Analysis and Optimization of the Self-Determined"First-class Discipline"Policy
In the second round of the"double first-class"construction project,a new policy was introduced to empower individual universities to independently select the constructing disciplines.This policy has rich connotations in the process of deepening reform of higher education in China for the time being.A comprehensive analysis was conducted from four dimensions based on the basic policy analysis framework,namely fact,value,norm,and feasibility.From the perspective of policy fact,it is an inevitable requirement for the policy innovation capability at the new stage of building a strong country in higher education,a practical need for continuously improving its policy innovation capability at the new stage of building world-class universities,and a substantive exploration and measure made at the new stage of deepening higher education reform.From the perspective of policy value,it can boost the institutional confidence in the development of world-class universities in China,serves as a value-recognition for the policy implementation objects on their subjectivity of school-running,and can generate demonstration value for other educational entities.From the perspective of policy norm,the self-determined construction of disciplines is a major policy innovation at the new stage of world-class universities construction,which calls for the enhancement of macro-level policy guidance on the basis of fully respecting the decision-making rights of school-running subjects.From the perspective of policy feasibility,the pilot of this policy has both technical and economic feasibility.At the new stage of comprehensively building a strong country in higher education,it is necessary to further optimize and improve this policy measure from the following aspects:further enhancing the government's macro policy innovation capability in higher education,further improving the internal governance system of universities to enhance their autonomy,and further exploring and refining the development model of world-class universities with Chinese characteristics.
