was restored, and the notice attracted cheers from many alumni.
Subsequently, Chinese Minmin University, China Agricultural University, Shanghai Jiao Tong University, Sun Yat-sen University, East China Normal University, Shenzhen University, Jinan University and other universities also announced the opening of their campuses to alumni. Among them, the specific entry requirements of each university are different, some require an appointment in advance through the WeChat mini program, and some need to hold an alumni card or valid ID to enter the campus.
"Jinan Garden is where I have lived and studied for four years, and it is my second home." Hearing that Jinan University opened alumni access to the campus, Ms. Li, who has graduated for 8 years, said excitedly, "If you don't forget it, there will be an echo!" I have already made an appointment with three or five confidants, and I am ready to meet at my alma mater for a while, and then look at the flowers, grass, bricks and tiles of my alma mater, and the smile of my mentor. ”
"In four years of college, the epidemic time accounts for more than half. I remember that since my sophomore year, online classes and online activities that communicate across screens have become the norm. Everything is like pressing the accelerator button, and before you can experience college life with a bang, it ends without looking back. Lin Lin, a 2022 graduate of Communication University of China, said, "Some time ago, I heard that alumni can make appointments to enter the campus, and my roommates and I are very excited. When everyone is free, we will go to the school's piano lake and cultural square to check in one by one to make up for the regrets left at that time. ”
The public expects universities to be open to the public
The news of the orderly opening of colleges and universities to alumni has moved many people. At the same time, many people asked: With the stable and normal development of the current society, will colleges and universities further expand the permission to enter the campus for the public? Moreover, it is spring, and many university campuses are full of flowers and charming scenery, and the call for university campuses to open to the public is getting stronger.
Wuhan University's cherry blossoms are famous throughout the country, and cherry blossom viewing at Wuhan University is a spring trip for many people. On March 3, Wuhan University issued a notice clarifying that from March 12 to March 3, alumni and the public can enter the campus by appointment to enjoy cherry blossoms. According to the arrangement, the daily appointment limit is 12,3 on weekdays and 27,1 on weekends. During the cherry blossom opening period, public visits are not allowed to the campus for teaching, scientific research, office buildings (halls, offices, institutes), student dormitories, etc., and public dining services are not available in the student cafeteria.
In Guangdong, the beauty of South China Agricultural University is also "out of the circle". Ms. Wu, who lives near South China Agricultural University, said: "Instead of going to the park, I prefer to meet my friends and relatives to stop at South China Agricultural University to enjoy the flowers. For the past three years, I have only been able to watch the flowers blossom and fall, which is very regrettable. Now, after some appointment procedures, I have the opportunity to visit the campus and make good memories in the sea of romantic flowers. ”
"Once the university opens to the public, I will definitely go in and visit the library, school history museum, canteen, etc., and I feel that it will be of some help to determine the direction of my future college entrance examination." Xie, a sophomore student at Guangzhou No. 1 Middle School, said, "I currently have several favorite universities, and walking into the school to experience the humanistic spirit of the school up close can help me choose the 'ultimate goal' and firmly work hard in this direction." ”
"There are many excellent universities in Guangzhou, and if the campus is open, I want to go to classes and improve my academic level." Mr. Ng, a member of the public, said, "I did not go to university in the past due to family reasons, but if the current university welcomes us to enter the university, I will definitely humbly study without affecting the order of the classroom." ”
There are concerns about the dangers of full openness
As a place with cultural heritage, infrastructure, beautiful scenery and youthful atmosphere, the university campus has made many people fascinated, and the greater opening of the campus is really exciting. However, many people have expressed concern about this.
"I think universities should open up in moderation, both from a security perspective and from a campus order." Huang of Shenzhen University said that on the one hand, the university is a place for concentrated learning, not a tourist attraction, and full opening may affect the order of classes; On the other hand, too many mobile people on campus may lead to some uncontrollable things, such as unrelated personnel breaking into student dormitories, which will bring potential safety hazards.
Shin Shin, who comes from South China Agricultural University, which is known as the "back garden of the flower city", agrees with the view that "universities should open up in moderation", adding: "Although many people are calling for the campus to be gradually opened, as far as I feel personally, sometimes I feel that the campus is super crowded and crowded, and the canteen seems to have been invaded. ”
"For teachers and students to enter and exit the campus, our school has basically returned to the pre-epidemic management methods, but it has not yet been opened to the public." The relevant person in charge of a university in Guangdong said, "First of all, there are many epidemics in spring, and the rush to fully open up is easy to cause cluster epidemics, after all, the population density of the school is extremely high. Secondly, the school is a place for students to learn, if there are too many outsiders, it may bring hidden dangers to the safety of students and teaching order, and it is difficult for the school to bear the logistical pressure brought by a large number of outsiders, such as dining in the canteen. ”
The person in charge further said that this does not mean that the school is completely closed to the public, and that outsiders can enter the campus through appointments at nodes such as campus open days, school anniversaries, or when holding some exchange activities.
The opening of the campus to the public should be adapted to the school's conditions
"For campus opening, many public opinion believe that all colleges and universities must be open, especially public colleges and universities that belong to the national public education resources, and there is no reason not to open to the public." Xiong Bingqi, president of the 21st Century Education Research Institute, pointed out, "In fact, the opening up of colleges and universities cannot adopt a one-size-fits-all single model, but must make scientific decisions based on school conditions and comprehensive considerations. ”
It is reported that many colleges and universities have opened their access to alumni, but it does not mean that the campus can enter and exit freely without restraint. The reporter learned from a key university that alumni can enter the campus with valid certificates such as alumni cards, and current students can help relatives and friends make an appointment to enter the campus.
In addition to the actual situation of colleges and universities, changes in the social environment are also an important measure of how university campuses open. A staff member of a university in Shaanxi said that due to the current prevalence of Stream A, alumni are currently required to take their temperature and register in addition to showing relevant identity documents and appointment records. At the same time, the school also said that the school's admission regulations will be adjusted with changes in the social situation, and there is a practical basis for opening the campus.
"The opening of university campuses should be promoted in an orderly manner, and we should start from the actual situation of the campus and find a scientific feasible path." For example, Xiong Bingqi said, for example, many colleges and universities have had the problem of "resource conflicts" in which students exercise and community residents compete for space. If the task of opening up is blindly entrusted to universities, there may be problems that universities will cope with, deal with sloppily, or be difficult to maintain for a long time. In order to increase the opening of schools, without increasing the burden on schools, and improve the efficiency and level of management, we can consider the government to introduce intermediaries of social welfare nature to provide "resource menus" for community residents. At the same time, the platform can also recruit community volunteers to participate in the management and maintenance of the opening of university venues, and establish a long-term management mechanism for the opening of university campuses based on the actual situation of the school.
