7 On the morning of March 9, the School of Tropical Agriculture and Forestry of Hainan University was established at the original site of the "Two Colleges" in Danzhou City, Hainan Province. This means that the former South China University of Tropical Agriculture and the former Hainan University have only maintained a short period of 9 years since their merger in 2007. The "marriage" between young and beautiful people was separated, and they broke up.
Some people may ask: Doesn’t the College of Tropical Agriculture and Forestry still carry the brand name of Hainan University? Aren't you still Guihai's chief steward? If you really think that Hainan University can control the College of Tropical Agriculture and Forestry for a long time, I can only laugh.
I think that the reason why the Haid brand is temporarily retained is due to transitional needs. This is like the divorce of a couple, the ownership of child custody, and the division of property. It all requires a process and cannot be done hastily; The second is to save some "face" for Hainan University. Just imagine, if Hainan University, which is already weak in strength, suddenly separates so many disciplines and talents, its vitality will be severely damaged, and even its martial arts will be exhausted. The road ahead will be full of thorns and bumps; Third, and a very important point: if Hainan University suddenly lets go of the College of Tropical Agriculture and Forestry, it would be tantamount to publicly admitting that the merger of Renong University and Hainan University was a failure, and admitting how bad the relationship between the two parties has been over the past nine years and how unharmonious they have been. . Accordingly, someone should take responsibility for this mess of dividing and reuniting, moving things around, causing a huge waste of resources. At least you have to bear some notoriety.
Sooner or later, the Haida brand will be erased from the name of the College of Tropical Agriculture and Forestry. This is the general trend. In the official statement, the College of Tropical Agriculture and Forestry is also "relatively independent".
The construction goal of the College of Tropical Agriculture and Forestry is to be based in Hainan, facing the tropics and ASEAN, and build a domestic first-class and world-renowned tropical agriculture and forestry higher education institution. The college will expand and utilize the educational conditions of the Danzhou campus and consists of the School of Tropical Crops, the School of Tropical Forestry, the School of Horticulture and Landscape Architecture, the School of Environment and Plant Protection, and the School of Biology.
In order to recruit students in time for this fall, the College of Tropical Agriculture and Forestry initiated the initiative in May and officially launched it in early July, which only took about 50 days. During this period, Hainan Governor Liu Cigui visited Danzhou's "Two Academies" for investigation, chaired a special meeting of the provincial government, facilitated and witnessed the signing of contracts between Hainan Province and the Ministry of Agriculture, the State Forestry Administration and other departments, and promoted tropical agriculture and forestry in a supervisory manner. The birth of the academy. The process seemed a bit rushed, but busy and orderly. We should applaud Governor Liu and others for their foresight. But we also regret to see that to this day, the development and management of education still cannot escape the consciousness of senior officials. Nine years ago, Renong University and Hainan University were merged just by the leader's words. Today, the Tropical Agriculture and Forestry College was established by the same leader's words. I believe that many people in the two academies and even Hainan people feel very uncomfortable, extremely resistant and angry, but they are not interested in it.
On July 9, Hainan University’s College of Tropical Agriculture and Forestry was established in Danzhou’s “Two Colleges”
Nine years ago, the young Hainan University, founded in 1983, wanted to declare It is a 211 school, but its qualifications are shallow and it does not even have a doctoral degree. It is impossible to apply successfully. With the joint promotion of Hainan Province, the Ministry of Agriculture and the Ministry of Education, Hainan University staged a "snake swallows the elephant" show. , merged with South China University of Tropical Agriculture. What was the situation at Renong University at that time? "Historical materials" provide us with a rough reference:
Renong University is the only university in China that combines an academy of sciences with a university, has distinctive tropical characteristics, and integrates agriculture, engineering, science, management, literature, and law. Comprehensive agricultural university.
The school was founded in 1958, including Danzhou campus and Haikou campus, with more than 12,000 students. Internationally renowned scientists such as Lin Chentao, Yao Shujie, Chen Zhangliang, and Zheng Xiaobo graduated from the school. Many national leaders have visited the school to inspect and provide guidance. "Danzhou State Founded, Treasure Island Takes Root" inscribed by Premier Zhou Enlai represents the glorious tradition of the people of the two colleges and is the most dazzling and precious signboard of the two colleges. The name of the school was inscribed by Jiang Zemin in the mid-1990s. Over the past 50 years, the school has achieved more than 900 scientific and technological achievements, including the first prize of the National Invention Award and the first prize of the National Science and Technology Progress Award, some of which are at the leading international level. China has miraculously risen from a blank country in rubber planting to the world's fifth rubber-producing country.
