"Can bed curtains be installed in student dormitories so that students can have a private space?" The academic and engineering department of Xinjiang Medical University recently convened a symposium with student cadres from some colleges, and the students put forward opinions and suggestions on all aspects of the school's work
According to the website of Xinjiang Medical University, after research by relevant departments of the school, Xinjiang Medical University has replied to the students' opinions and suggestions. Among them, in response to the question of whether bed curtains can be installed in the dormitory, the reply said: the student apartment is a densely populated place, and there are certain fire safety hazards in hanging bed curtains in the dormitory, and the bed curtain is a flammable product.
Colleges and universities have issued:
The bed curtain was drawn, "blocking" the security
"Just imagine, if everyone lives behind the bed curtain, I wonder if there will still be a 'brother who sleeps on my top bunk' like feelings?" Xinjiang Agricultural University College of Water Conservancy and Civil Engineering released an article on March 20 "Closed the bed curtain, "blocked" safety", said that in recent years, more and more college students like to hang bed curtains. There are many reasons, such as: playing games by yourself affects the rest of others, and you can better protect your privacy. However, the hanging bed curtain in the dormitory has serious potential safety hazards, which affects the cleanliness and lighting of the dormitory, affects the physical and mental health of students, and is not conducive to the communication between students.
Colleges and universities in many places have banned students from using bed curtains
The reporter noticed that many colleges and universities have banned students from hanging bed curtains. In January this year, Northwest University for Nationalities issued management measures for student apartments, strictly prohibiting students from hanging door curtains and bed curtains (cloth curtains) in the dormitory. On March 27, the Department of Foreign Languages of Gansu Normal University for Nationalities held a meeting of dormitory directors for the spring semester of 2024, and also demanded that behaviors such as pulling bed curtains without permission should be prohibited. Hebei Zhangjiakou University has also recently carried out the "special rectification of bed curtains in student dormitories".
In November 2023, Jilin Agricultural University issued the "Work Arrangement for Safety and Fire Prevention in Student Apartments", which strictly prohibits hanging bed curtains and hanging chairs in the dormitory. In July 2023, China University of Petroleum (East China) also issued the "Notice on Carrying out Special Rectification Work on Safety and Health in Student Dormitories", prohibiting the hanging of bed curtains.
At present, Beijing and other places have clearly stipulated in the "Acceptance Standards for Standardized Apartments in Colleges and Universities" that there should be no beds in the dormitories. According to the news on the website of Communication University of China in October 2019, the logistics service hall of Communication University of China revealed in response to students' comments about "why bed curtains are prohibited in the dormitory", and the "Acceptance Standards for Standardized Apartments of Beijing Universities" stipulates that there are no beds in the dormitory. The "Standards for Standardized Student Apartments in Beijing Colleges and Universities (2008 Edition)" mentions in the "Hygiene and Environment" section that "no bed circumference" is worth 1 point, and the "Acceptance Standards for Standardized Student Apartments in Beijing Universities (2016 Edition)" also stipulates in the "Hygiene and Environment" section that "no bed" is worth 0.5 points.

Counselor: "Invisible Wall"
Blocking safety and interpersonal interactions
"Why has the dormitory bed fence become an 'invisible wall' for safety hazards and interpersonal communication?" said a counselor signed article on the website of Nanyang Normal University in Henan Province on March 28, explaining in detail why "the seemingly simple decorative act of hanging a bed fence is often strictly restricted by the school."
According to the article, the bed circumference, as a kind of cloth or plastic shield, is very easy to ignite and become a medium for the acceleration of the fire. In 2019, a female student at a university forgot to turn off the power after using an illegal electrical appliance "electric splint" in her dormitory, and when her roommates were all going to class, the electric splint continued to heat, causing a fire, which quickly ignited the bed wall next to her, and then began to burn in a large area, and a fire broke out in the dormitory.
In addition, "dormitory administrators may need to frequently lift the bed girth when checking hygiene and facilities, which not only increases the workload, but may also cause dissatisfaction among students, and it seems unfair not to lift the bed girth for inspection." In the event of a student illness or other emergency, bed circumference may hinder timely detection and rescue, the article said. In June 2020, a school official said that there had been an incident in the dormitory where a student fell ill and died in a bed covered by the bed enclosure, and was not discovered by a roommate until two days later.
