The Basic Problem of College Reform Lies in Raising the Teaching Level,the Academic Level,and the Management Level

We completely agree with the guidelines on reform enunciated by leading comrades at the center. Through discussion we come to see that the reform in college work is aimed at raising the quality of teaching and the level of scientific research, breaking away from the situation of "everybody eating from the same big pot," implementing the policy toward intellectuals, and arousing the socialist enthusiasm of all teachers and staff members of the university to train more and better talented people for the four modernizations. The allegation that reform is designed merely to increase income and improve the economic situation of young and middle-aged intellectuals is one-sided and not fundamental. As some teachers have said during the discussions, if our orientation is changed just to increase our income each month, the university leadership will be condemned after a number of years.
