Who Governs?——On the Central Bodies of University Governance
The question of"who governs?",which concerns the central bodies of governance,is a basic problem that ensures the effectiveness of governance.We can,to a certain extent,find the cause for the governance of all universities from the central bodies of governance.From the perspective of the organizational boundary,a university has internal and external central bodies,and they in general entrust other departments to act for them according to the administrative level;according to their roles,they are divided into fictitious and natural central bodies,with the former ultimately acting by the agency of the latter;and according to their functions,they are classified into potential and actual central bodies.Subjectivity is the basis of consciousness and ability for the central bodies to play potential and actual roles.The excitation and rise of subjectivity needs continuous enlightenment.The internal and external central bodies are both the subject and the object of enlightenment;excitation is the governance strategy of both internal and external central bodies.The discourse of governance cannot stay at the abstract or legal level from the fictional central body;instead,it should start from the position of the natural person,and run through the responsibility,ability and action of the natural person.Only by an in-depth discussion of subjectivity,including intersubjectivity and public subjectivity,can we answer the relevant questions of"who governs a university"and"how it is governed."
