In the restaurant of a well-known 985 university in China, the so-called "full professor's dining area" has been openly set up.
The starting point of this approach may be good, but this form of presentation is still a bit ignorant and absurd, unconsciously artificially creating antagonism, distinguishing classes, and increasing hatred, and behind it may be the so-called concubinism, or even servile culture.
龙兴春教授公开批判西北工业大学设立“正教授就餐区”
According to public information, Professor Long Xingchun is a professor of international relations at a university in Sichuan, who claims to be an observer of international affairs and has 1 million followers in Toutiao.
Professor Long Xingchun publicly published an article reprimanding Northwestern Polytechnical University's practice of "setting up a dining area for full professors". He believes that different levels can be different in terms of treatment settings, in order to play an incentive role, but when it comes to food, there should be no more differential treatment.
In addition, Professor Long Xingchun also believes that "professors can only show that they have made great contributions in the past, and it may be associate professors and lecturers who have made great contributions in the present and future,"
西北工业大学回应，确实设立了教授就餐区
有记者致电西北工业大学，试图核实相关情况，学校后勤集团饮食服务中心，向记者证实了“正教授就餐区”的存在。
对方表示，设立这个教授就餐区，其实是为了体现教授的福利待遇，对于该就餐区，在菜品价格方面，学校是有相应补贴的。
In addition, the staff also gave feedback to reporters, "This restaurant should have been open for a long time, and we will also give feedback to the higher departments for the heated discussions caused on the Internet." ”
如此做法，也许是好心办坏事，但其背后很难说不是臣妾主义在泛滥
The establishment of this "full professor's dining area" may be to motivate professors to produce greater research and development results.
On the one hand, it can make the professors have a better dining environment, and at the same time, it is also convenient for the professors to have some necessary academic exchanges during the meal.
On the other hand, entering this dining area is also a status symbol, which can serve as an incentive for value recognition and belonging.
But what would you think if such a sign openly appeared in the school cafeteria and was shown to others?
This is an important watershed, not something that small people like us can enter casually, only full professors can use it, not associate professors, which invisibly makes full professors "isolated" in disguise. It is easy to leave "pigtails" for others and become a topic of conversation after dinner.
For those who propose to do this, or support it, they may think in their bones that it is unfair between people, and that different levels should be treated differently, eating, going to the toilet, and being hospitalized.
These people make the mistake of confusing these with the concept of "more work and more reward". You do well and can give you more rewards, and you can also take these rewards and buy what you like.
However, in terms of satisfying these basic needs such as eating, seeing a doctor, and even going to the toilet, at least in the same unit, we should no longer distinguish between three, six, nine, etc., and should treat everyone equally, fully embodying the concept of "the world is for the public, and it is said to be the same".
独乐乐不如众乐乐，与其搞特殊、“吃小灶”，不如深入普通教职工、学生周围，与民同乐
Imagine if you were in a university cafeteria, and you could see our university professors, and even school leaders, sitting and dining together with our classmates and teachers, wouldn't that be a wonderful picture?
Students, you may look forward to eating every day, which professor will sit next to me at dinner today? Can you take this opportunity to ask some questions, even if it is to communicate with you about life, it is very good.
For students, they can learn more knowledge or life experience from professors, and professors can also take this opportunity to gain an in-depth understanding of students' real thoughts.
The key is to really establish a channel for professors and students to communicate, so that the communication in the scene will definitely be more relaxed, natural and interesting than in the classroom.
On the contrary, if students go to the cafeteria to eat and never see a big professor or a school leader, it is inevitable that they will think that it seems that these "big people" have gone to "open small stoves", and they completely look down on the ordinary restaurants we eat.
In the long run, the relationship between professors and students will be easily severed, and the establishment of a good teacher-student rapport will only become a "castle in the air" of wishful thinking.
