对民办高校当前境遇与用地问题的思考

Reflections on the Current Situation and Land Problem of Private Colleges and Universities

民办高校正面临一个好的发展时期,这是不言而喻的。但是,民办院校面临的困难也很大,一是学历教育规模红利不再有;二是随着经济下滑、居民收入增长进入稳定期,学校靠提高学费增加收入的路子,走到了尽头;三是办学竞争日趋激烈,国内外各类大学都成为生源争夺的对手;四是办学起点和标准的提高,加大了办学成本;五是社会风险压力加大;六是我国新时期民办院校的先天不足,没有大资本的积累又难以得到国家、社会或国外的资金帮助。客观地说,民办院校在合理经营下的日子过得很艰难。在诸项困难中,土地问题尤为突出,建议国家设定大学校园应以“够用”为原则,而且无论是非营利性还是营利性学校,土地的供给都应该由国家统一规划、无偿划拨。

Private colleges are no doubt facing a good period of development.Fairly enough,the difficulties they are facing are also great.Firstly,their profit based on scale sees its end.Secondly,with the economic downturn and citizens,income growth going into the stable period,it,s no longer possible for schools to rely on raising tuition to increase their income.Thirdly,the competition for source of students has become fiercer and fiercer since all kinds of domestic and foreign universities joined the fight.Fourthly,the higher starting point and standard increases the cost of running a school.The fifth is the social risk pressure is increasing.The last is that ChinaJ s private schools are congenitally deficient in capital accumulation and hard to get financial help from the government,the society or abroad.Basically,private institutions are living a very difficult life.In particular,the land problem is most prominent.In this paper,the author suggests that the stipulation about the acreage of universityJ s campus should follow the principle of use-sufficiency,and the land of a college,whether it is non-profit or for-profit,should be supplied by the state exclusively and free of charge.
