【禁聞】浙大需甚麼校長?校友聲明提訴求

【新唐人2013年06月26日訊】中國「重慶大學」校長林建華將調任「浙江大學」。23號,一份由「浙江大學」校友發表的《浙大需甚麼校長?校友提訴求》的聯合聲明,在網路迅速傳播,聲明主要是針對「浙大新任校長」提出訴求及期望。

「浙江大學」校友在大陸微博發出聲明表示,「浙江大學校長需要的是一位德才兼備的學術帶頭人,是一個學校管理能力得到社會廣泛認可的人。」

據了解,參與聲明的是來自中國大陸以及海外的各地「浙大」校友會,40多名主要負責人。

與此同時,大陸微博網友,也發表了《反對林建華先生擔任浙大校長》的長微博,文章被網友大量轉發。文中第一段就開門見山表示「廣大校友認為,林建華先生非常不適合擔任浙江大學校長」,博主還提出了幾點理由,如林建華的背景等。

據了解,林建華是「北京大學」無機化學專業博士。2010年底擔任「重慶大學」校長。今年3月,「重慶大學」民主湖論壇上一則名為《「重大」之殤——討校長檄》的帖子,曾經引發熱烈討論,這篇《討校長檄》的帖子,矛頭直指林建華所推行的革新舉措。

而《浙大需甚麼校長?校友提訴求》的聯合聲明發起人——法國「浙江大學」校友會會長王曉傑表示,發起「聯合聲明」的動機:「一方面是我們希望有一位德才兼備、年富力強的人士擔任浙大校長一職﹔另方面希望中國高校校長的選拔機制有所改善與健全,制度化、透明化、公開化。」

法國「浙江大學」校友會會長王曉傑﹕「這聯合聲明當中,我們提出了5點人選的標準,一個的話是德才兼備,第二個我們希望校務政策有一個延續性……得必須有一個校長能夠比較長期的在這工作,了解浙大事務,各個部門之間的協調度是非常要緊的……就是說,他的學術造詣得服眾。」

此事在網路上引起軒然大波,網友紛紛跟帖表示﹕「支持!」

網友說,支持校友們用民主的手段發出聲音,這也是全球「浙大」人的聲音!民主精神是我們當今社會極為匱乏的。就衝這一點,「浙大」已經走在了國際化前沿!

浙江大學歷史學退休教授夏瑰琦:「一個校長他底下的人都是高級知識份子,連他們都沒有選舉自己校長的能力的話,那還有甚麼地方可以自由選舉呢?」

還有網友讚賞的表示﹕「六十多年來第一次出現類似的事,後續值得關注!」

不過,24號晚,「浙江大學校友總會」官方微博宣稱,「浙江大學校友總會,從未以浙大校友會名義,發佈任何關於校領導任命的聲明。」

隨後,王曉傑也通過微博再度發出聲明表示,「聯合聲明」上沒有反對上級部門對「浙江大學」校長的任命,只是表達「浙大」校友對校長人選的訴求和期望。

王曉傑﹕「浙江大學校長到今天為止還沒有任命,那麼何來的反對呢﹖我們的聲明的話,是不針對任何人,因為沒有人讓我們去針對,對不對!所以,我們只是提出了訴求,浙大(校長)人選下來了之後,我們會去作評判的。」

原「山東大學」教授孫文廣向《新唐人》表示,上級派來的「新校長」,往往是貫徹當局意圖的人選。孫文廣還透露,中國的大學校長,是由中共黨委來確定人選。

原山東大學教授孫文廣:「有的學校是重點大學,那麼他必須要經過教育部的黨委,中共的組織部,他們來討論決定誰來當校長,一般的大學,省委有一個組織部,有關的教育部的黨委,他們一起商量來任命,最後由國家教育部的名義來任命,但是實際上背後呢,是中共在操盤,任命校長時考慮的,一個是服從黨的領導,第二是堅持社會主義。」

「浙江大學」歷史學退休教授夏瑰琦表示,越來越多的中國大陸民眾渴望民主、自由,開始關心周遭的環境,對一些事情沒有像以前那麼冷漠了。

University Professors Openly Stand Up To The Central Government

Lin Jianhua, the president of Chongqing University
inChina is going to work at Zhejiang University.
On June 23 a statement “What type of president
does Zhejiang University need?”
by Zhejiang University alumni appeared on
the Internet and spread rapidly.
The statement had demands and expectations for
“the new president of Zhejiang University”.

