Chapter 304 The Social Status of Private Universities
Boom!
On the west side of the campus of Wucheng University of Arts and Sciences, the construction equipment of various construction sites is running in full swing.
The workers are busy getting to work.
Among them, there are many students from the School of Architecture of Wucheng University of Arts and Sciences. Some of them are conducting construction surveys on site, and some are directly working as on-site construction workers.
This huge construction site is the internship battlefield for the second-year students of the School of Architecture, Wucheng University of Arts and Sciences.
Since the 11th November holiday, the second phase expansion project of Wucheng University of Arts and Sciences has already started construction one after another.
The second-phase expansion project this time is basically the main expansion project of Wucheng University of Arts and Sciences. The remaining 4,000 mu of land will be used to build various building facilities required by Wucheng University of Arts and Sciences. and venue.
"Principal Ding, will the 5,000 acres of educational land be expanded all at once?"
President Xu Dongcheng of Xiguang University asked in surprise after listening to the expansion project of Wucheng University of Arts and Sciences introduced by Ding Yue.
After all, 5,000 acres is really big.
Xu Dongcheng's own Xiguang University has a total area of just over 4,800 acres, while the existing campus of Wucheng University of Arts and Sciences has 2,500 acres, plus 5,000 acres, making a total of 7,500 acres. Such a large campus, from the east gate to the west gate , that's basically the equivalent of a long-distance relationship.
"That's right."
Ding Yue nodded and replied, "Now the Shujian library and a dormitory area have been built, using hundreds of acres of land."
In fact, the second phase of Wucheng University of Arts and Sciences is currently under construction. There is no more than 5,000 acres of land, but only more than 4,000 acres. Because the Shujian Library, Yayuan Apartment Building and Jingye Dormitory Building are the first phase of expansion. The project also used several hundred acres of the 5,000 acres of land.
"President Ding, your Wucheng University of Arts and Sciences campus is really big. If all the 7,500 acres are built, the number of students will at least exceed 100,000, right?"
Xu Dongcheng exclaimed.
100,000 students!
How exaggerated this is. At this stage, there are no colleges and universities with more than 100,000 people in the country.
Xu Dongcheng once thought of building his Xiguang University into a private university with more than 100,000 students.
But in the end, it is a pity that this wish, Xu Dongcheng, did not come true.
Not only that, the number of students not only did not continue to rise, but began to gradually decline.
In the past, when Xiguang University was at its most brilliant, the number of students exceeded 50,000, almost 10,000 in each grade, and thousands of graduate students.
And now.
Xiguang University has begun to decline. At present, there are only more than 30,000 students in the fourth grade of the university, and the number of graduate students is less than 500.
"If there are 100,000 students, I think there should be no problem. After all, there are already more than 30,000 students."
Ding Yue said confidently.
Ding Yue has never been worried about recruiting students.
Because my own Wucheng University of Arts and Sciences independent enrollment plan does not require scores, that is to say, as long as the college entrance examination results are not satisfactory, and they do not want to repeat or are not allowed to repeat at home, but they want to go to college, they can come to Wucheng University of Arts and Sciences. study.
This part is fresh graduates. In fact, some of them have already gone to college, but they are not satisfied with the current college, and even young people who have missed college and entered the society for one or two years, if they also want to realize their college dream, Wucheng In principle, liberal arts universities will not refuse.
As long as you have the money and you can afford the tuition, this is key for young people who have missed college.
Because the poverty-stricken student loans of Wucheng University of Arts and Sciences are, in principle, only for fresh college students.
The freshmen of the college entrance examination are actually the main body of the freshmen of Wucheng University of Arts and Sciences every year, basically accounting for more than 95%!
"I have to say, President Ding, your private university is really good!" Xu Dongcheng's tone was full of envy, and then he said: "We, Xiguang University, are now studying four grades. Including graduate students, there are only more than 30,000 people.”
In comparison, the source of students at Xiguang University is no longer as good as that of Wucheng University of Arts and Sciences. After all, Wucheng University of Arts and Sciences is only in the first and second grades, and already has more than 30,000 students.