According to the article, the bed wall usually encloses the bed tightly, resulting in poor air circulation, which is easy to breed bacteria, mites and other harmful substances, posing a threat to students' respiratory system and skin health. Especially when heating or air conditioning is used in winter or summer, bed circumference can hinder the even distribution of hot and cold air, resulting in uneven temperatures in the dormitory. When the bed is hung up, the ventilation and lighting in the dormitory will be affected. Being in such an environment for a long time is not only not conducive to physical health, but may also cause psychological depression. If the material and design of the bed circumference does not meet safety standards, there may be risks such as strangulation and suffocation, especially for sleeping students.
"The dormitory is not only a place to rest, but also an important place for students to exchange feelings and build friendships. The article said that the existence of the bed fence has invisibly erected an "invisible wall" in the dormitory, hindering the communication and communication between students. Some students reported that because their roommates hung up their beds, they felt that there was less communication between them, and the dormitory atmosphere became indifferent. In the long run, this kind of estrangement can lead to interpersonal tensions and even conflicts in the dormitory. Dormitory life is a key scenario for college students to exercise their social skills, and a moderate shared space helps students to open their hearts, respect each other, and understand and tolerate each other. Hanging bed fences may make students pay too much attention to personal space and ignore the collective interest, which is not conducive to cultivating students' teamwork spirit and sense of public responsibility. In the absence of beds, it is easier for students to interact face-to-face and participate in group activities in the dormitory, which leads to closer team spirit and friendship.

Bed curtain problem
Is there only one size fits all?
Youth Daily Youth Shanghai commentator Zhang Yilin
For example, a medical university announced last month that it would not allow bed curtains to be installed in student dormitories. The reason given by the school is that the bed curtain is a flammable product, which has a potential fire safety hazard, and once it is fired, it may threaten the life and property safety of students.
It has been a habit for decades to hang bed curtains in college dormitories, but it is worth thinking about when there is a trend of hard prohibition today.
University dormitories, as well as other dormitories, are both public and private. Involving public nature, such as public morality and public safety, requires hard rules and regulations to maintain. Most university dormitories prohibit the use of electric stoves, electric cups and other electronic heating equipment, prohibit open flames, and prohibit the storage of flammable and explosive dangerous goods, because these items themselves are highly dangerous. Obviously, bed curtains do not belong to this category, as some students said, "If bed curtains are also considered flammable, then what about bed sheets, bedding, and pillowcases?"
Confidentiality should also be taken into account when formulating rules to maintain the communality of dormitories. As the most private space in the dormitory, the bed curtain often means the boundary of private territory. Some school counselors said that bed curtains are like "invisible walls", blocking interpersonal interactions, which is nonsense. Social interaction has an autonomous nature, the bed curtain in the dormitory is not an invisible wall, but a social signal light, and pulling up the bed curtain means turning on the red light and entering the private time of the individual. If the traffic lights are forcibly removed, it may cause social disruption and discomfort for some students. Pulling the bed curtain with the interpersonal barrier is also purely overstepping.
College dormitories are a community, and dormitory governance needs to be refined, legalized, and humanized. The rule of law is rigid, and there are laws and regulations to protect rights in violation of laws and regulations; humanization is flexible, and in view of the problems that may be brought about by hanging bed curtains in the dormitory, such as advocating students to only close the bed curtains at night when sleeping or changing clothes, and opening them during the daytime living hours, such as advocating students to purchase bed curtains made of fireproof materials with good breathable properties.
As for how to achieve both rigidity and softness, we must work refinement. College dormitories should not only emphasize "colleges and universities" and ignore "dormitories", but only emphasize security and ignore students' privacy needs. As the unit closest to the youth group, colleges and universities should think about what students think, solve students' difficulties, and when formulating each school rule, they can look at it from the perspective of students, so as to fill the sense of service, so as to truly resolve all kinds of contradictions.
A few years ago, in order to maintain the appearance of the city, a certain place implemented a policy of prohibiting the posting of Spring Festival couplets on both sides of the main road, which led to great dissatisfaction among the people. This kind of one-size-fits-all policy that only stands in the perspective of managers, subjective and blind extensive governance, should be eliminated by the times. The best of both worlds is the high realm of community governance, and this "whole" should take into account the management efficiency and service awareness, and the governance of colleges and universities should also strengthen the sense of service, strengthen the communication between the school and students, eliminate the concept of hierarchy in campus life, and become a confidant of students. Through refined management, the opposition between public safety and personal privacy in the dormitory is resolved into harmony and unity, and a good living and learning space is created for students.