Zhejiang University alumni said in the
statement through microblog
“The president of Zhejiang University should be
an academic leader with integrity and ability.
His or her university management capability
should be widely recognized in society.”

It is understood that more than 40 people mainly
responsible for the alumni associations of
Zhejiang University from the China mainland and
abroad participated in the statement.

At the same time, microbloggers in China
published a long post:
“To go against Mr. Lin Jianhua to serve as
the president of Zhejiang University”,
which was forwarded by many netizens.

It is understood that Lin Jianhua holds an
Inorganic Chemistry Ph.D. degree from Peking University.
He served as the president of Chongqing University
until the end of 2010.
In March this year, an article named “the shame of Chongqing
University” was posted in the Democracy Lake forum.
This sparked intense discussion. The article pointed to the
innovative ideas directly implemented by Lin Jianhua.

Wang Xiaojie, the chairman of Zhejiang University
Alumni Association in France discussed the motives for launching the joint statement.
He said “We hope to find a person who is in the prime of
life with integrity and ability to serve as the president.
We also hope the selection mechanism of
university presidents in China are improved and open with fairness and transparency.”

Wang Xiaojie: “We proposed five standards
for a candidate in the joint statement.
First, we need a candidate with integrity and ability.
Second, we need the continuity of university policy.
We need a president who could work at
Zhangjiang University for a long time.
He or she should be familiar with Zhejiang University affairs.

The degree of coordination between
the various departments is very important.
Therefore, the candidate’s academic attainments
have to convince the public.”

This event caused a great disturbance on the Internet.
Many netizens followed up with support statements.

Several netizens said they support the alumni
to use democratic means of expression.
This is also the voice of Zhejiang University
people all over the world!
Democratic spirit is extremely scarce in today’s society.

On this point, Zhejiang University is
at the international forefront!

Xia Guiqi, retired history professor at Zhejiang University:
“People under the president are his senior intellectuals.
If they do not have the ability to select their presidents,
where else could we have free elections?”

Several netizens also expressed views: “We first came
across this sixty years ago. We are still concerned!”

On the evening of June 24 the official microblog account of
Zhejiang University Alumni Association announced that no
statement was published by them on the appointment of
university leaders under Zhejiang University Alumni Association.”

After that, Wang Xiaojie also issued a statement
through the Microblog.
He said again that the “joint statement” is not opposed
to Zhejiang University president’s appointment.
The alumni just expressed their aspirations and
expectations of the candidates.

Wang Xiaojie: “The president of Zhejiang University
has not been appointed so far.
Who are we going against? Our statement did not point to
anyone directly as there is no one for us to point, right?
We just made demands. Once the Zhejiang University
candidate is revealed, we will go for judgment.”

Sun Wenguang, a former professor at
Shangdong University told NTD TV that
the “new president” set by higher authorities often
carry out the leaders’ intentions as part of getting the post.
Sun Wenguang also revealed that university presidents in
China are put in place by the Communist Party committee.

Sun Wenguang: “Some universities are key universities,

then the presidents must be determined by the
Chinese Communist Party (CCP) committee of the
Ministry of Education or the
Organization Department of the CCP.
For general universities, the presidents are determined
by the provincial CCP organization department and related parts of the Department of Education.
Finally, the presidents are appointed on behalf of the
Ministry of Education. In fact, the CCP is the operator.
To consider the appointment of presidents, the first step is to
obey the CCP. The second is to adhere to the socialism.”

Xia Guiqi, former history professor of Zhejiang University said
that more and more people are hungry for democracy and freedom in China.
People are beginning to care about the environment
around them and are not as cold as before.
