论扩大学科设置自主权

On Expanding the Autonomy of Discipline Setting

2024年初国务院学位委员会启动新一轮学位授权审核工作,包括学位授权自主审核单位的申报和审批。该项学位授权的审核,关系我国法学院校特别是重点政法大学能否通过自主设置国家急需学科专业更好服务国家发展战略。加快构建中国特色的法学学科体系,需要解放思想,破除重理工轻文法的固有思维,修订完善现行自主审核单位申请基本条件,赋予高水平政法大学审核授予博士学位学科专业自主权,为更好发挥重点政法院校在法学教育和法学研究中的骨干示范作用提供有力政策和制度保障。

In January 2024,the Academic Degrees Committee of the State Council launched a new round of degree authorization review,including the application and approval of autonomous review units of degree authorization.The review of this degree authorization is related to whether China's law schools,especially key universities of political science and law,can better serve the national development strategy by autonomously setting up disciplines and majors urgently needed by nation.To accelerate the construction of a legal discipline system with Chinese characteristics,it is necessary to liberate the mind,break away from the inherent thinking of valuing science and engineering over humanities and law,revise and improve the basic requirements for application for autonomous review units,grant high-level political science and law universities the autonomy to review and award doctoral degree disciplines,and provide strong policy and institutional guarantees for better playing the backbone and exemplary role of key universities of political science and law in legal education and research.
