On the afternoon of July 6, in the multi-functional lecture hall on the 5th floor, more than 200 leading cadres of colleges and universities had a serious look, and the words "'Speaking of Discipline by Case', 'Speaking of Virtue by Case', 'Speaking of Virtue by Case', 'Speaking of Responsibility by Case'" were illuminated by the downlights at the top of the hall. The protagonist of the case was Shen Zhili, a former member of the Standing Committee of the Party Committee and vice president of the North China University of Technology, who was notified of "double opening" the day before the conference for serious violations of discipline and law.
"This is the first time in Beijing that colleges and universities have specially organized to carry out the 'case four explanations' warning education." Cai Qi, secretary of the municipal party committee, called for this to promote the political construction of the party in colleges and universities and maintain a good political ecology. Chen Yong, member of the Standing Committee of the Beijing Municipal Party Committee, secretary of the Municipal Discipline Inspection Commission, and director of the Supervision Commission, said in his speech that according to preliminary statistics, since the reform of the supervision system in 2017, a total of 357 cases of violations of discipline and laws in the field of colleges and universities have been investigated and handled by the city's discipline inspection and supervision system, and there are many problems of violations of discipline and laws in the field of colleges and universities, and the increase still occurs.
Ignoring political discipline, the vice president of the university has anonymously falsely accused others more than 20 times, "I trampled on the education cause I love."
At about 3 p.m., the lights dimmed, the staff pressed the play button of the warning educational film, and Shen Zhili's face appeared on the large screens on both sides of the rostrum.
This is the largest warning education meeting in Beijing in the past six months, in addition to the main venue, there are 33 sub-venues, and more than 620 people, including party secretaries, presidents, and discipline inspection committee secretaries of various colleges and universities in the capital, attended the meeting. Xia Linmao, member of the Standing Committee of the Beijing Municipal CPC Committee and secretary of the Education Working Committee, said when presiding over the meeting that all colleges and universities should take the Shen Zhili case as a mirror, comprehensively compare and examine, earnestly grasp rectification and rectification, and give full play to the comprehensive effect of investigating and handling a case, alerting a group, educating one group, and standardizing one party.
"I never thought I'd experience such a scenario in my life." Recalling the moment when she was handcuffed, Shen Zhili, who was nearly a flower armour, issued an irrepressible choking.
Among the main violations of Shen Zhili's discipline, the first to be listed was "serious violations of political discipline and political rules." From 2006 to 2020, due to conflicts with others at work, Shen Zhili made anonymous false accusations to the Central Discipline Inspection Commission, the Beijing Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection, the Inspection Group of the Municipal Party Committee, the Municipal Education Commission and other units more than 20 times, involving 2 colleges and universities and 8 bureau-level leading cadres of the Municipal Party Committee Education Work Committee, causing serious damage to the political ecology of the school.
"It was not until during the organizational review that Shen Zhili admitted that the so-called 'anonymous report' was deliberately fabricated in order to vent her personal dissatisfaction." Li Wei, a member of the Standing Committee of the Beijing Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection, said.
Losing their ideals and convictions, they invited the "little dragon immortals" who engaged in feudal superstitious activities at high prices, "chanted spells and painting charms", and "practiced disasters"; lived in luxury, accumulating millions of yuan spent on beauty and plastic surgery; resisted organizational censorship, and summoned individual teachers and graduates to transfer a large amount of money and property they received in batches... Talking about his series of violations of discipline and law, Shen Zhili showed remorse: "I trampled on the education cause I loved, sorry for my students, I am their negative teaching materials." ”
Seeing this scene, Han Xianzhou, secretary of the party committee of the Capital University of Economics and Business, looked solemn, "Cultivating people with virtue is the fundamental task of our colleges and universities, and those who are teachers and role models have embarked on the road of corruption and degeneration, and the impact is more profound and the lessons are more painful." As a party member and cadre of a college or university, we must strengthen our ideals and beliefs and always remember who I am in front of the students, which is the biggest enlightenment given to us by this case. ”
In the "one acre and three points of land" arbitrarily to get power, acquiesced to occupy the school to introduce high-level talent quota, "power put me in a cage"
The meeting conducted an in-depth analysis of Shen Zhili's case from the perspectives of "discipline," "law," "morality," and "responsibility." The reporter noted that the "common disease" of the fallen leading cadres abusing power for personal gain is also reflected in Shen Zhili -- taking advantage of the convenience of her position in charge of the school's personnel work for a long time, Shen Zhili accepted huge bribes, ignored recruitment regulations, recruitment conditions, and work procedures, and successively helped more than 20 people arrange work, 16 people solved the Beijing hukou, and 11 people joined the North China University of Technology as teachers, counselors, or administrative personnel.