However, the advantage of Xiguang University compared to Wucheng University of Arts and Sciences is its social status in China and the number of university talents it has cultivated.
People will not think that Xiguang University is a private pheasant university, because the teaching strength of Xiguang University is still a bit strong, and this university has been around for many years. of college students, and some of them are talented.
Therefore, in the eyes of the general public, although Xiguang University is a private university, it is also regarded as a "key point" among private universities. Many people even think that Xiguang University is stronger than some very ordinary undergraduate universities. of.
On the contrary, Wucheng University of Arts and Sciences does not have the same social status as Xiguang University at this stage, because Wucheng University of Arts and Sciences is too young. Although it is well-known, its social status is still very low.
A university needs not only popularity, but also social standing.
Wucheng University of Arts and Sciences has gained popularity because Wucheng University of Arts and Sciences is often searched for some events. Although it is a hot search event with positive energy, it can only let the public know about this private university.
Social status is to let the public recognize this private university!
The only things that the Wucheng University of Arts and Sciences can be recognized by the public are medical robots and third-generation gallium nitride semiconductor materials.
And the third-generation gallium nitride semiconductor material was researched together with Jiangnan University of Science and Technology.
"President Xu, but your Xiguang University has a relatively high social status. Many people think that your Xiguang University is stronger than ordinary public undergraduate universities. Our Wucheng University of Arts and Sciences does not have such a social status."
Ding Yue smiled helplessly and said to Xu Dongcheng.
This is also where Ding Yue envies Xu Dongcheng.
Ding!
"Congratulations to the host for obtaining the university mission - [University Social Status]."
Suddenly, in Ding Yue's mind, a system prompt sounded.
A new task has appeared.
In the past two days, Ding Yue has already received two system tasks.
This system task also appeared along with Ding Yue's idea, that is, when talking with President Xu Dongcheng about the social status of private universities, the corresponding university tasks appeared naturally.
"Task - [University Social Status]: The host strives to improve the social status (social recognition) of Wucheng University of Arts and Sciences, and each time a stage is reached, the corresponding task reward can be obtained."
"[University social status] stage: preliminary recognition, public recognition, comparable to public, private key, domestic first-class, world-renowned."
【Social status of colleges and universities】——
Stage: Preliminary approval (95%)
After the prompt sound of the system releasing the task in Ding Yue's mind ended, the panel of the task appeared in front of him.
Now the stage of [University Social Status] is 95% preliminary approval, that is to say, the stage of preliminary approval is about to be reached.
And this [University Social Status] task has a total of six stages, which is actually a bit like the college level of Wucheng University of Arts and Sciences.
It's just that it is obviously much more difficult to upgrade the level of colleges and universities, and the task of [Social Status of Colleges and Universities] should be simpler.
But despite this, Ding Yue took a look at the six stages, and it may be easier to achieve the initial approval stage.
The stage of public recognition should not be difficult, but to be comparable to the public stage requires the social status of Wucheng University of Arts and Sciences. To reach the level of people's perception, it can be comparable to the level of ordinary public undergraduate universities.
This has some difficulty.
The key point of private operation is to achieve the social status of President Xu Dongcheng's Xiguang University, not to mention the domestic first-class and world-renowned.
It is estimated that the difficulty is not generally high.
Ding Yue estimates that this task of [social status in colleges and universities] cannot be accomplished overnight. If you want to achieve global fame, how many years will it take?
Therefore, Ding Yue pondered for a while, and took it slowly, step by step, to get the two stages of initial recognition and public recognition, and then see what rewards are there.
In fact, Ding Yue felt that the task of [college social status] had a certain degree of overlap with the college level of his Wucheng University of Arts and Sciences.
Because the improvement of the university level of Wucheng University of Arts and Sciences can obviously help improve the social status of the university.
"President Xu, how can private colleges and universities like ours improve their social status?"
After Ding Yue obtained this system task, he instead consulted President Xu Dongcheng of Xiguang University.