The school has strong teaching staff and scientific research capabilities.
It has more than 400 senior professional and technical personnel and more than 700 intermediate professionals; including 125 experts enjoying government subsidies, 6 experts with outstanding contributions at the national level, 16 experts with outstanding contributions at the ministerial level, and 22 experts with provincial excellence.
The school has 12 colleges with complete education levels, including 1 national key discipline, 2 ministerial key disciplines, 3 provincial key disciplines; 1 postdoctoral mobile station; 11 doctoral degrees Authorization points, 33 master's degree authorization points, 1 professional master's degree authorization point, 35 general undergraduate majors, 8 applied undergraduate majors, and 22 higher vocational college majors.
The Chinese Academy of Tropical Agricultural Sciences, which is closely integrated with the school, has 10 research institutes, 3 experimental stations, 1 national key laboratory and 1 national engineering technology research center, with 5 The ministerial-level testing center, 4 ministerial-level key laboratories, 3 provincial-level key laboratories and 1 analysis and testing center enjoy a high reputation domestically and internationally.
At that time, many people from the two colleges opposed the merger of the two schools and ran around to appeal and try to turn the tide, but in the end, it was to no avail. Some alumni of the two colleges chose the next best thing and wrote to Hainan Province, hoping that Hainan could take into account the respective advantages and characteristics of the two colleges and take into account the feelings of the alumni of the two colleges. The new school after the merger would use "Renong University" instead of "Renong University". "Haida", the results show that the alumni are just wishful thinking.
Shenzhen alumni of the two colleges once signed a signature to oppose the merger of Renong University and Hainan University
“The original decision-makers believed that the bigger the university, the better. The merger of institutions has formed a trend across the country. , all schools are merging, junior colleges are turning into colleges, colleges are turning into universities, and universities need to be bigger. Many agricultural colleges were merged at that time. Even if many people opposed it, they could not stop it. Chen Kaikui, director of the archives, said this.
The rights and wrongs of college mergers remain to be tested over time, but some negative effects are already obvious. Policymakers should be well aware of this. Otherwise, there would be no embarrassing farce of hasty merger and hasty separation. This is what happens in China. When you do something, you don't think about it. After you've done it, you review it. After you review it, you find ways to correct your mistakes.
The price has been paid, can the correction return it to its original state?
It is conceivable that many Hainan University faculty and staff who have just moved from Danzhou to Haikou a few years ago and have long been accustomed to life in the provincial capital will move their families from Haikou back to Dan in the next month or two. state. The Institute of Thermal Sciences, which is busy moving from Danzhou to Haikou, will also be called back "midway" - without the support of the Institute of Thermal Sciences, the Institute of Tropical Agriculture and Forestry is destined to be incomplete. The long-abandoned and dilapidated school buildings will also be reused and restored to vitality and vitality.
In fact, the Institute of Thermal Sciences has received an invitation from Hainan University to become the “first construction” unit of the College of Tropical Agriculture and Forestry. In addition, Fujian Agriculture and Forestry University, Danzhou Municipal Government, Hainan Academy of Agricultural Sciences, etc. will also participate in the "*** construction". There are as many as six or seven "parents" and brothers and sisters of the Tropical Agriculture and Forestry College. In other words, the status of the Thermo Scientific Research Institute, which has supported and supported each other, achieved mutual success, and gone through half a lifetime of hardships with Renong University, is no longer so important. The two houses have long since turned into the smoke and dust of history.
In any case, the birth of the College of Tropical Agriculture and Forestry can be regarded as a kind of psychological and emotional reconstruction for the people of the two colleges who felt regretful and lost due to the loss of their alma mater. At least everyone does not have to worry about the complete disappearance of the "two colleges" , in the end there was not even a nostalgic place to be found. This land far away from the hustle and bustle, where countless people have spent their youthful years, will still exist in the name of campus, with constant cultural context and incense, energetic faces, the sound of Lang Lang's books, white-haired gentlemen, beautiful girls, ideals and Love will still thrive here, intertwined with the rich southern customs.