"Shen Zhili arbitrarily gained power in the 'one acre and three points of land' under her jurisdiction, 'relying on the school to eat the school', and the means were diverse." Yang Yuxiang, deputy secretary of the Beijing Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection and deputy director of the Supervision Commission, said for example: With Shen Zhili's acquiescence, a "ghost cadre" with zero school time, zero work experience, and zero archival information had magnificently occupied the valuable quota of high-level talents introduced by the North China University of Technology.
"I didn't put power in a cage, power put me in a cage." Shen Zhili's confession in the warning education film impressed many party members and cadres attending the meeting. In an interview with reporters, Miao Jinxiang, secretary of the party committee of the North China University of Technology, repeatedly mentioned the term "loopholes in the system": "Shen Zhili has been in charge of personnel work for 10 years, turning this work into an 'independent kingdom' where needles cannot be inserted and water cannot be spilled." If we can strictly limit the time for leading cadres to take charge of a certain work, regularly adjust the division of labor, and strictly control the procedures for entering the personnel, the probability of such a thing happening will be greatly reduced. ”
Hu Qiang, member of the Standing Committee of the Party Committee and vice president of the Beijing Film Academy, who was in the sub-venue, also fell into contemplation, "To pass the discipline of honesty and self-discipline well, we not only need the constraints of the external system, but also require leading cadres to always cultivate the virtue of government, often think about the harm of greed, always have a sense of self-discipline, always maintain the reverence for power, and use power prudently." ”
Aiming at common problems, we will continue to exert efforts, and promote the comprehensive and strict management of the university system to develop in depth with the spirit of nails
In addition to informing shen Zhili's case, the conference also sorted out and analyzed a series of typical cases that have occurred in the field of colleges and universities in recent years, extracted common problems from them, and asked the party members and cadres attending the meeting to check and examine and sound the alarm bell. The relevant person in charge of the Beijing Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection and Supervision said that the holding of a warning education meeting for the college and university system is not only an important measure to implement the deployment of the fifth plenary session of the Central Discipline Inspection Commission and adhere to the integration of the "three noes," but also a powerful hand to further expand the breadth and depth of the "second half of the article" of discipline enforcement review, and to do solid warning education at different levels and classifications.
"This warning education will use the things around us to warn the people around us, and it will be very timely, which is of great significance to deepening the reform of the discipline inspection and supervision system and promoting the high-quality development of colleges and universities." Ma Huaide, deputy secretary of the party committee and president of China University of Political Science and Law, said.
"We profoundly realize that colleges and universities are not pure land, and the ivory tower needs to be more clean and upright, and the comprehensive and strict management of the party must not change the attitude, the determination is not reduced, and the scale is not loose." Zheng Jichun, executive deputy secretary of the Education Working Committee of the Beijing Municipal Cpc Committee, said.
Taking the case as a lesson, we must also use the case to promote reform. Miao Jinxiang told reporters that in view of the problems exposed by the Shen Zhili case, such as the laxity and softness in managing the party and governing the party, the party committee of the North China University of Technology tightly twisted the bull's nose of serious political life within the party, and promoted democratic life to produce the results of "red face and sweating." "Pushing the heart before the meeting and talking through the heart; at the meeting, self-criticism was not hidden, and mutual criticism went straight to the main theme and showed no mercy; in this process, the cohesion of the leading body was enhanced, and the role of changing the style of work and building up healthy trends in the whole school was played." ”
At the same time, the North China University of Technology has carried out integrity risk investigation in key areas such as enrollment, infrastructure, logistics, finance, and personnel, continuously improved the relevant systems, and through measures such as opening the Standing Committee to second-level colleges, it has gone deep into the departments to investigate political construction and career development, and promoted the comprehensive and strict management of the party to develop in depth.
"As a supervision and inspection office that specializes in contacting colleges and universities, in our work, we have found that there are weak links in the comprehensive and strict management of the party in some colleges and universities, and the situation in the anti-corruption struggle is still grim and complicated. We will continue to strengthen supervision and inspection of the operation of power and continue to maintain a high-pressure anti-corruption posture. Xu Hang, director of the Seventh Supervision and Inspection Office of the Beijing Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection, introduced.
Ensuring the high quality of college education in colleges and universities with the high quality of comprehensively and strictly administering the party is an important task of colleges and universities in the capital. Wu Fu, secretary of the Discipline Inspection Committee of Chinese Min University, said: "Shen Zhili has been a 'professional cadre' for many years, and she does not pay attention to the study of the party's political theory. We must continue to exert efforts to target this key issue, promote the leading cadres of party members in colleges and universities to firmly establish political awareness, and fight and win this tough battle with the spirit of nails.
