《高等教育法》司法适用二十年:图景、法理与完善

Judicial Application of Higher Education Law in Twenty Years:Prospect,Legal Theory and Improvement

对1999年至2019年中国法院援引《高等教育法》的396份判决书进行分析以讨论《高等教育法》在司法场域实施20年的成就与问题。实证研究表明,《高等教育法》的司法援引率较低,但随着高等教育的发展,该状况有所改善。法院援引《高等教育法》的判决涵盖了民事、行政和刑事等案件类型,但前两种类型居多。《高等教育法》的司法适用在时间、法院区域和层级上并不均衡,援引条文分布较为集中。在实践中,《高等教育法》可操作性有待加强,涉及的行政诉讼案件受理范围有限,针对这一现状,应进一步完善高等教育法律体系,增强条文可操作性,完善《高等教育法》实施机制。

396 judgments of Higher Education Law,cited by Chinese courts from 1999 to 2019,are analyzed to discuss the achievements and problems of the implementation of Higher Education Law in the judicial field for 20 years.Empirical research shows that the judicial citation rate of Higher Education Law is relatively low,but with the development of higher education,the situation has changed.The court’s decision invoking the higher education law covers civil,administrative and criminal cases,but the first two types are more common.The judicial application of higher education law is not balanced in time,court area and level.The cited articles are relatively concentrated.In practice,the operability of higher education law needs to be strengthened,and the scope of administrative litigation cases involved is limited.In view of this situation,we should further improve the legal system of higher education,enhance the operability of provisions,and improve the implementation mechanism of higher education law.
