Transitioning from Bureaucracy to Open Source:Pursuing Enhanced University Governance in the Digital Era
The governance model of universities in the digital era should shift from a hierarchical bu-reaucracy towards an open-source and open-access approach.Openness is inherently a core value of uni-versity education.While traditional concepts of openness have primarily emphasized political dimensions such as fairness and equity,the open source and open access approach in the digital intelligence era em-phasizes promoting knowledge production,discovery,and innovation from a production dimension.U-niversity digital governance,characterized by open-source principles,involves three key aspects:ex-panding governance issues with a balanced focus on power distribution and promoting openness;the di-versification of governance actors with multi-party collaboration,where the primary and secondary roles vary over time;and the shared and transparent governance logic,determined by the digital ecosystem of universities based on data operations.In building digital governance in Chinese universities,it is crucial to:strengthen data awareness and build centralized data platforms;adhere to principles of openness and sharing by restructuring the industry-academia-research system to enhance collaboration and knowledge exchange;and emphasize open innovation,encouraging universities to engage in societal development through various initiatives and partnerships actively.
