Constructe the Public University Spirit and System Under the Guide of the Rule of Law
大学精神,本质上是由大学的组织文化和人文精神积淀凝炼而成的稳定的价值取向。她源之于大学制度和大学有形的文化载体和无形的公共意识,是大学化之于内而形之于外的抽象与具体、物质和非物质复合要素的集中体现。只有建立在法治基础和法治秩序之上,并为全社会一体遵循和捍卫时,大学精神才会在大学中得以真正的生成和发展。大学制度,则是全面落实大学作为法人实体和办学主体所应具有的权利和责任相统一的管理制度,反映着大学与政府和社会关系的治理模式、制度规范和行为准则。大学制度似没有一个在世界范围内完全可以颠扑不破、通行共用的制度模式,它应当也必须与自己所处的本国国情、文化传统和历史阶段相适应,也应当与一定的社会条件和文明程度相匹配。然而,作为域内域外的大学者可以也理应有着某些趋同的大学精神和大学制度。
Essentially, the university spirit is a kind of steady value, which is condensed from the organizational culture and the humanistic spirit of the university. It originates from the university system, the tangible cultural carrier and the intangible public awareness. Also it is the embody of the compound elements like the abstract and concrete, or the tangible and the intangible of the university. Only by establishing on the rule and order of law, and being followed and defended by the whole society, can the university spirit be built and developed. The University System is a management system which can carry out the unification of rights and responsibilities of the university as a legal entity and running subject. It reflects the governance model, the system standard and the standard of behavior of the relationships between university with government and society. There is no system model of university that can be run forever or shared all around the world. It should not only adapt to its national situation, cultural tradition and historical stage, but also match with certain social conditions and civilization. However, whether as a domestic or foreign university, it may and ought to have some converging university spirit and system.