After all, President Xu Dongcheng's Xiguang University, whose social status should be at the key stage of private operation, must have a certain amount of experience.
"Well, in fact, what everyone is looking at is the graduation and employment of a university. The employment rate of our graduates at Xiguang University has always been very good, so we have accumulated social trust for many years, and we have today's social status. "
Principal Xu Dongcheng was quite direct, and told Principal Ding the main methods to improve the social status of colleges and universities.
"Oh oh."
Ding Yuren nodded thoughtfully.
It looks like it's pretty much what I imagined.
When Ding Yue thought that the task of [social status in colleges and universities] could not be accomplished overnight, he knew that the high probability depends on the employment rate of graduates of the school, which is really important.
Then the public recognition stage of this task may be comparable to the public stage, or even the private key stage, at least two or three years before it can be completed.
Because Wucheng University of Arts and Sciences is still two or three years away from graduating from the first batch of large-scale students.
Although some students graduate early with excellent academic performance, the social recognition that this school can improve should be limited.
This social recognition is the recognition of the general public. What they value more is whether the graduates of your university can have a good employment environment after four years of studying in this university, not so Achievements and honors created by several outstanding students.
"This is actually an accumulation of time." Principal Xu Dongcheng added another sentence.
"Understood."
Since Ding Yuejian is like this, then this task should not be completed in a hurry.
Now, let's complete the task of [Provincial Key Professional Level] earlier. After all, the ready-made rewards are in front of us, and this task can be completed within a year or even half a year.
Ding Yue took President Xu Dongcheng to continue to stroll around the construction campus of Wucheng University of Arts and Sciences, and exchanged their experiences with each other by the way.
Xu Dongcheng wanted to learn from Ding Yue some experiences and methods on how to make the school run better, so as to ensure the positive growth of students.
And Ding Yue's words, like just now, can sometimes be exchanged and learned from Principal Xu Dongcheng.
In fact, before Ding Yue and President Xu Dongcheng came to visit Wucheng University of Arts and Sciences, Ding Yue also did one thing.
That was in the morning. After meeting Liu Ping in the principal's office, Ding Yue learned about the situation in Liu Ping's home, so he asked Huang Youjie to organize a team from the Law School of Wucheng University of Arts and Sciences to provide Liu Ping with legal aid.
Try to let Liu Ping's father see the light as soon as possible.
Liu Ping was very grateful for the help that Principal Ding provided him.
At this moment, Huang Youjie has begun to take people to understand the relevant situation.
Huang Youjie suspects that in this case, there should be official dereliction of duty. If it is not due to dereliction of duty, then it is the person who wrongly convicted the unjust case, trying to get away with it.
But this is obviously impossible, because the criminal suspect in the case has already been arrested, but Liu Ping's father, who was wrongfully imprisoned, has not yet been released.
This is outrageous!
The legal team of Wucheng University of Arts and Sciences has three things to do.
One is to try to release Liu Ping's father as soon as possible.
The second is to strictly investigate the responsibility of those who failed to perform their duties that year.
The third is to help Liu Ping's father apply for state compensation for so many years!
In addition to the legal team of Wucheng University of Arts and Sciences, Huang Youjie also made a suggestion, that is, let the school's media majors report on this classic case, which can cooperate with TV stations and other aspects. .
Due to some previous achievements and honors of Wucheng University of Arts and Sciences, it is more or less related to Wucheng TV and National TV.
Huang Youjie's suggestion, after Ding Yue thought about it, he felt that he could try it.
Because there are so many benefits.
First, the process of this case can be presented to the public through fair reporting.
The second is to improve the ability of students majoring in journalism and media at Wucheng University of Arts and Sciences, which can also be regarded as a practical training for these journalism students.
Furthermore, since Wucheng University of Arts and Sciences has its own journalism major, if the strength of the students majoring in journalism and media is good, Ding Yue can even consider setting up a media platform for Wucheng University of Arts and Sciences.
It seems to be pretty good to be a news media that dares to speak out.
Start with a fake university
