Abstract:
The Chinese system of employment of the teaching faculty in higher learning institutions now faces a double dilemma both in theory and in practice. Theoretically, the character of the faculty’s employment contract is not clearly defined. The executive organs exercise too much intervention with the employment, which is usually poorlymotivated and limitedly capable. Even worse, the mechanism to assure the teacher’s rights is incomplete, and his right of speech is restricted in many ways because of the expansion of the executive power. In practice, many regulations of employment have become mere formalities, and the procedure is deliberately broken just for the sake of immediate effect. And those poorly directive rules bring about only poor work of employment.
