第一屆“中荷公法論壇”
高等教育的可及性、責任與自治：中國、歐洲和比較法的視角
2018年4月14日 （周六）
北京，中國
在當下知識推動型的社會中，高等教育的重要性不言自明——大學精神成為一個時代重要的剪影。近年來，大學承載了不同的社會功能并被寄予不同的期待，也引發了多種面向的思考和讨論。從法律角度而言，高等教育法面臨的主要挑戰可歸納為三類：可及性、責任與自治。
首先，高等教育的可及性豐富地拓展了我們對“受教育權”内涵與外延的理解。當下我們對接受教育機會、教育資源分配的平等與公正性有了更多的期待。 此外，高等教育的可負擔性也日益成為社會關注的問題 。在中國，這些問題伴随着戶籍制度、高考和财政改革等引發了長久的争論。在荷蘭和歐洲其他國家，多起事件表明個别具有性格缺陷的學生可能威脅其他師生的人身安全，進而影響高校的教學秩序和整體安全。這些學生能否被禁止入學也引發了當下對高等教育可及性的讨論。
其次， 高等教育在現代社會中的突出地位決定了對其進行質量控制的重要性，由此引發的是對責任問題的關注。誰對高等教育的質量控制負責？對誰負責？通過何種方式負責？是通過同行評議的方式來對高等教育的質量進行控制，其中政府僅設定一些最低的質量标準，還是高等教育的重要性本身允許政府在教育質量的保障和評估上進行更深的介入？在當下中國“雙一流”建設、教學評估的熱潮中，政府在高等教育質量控制和資源分配中扮演何種角色？行政法又起到或應當起到什麼作用？這些都是值得我們思考的問題。
再次，與責任要求密切關聯的另一個問題是大學和學者的學術自治問題。學術自由的内涵是什麼？大學可以主張自己有免于政府幹預的學術自由嗎？學者可以主張自己有免于高校行政幹預的學術自由嗎？對于“學術自由”的規制有何種表現方式和替代機制？自治問題同樣也關乎高校和學生的關系。在學生管理中，高校可主張的學術自由的界限在哪裡？在何種情境下，司法介入和審查可被正當化？
上述問題并非個别國家所特有，而是許多國家共同面對的問題，這也凸顯了比較法的意義和價值。鑒于此，我們很高興地宣布“中荷公法論壇”開幕，并将“高等教育的可及性、責任與自治：中國、歐洲和比較法的視角”作為第一期論壇的主題。我們邀請學者就下述三個話題展開讨論，并向我們投稿：
· 高等教育的可及性
· 高等教育的責任
· 高等教育的自治
無論您的大作是曆史研究、經驗研究亦或理論建構，是國别研究還是比較視角，是法學研究還是交叉學科研究，我們都真誠期待您的投稿。
此外，為了給青年學者構建一個學術交流和對話的平台，此次會議特設博士生和碩士生單元，旨在激勵青年學子投身學術研究和寫作，我們會邀請知名學者擔任此單元的評議嘉賓。

· Pieter Huisman，荷蘭伊拉斯姆斯鹿特丹大學，教育法教授
· Stefan Phillipsen, 荷蘭伊拉斯姆斯鹿特丹大學，教育法博士，講師

Call for Papers
“Sino-Dutch Public Law Forum”
Accessibility, Accountability and Autonomy of Higher Education:
China, Europe and Beyond
14 April 2018
Beijing, China
The importance of universities in contemporary knowledge-driven societies can hardly be overstated. In recent years universities have been confronted with different expectations of the societies they serve. These expectations can be grouped under three headings: autonomy, accountability and accessibility.
Firstly, with regard to accessibility, there are growing demands for equal access to and affordability of higher education. In China, these issues have long been debated under the background of household registration reform, financial reform and other reforms. Recently, there has been a stronger focus on safety within institutions for higher education. In different European countries, there have been incidents arising from aggressive students who harm or threaten to harm the safety of other students and staff members. Questions arise as to whether these students could be barred from entering universities. This constitutes part of the contemporary discussions on the accessibility of higher education.
Secondly, both the importance of higher education for modern societies and the lives of individual students call for more accountability. On the one hand, this leads to questions regarding the legal rights of students to participate in the decision-making process. On the other hand, this also raises questions about the responsibilities with regard to quality control of higher education. Should such control be organized as a system of peer review in which the government only sets some minimum quality standards, or does the importance of higher education justify more profound government involvement?
Bearing the above-mentioned issue in mind, we arrive at the third topic - autonomy. What kind of freedom do universities have to regulate their internal affairs? Do universities have a claim to academic freedom and do scholars have a claim to academic freedom from universities? If yes, what is the scope of such claims? Questions of autonomy also arises within relations between universities and students. To what extent can universities claim its autonomy on student administration? Can judicial intervention in this context be justified? Are there alternative mechanisms of regulating “academic freedom”?
These issues are cross-jurisdictional instead of country-specific, which makes a comparative perspective meaningful. Having this in mind, we are pleased to announce the opening of the “Sino-Dutch Public Law Forum” with the theme of this year’s conference “Accessibility, Accountability and Autonomy of Higher Education: China, Europe and Beyond”. We invite senior and junior scholars to submit abstracts on the following three topics:
· Accountability of higher education
· Accessibility of higher education
· Autonomy of higher education
We are looking for legal-historical analysis, empirical-legal studies and theoretical constructions. Both country-specific and cross-jurisdictional discussions are welcomed.
In order to encourage young scholars’ academic involvement, we will have a special panel for Ph.D. candidates and master students. Senior scholars will be invited to sit on this panel and give constructive feedback.
Our confirmed speakers include:
· Charles Russo, Professor, University of Dayton, US
· Pieter Huisman, Professor, Erasmus University Rotterdam, the Netherlands
· Jingbo WANG, Professor, China University of Political Science and Law, China
· Xin LI, Professor, Capital Normal University, China
· Suping SHEN, Professor, Renmin University, China
· Stefan Phillipsen, Assistant Professor, Erasmus University Rotterdam, the Netherlands
Submission Procedure
Authors are invited to submit short abstracts of a maximum 500 words to xzfyjscupl@126.com by 30 December 2017. Authors of selected abstracts will be informed by 5 January 2018. The deadline for submitting a whole paper (and/or PPT) is 31 March 2018 (maximum 10,000 words). Speakers are asked to prepare a maximum 10 minutes presentation based on their papers.
