日本“21世纪COE项目”评审委员会构成分析

The Composition of Evaluation Committee for 21^(st) Century COE Program

21世纪COE项目是日本政府为了创建世界一流大学,针对若干高校优势学科进行重点财政资助的一项政策,项目遴选引入了第三方评审机制。通过对21世纪COE项目评审委员会成员构成的实证研究发现,其成员结构虽然力求多样化,但从最终学历出身和职业经历来看,日本国立大学特别是七所旧帝国大学占据了绝对优势地位,项目评审委员会成员存在性别、学历、职历高度集中现象,评审过程中相互庇护和内部利益输送行为的发生概率增加,影响评审的客观、公平与公正。
