China University is the biggest joke in the history of human civilization. Do you agree?

President of Yale University: China University is the biggest joke in the history of human civilization.

There was no educator in New China, but there was an educator in the Republic of China who was brilliant.

Zeus was driven out of heaven, and power dominated everything.

The hometown of Confucius and Mencius is full of literati who dare not have ideals. fallacious

If the regime is corrupt, then government departments and social institutions will also be horribly corrupt.

China University's adaptation to politics and catering to some people's interests have damaged the pursuit of wisdom and truth.

Beckham Schmidt, the former president of Yale University, recently published an article criticizing China University in Journal of Yale University, which caused a heated debate on China University in American education. Regarding the persistent trend of "becoming bigger and stronger" in China University in recent years, Schmidt said: "They think that society only requires more excellence: more courses, more teachers, more students and more school buildings". "The significance of their scholars' retirement is to bid farewell to the platform of life. Few people are still interested in their major unless it is profitable. They don't have their own real career. " "The principal's retirement and the official's retirement are exactly the same. They must use their power to find a good way out for their children before retirement. " "There was no educator in New China, but there was an educator in the Republic of China who was very clever. "

Regarding the practice of "ranking" China's famous universities among the "top 100 in the world" through the China municipal government or its subordinate institutions, Schmidt quoted kyrk Gard as saying that they were "monarchs in their own rooms". "They regard economic success as educational success and are proud of it. This is the biggest joke in the history of human civilization. "

Recently, there have been a series of "shopping" incidents between teachers and students in China University. Schmidt believes that this is the failure of university education, because "university education liberates people's personality, cultivates people's independent spirit, and also strengthens people's collectivism spirit, making people more willing to cooperate with people and easier to contact people", and "this spirit should run through students and teachers and students". "They intend to engage in academics, but they also regard researchers as shoemakers. No wonder they like to call themselves gardeners. We respect a veritable gardener, but we despise a teacher who has no independent and free thinking spirit. " Schmidt is also deeply worried about the increasingly serious "official standard" system in China University. He said sadly: "Zeus was driven out of the kingdom of heaven, and power dominated everything."

"The academic planning of liberal arts is the scourge of power to thinking, which induces all the scholars in China to be cynics, and they can only fight internally. Lack of moral courage to criticize the world. The hometown of Confucius and Mencius is full of literati who dare not have ideals. Disappointing. " For this reason, Schmidt mocked China University for "losing its center of gravity, direction and tradition" and "losing its curriculum value, being inefficient and wasting greatly".

He smiled and said, "Many people really think they are engaged in education. They attended some of our meetings. We are basically polite and they are not treated with courtesy. "

Due to a series of difficulties caused by the current financial crisis, it is difficult for college students to find jobs. Schmidt said, "As the first person who put forward that education should serve the society, I want to say that we must never forget that college education in universities is not for finding a job, but for living."

He said that universities should "insist on letting young people accept knowledge with the curiosity of civilized people, and there is no need to answer whether it is useful for public utilities, whether it is practical and whether it has social value", otherwise university education will deviate from "loyalty to knowledge".

Schmidt put forward another way to observe academic corruption in China University, such as cheating in exams, plagiarism in papers, scientific research fraud and so on. He said, "Experience tells us that if the regime is corrupt, government departments and social institutions will also be horribly corrupt."

He also said that "a generation of educators in China is not worthy of respect, especially some well-known professors."

Schmidt believes that China University has no real academic freedom. He said that China University's "adaptation to politics and catering to the interests of some people have harmed the pursuit of wisdom and truth".

He pointed out that "the university seems to be the worst and ideal place to breed free ideas and finally express them freely", so the university "must be full of historical sense" and "must respect the developing ideas", and "at the same time, it tends to regard wisdom, even special truth, as a process and a tendency, rather than an entity enshrined in a secret room and completely isolated from the problems that are happening in reality". He said, "Some private education is basically an enterprise that relies on its head to calculate profits.
