Zhu is the only one voted unanimously. In contrast to the way in which the presidents of universities and colleges were appointed directly by the Organization and personnel departments, the president of the Southern University of Science and technology was selected according to international practice, with the help of the global selection of the advisory body, and through the selection committee of the principals.　　The industry believes that this opened the domestic university principals through the International Talent consulting company to assist the selection of the precedent. It is reported that, in addition to Zhu Qingshi, at that time to enter the search company list also has a dean of Massachusetts Institute of Justice and several well-known domestic universities or vice president.　　When the selection committee was nominated, the Zhu was the only unanimous vote.　　At the ceremony of issuing the appointment yesterday, Zhu hoped that Wang Rong's mayor could approve the 5-year development plan of the University of Hkust. Wang Rong encourage Zhu to let go of the hand. Shenzhen, he said, is a place where miracles and dreams come true, with little historical baggage and a traditional framework.　　If the hkust can explore and launch a good system and mechanism, it may be the greatest contribution to China's higher education. The university will strive to receive approval from the Ministry of Education next year, as planned for next year's enrollment.　　Zhu said that in case of further preparations to be approved, the southern Hkust next year may be an experimental class, and rely on the Chinese University of Science and technology to recruit a Shonenban, to the southern Hkust in full accordance with the concept of the South Hkust.　　Dialogue "The Southern Hkust will emphasize the administration of" journalist: what do you think of the reform of colleges and universities? Zhu Qingshi: I have been engaged in China's higher education for several decades and feel that our national higher education should be developed and the system and mechanism should be innovated. Many of our colleges and universities in the reform of the institutional mechanism, in some original schools to promote too difficult, but the establishment of new schools can be in accordance with the new mechanism and system to run school, to achieve the reform of the university a key and breakthrough.　　It's a big challenge, and that's what I'm here for.　　Journalist: What is your idea of running a school? Zhu Qingshi: We and the Shenzhen municipal government's goal and philosophy is consistent, that is to emphasize the reform and innovation of the hkust. The future hkust will be a school that teaches schools, emphasizing official and administrative, and acting according to the laws of education. The University of Southern Hkust will rely mainly on professors in the future, not to say that there will be no administration, but will pay more attention to the strength of professors, such as some of the dean's jobs would all be held by professors.　　There will be a whole set of measures to be introduced to the administration. Another important reform task is that the school should pay attention to the metabolism, breaking the current university teachers can only enter the situation. InSouthern Hkust, if not suitable for the school's professors, can only find another job.　　Only the metabolism can stimulate the vitality of the school, otherwise any school will not do well, but this is precisely the current university is generally confused and difficult to break through a place, is not such a mechanism.　　Reporter: What is the University of the south of Hkust?　　Zhu Qingshi: We hope to one-step the southern Hkust into a research university, which will be a platform for China to attract talents from home and abroad. Some schools may pay more attention to the scale, but the southern Hkust will pay more attention to the level, the connotation development, makes the fine goods. We will recruit students according to the school's strength, will not pay attention to the social ranking and other formalism, but concentrate on the introduction of first-class teachers and students.　　I hope that in the next few years, we can see in the world that China also has a new competitive new university.　　Reporter: Next there is a group of vice-chancellor candidates list, have a detailed plan? Zhu Qingshi: We have drawn up a list of overseas imported personnel. In fact, many Chinese scholars are very eager to return home, just need a good platform and environment.　　I hope that the southern Hkust and Shenzhen will become the platform for the introduction of global Chinese scholars.　　He almost missed the scene. If not on the factors such as age and other conditions, the Southern University of Hkust almost lost with Zhu. There are Zhu in the 6-person list provided to the headhunting company for evaluation and analysis in Shenzhen. Early this year received a call from the search company, Zhu when the Southern University of Hkust to hire the headmaster, he did not have enough preparation and will.　　Get headhunting Company Feedback, Shenzhen a major leader to find him to negotiate, Zhu Qingshi finally change his mind. "Several members of the principal selection committee have called me in private, saying that this may be the most important career in my life."　　Zhu said, he was touched by this remark. However, Zhu was 62 years old last year, and Shenzhen initially asked headhunters to look for targets under 55 years of age and then relax to 60 years old. The list of 5 persons to be finalized for the selection committee of the principals may be 2 persons over 60 years of age, subject to the membership of the two chambers. Zhu Qingshi fits exactly. In the list of 5 people, the Zhu rank is not too far ahead. But the principal selection committee agreed that he was the best person to pass 16 votes.
