当代中国大学章程的法律效力之辩

Legal Effects of University Chapters in Contemporary China

目前对于大学章程的法律效力,学界众说纷纭,先后存有"契约说"、"自治法说"、"公法性说"等不同认识,这严重影响了我国大学章程的良性发展。实际上,从根本上来说,大学章程的法律效力不可能从这些理论逻辑中获得,其更多地需要从外部的法律化途径中引入,需要检验其是否已经满足外部法律要件的各项程序。只有如此,当代中国大学章程的法律效力才是具有正当性的,才能真正成为化解大学内部纠纷的基本依据,从而立足为高等学校的"宪法"和"根本大法"。

There are various opinions on the legal effects of university chapters, and there exist ＂contract theory＂, ＂autonomy law theory＂ and ＂theory of public law＂, which has affected the prosperous development of university chapters. As a matter of fact, the legal effects of university chapters cannot be obtained out of these theoretic logics, and should be introduced from outer legal approaches and should be validated by outer legal elements. Only in this way can the legal effects of university chapters be justified, can they be the base for the resolution of inner disputes, and can they be the ＂institutions＂ and ＂fundamental laws＂ of higher schools.
