Who'll enforce campus rules?
(China Daily)
Updated: 2008-07-07 07:21 When a criminal case takes place in a university, it cannot shirk off the responsibilities, but should instead face the loopholes in its daily management, says an article in China Youth Daily. The following is an excerpt: The case of the sneaky snapshots of girl students in Hainan Normal University was recently cracked by the police and the suspect, a boy student in this university, was detained. Soon after that, the university authorities sent a notice to the media, saying that "what the boy student did only represented his personal behavior and cannot represent the university". It is clear that the university authorities were anxious to draw a line between the suspect student and the university itself. This boy student obviously made a big mistake in shooting snaps in girls' dormitories out of curiosity. But in fact, it is the university management's loopholes - the closeness between boy and girl students' dormitories - that make such secret shootings possible. The university explained the suspect student has "psychological problems". Nowadays, universities are all staffed with tutors who are in charge of managing the daily lives of students, caring for problem students. If universities can address the psychological health of students in their daily management, incidents such as the sneaky snapshots may be avoided. (China Daily 07/07/2008 page4) |
