In his address, Secretary of SDUT Party Committee Lv Chuanyi pointed out that over the first half of the year, with the joint efforts of all staff, everything at SDUT has gone well especially in the aspects of teaching and scientific research, of society service, of student management, logistics and of Party buildings.
In relation to the way in which leaders of mid-level and above can play a critical role, Lv stressed that these leaders should keep in mind the political discipline, teachers and students, responsibilities and learning.
These leaders should first keep the political discipline in mind, as Lv emphasized, because the discipline always sets the standards of political direction, stance, statements and action; hence, leaders should prioritize the political discipline, raise “four awareness,” and align their speeches and actions with CPC. He then persuaded them to to be incorruptible and self-disciplined when they performed their duties and exercised their power, reminding them not to take the chance that they could have a prospect even if they were accused of corruption. Lv encouraged the leaders to normalize criticism and self-criticism.
Lv also said that leaders should bear teachers and students in mind. Education is the noblest cause of human beings, so educators should foremost feel noble. “Loving students and teachers” is the basic requirement for a qualified university leader, which also reflects the aim of school administration, said Lv Chuanyi. He demanded the leaders to give priority to the interests of teachers and students, to do more practical things and to solve problems for them, with their concerns in mind.
The Secretary then encouraged the leaders to shoulder the responsibility of SDUT future development because school cause is a matter of integrated cooperation; therefore, each department, school, institute should take the corresponding responsibility, summarizing previous work done and making plans for future work to be done.
At last, Lv asked the leaders to keep studying to be able to solve the problems encountered in the development and reform of higher education. “We may probably get in the state of ability panic, so we should keep on studying theories, learning from practice and role models around us, and enriching and improving ourselves” said Lv.
