Doctoral tutor is the highest level of professors in Colleges and universities, which can be described as ace of aces.

At the beginning of reform and opening up, there were few professors. If you can become a erudite, you must be a knowledgeable and respected old professor. At that time, doctoral tutors needed the approval of the academic degree committee of the Ministry of education. Later, after the doctoral program application system was established, the Ministry of education began to delegate power, and the doctoral qualification was examined and approved by the school where the doctoral program is located. The number of doctoral tutors expands with the increase of enrollment, but the enrollment indicators are still arranged by the state.

I applied for doctoral guidance in that year. Because our university has no doctoral program corresponding to my major, I can only apply for doctoral guidance qualification from other universities, and then transfer back to the university after the University obtains the doctoral program. After being transferred to a new unit, you only need to fulfill the certification qualification, but you also need to recruit students at doctoral points other than your major. You can't return to the college for enrollment until the college gets the doctoral point of first-class discipline. Therefore, the students I recruit have four types: students from other schools, students from our school, students from other colleges and students from our college. Degree awarding units are also different.

After entering the new century, the first level disciplines have been launched, and more and more schools have increased the number of doctoral programs and the number of professors with doctoral qualifications. However, the enrollment index is still controlled by the degree Office of the Ministry of education, so there is a wonderful phenomenon that the number of doctoral tutors far exceeds the enrollment index. In order to win the enrollment index, the competition between Doctoral instructors is becoming increasingly fierce. Some schools have to queue up doctoral instructors again when formulating the enrollment plan for the next year every year to determine the enrollment qualification (secondary confirmation).

Here comes the problem.

The number of doctoral tutors has only increased, far behind the increase of enrollment indicators. Some doctoral instructors become furnishings.

Once the doctoral advisor is evaluated, it is a lifelong system.

The game between new and old doctoral tutors leads to seniority.

The distribution of enrollment indicators highlights internal contradictions and interpersonal factors.

Now there is a differentiation in the status of doctoral tutors in Colleges and universities.

Those who have doctoral qualification and have supervised at least one complete doctoral student are truly doctoral instructors. However, there are many kinds of doctoral tutors now. Having the qualification of doctoral tutor but never bringing students (business card and honor); There are those who never recruit students after only one term (lack of ability); Hat titles (bull people) with annual indicators (more than one); One (ordinary Professor) can only be recruited every few years; Those who have the ability but can't get the qualification and can't recruit students (newly introduced young people); Those who do not give up near retirement (reluctant); There is also a tool monopoly that regards doctoral guidance as interest power.

There are also embarrassing situations. If there are indicators but the qualified students cannot be recruited, the recruited students drop out halfway, the recruited students have problems and can't quit, and they can't graduate for many years to become the "burden" of tutors. These are a waste of resources and energy. Mentors who just want to recruit more than they want to bring are actually irresponsible.

Doctoral guidance is a post, not an honor. If you don't do a good job of doctoral guidance (poor guidance, academic misconduct, empty reputation), you won't get honor, or even damage reputation. It is also a doctoral advisor, whose image and reputation are very different in the eyes of teachers and students.

Doctoral guidance is not interest, but responsibility. When you recruit students, you should consider being responsible for the students and train them to be scientific workers with the ability to engage in scientific research independently, rather than your thesis workers and performance ATM.

It is suggested that the school should make an annual examination system for doctoral tutors. Those whose performance in recent years does not meet the standard or is close to the retirement age should be disqualified from doctoral tutoring. If you are qualified, you can recruit students, so as to unify the doctoral guidance qualification and enrollment qualification (not two layers), so as to avoid artificial contradictions and conflicts or interest exchange.

The development of a school needs generations of young people to inherit. The old doctor should have the mind of being willing to be a ladder, retreat bravely in a hurry, have responsibility and responsibility, and not only consider himself. The new doctoral tutor should lay a solid foundation, learn from the old doctoral tutor with an open mind, be not eager for quick success and instant benefit, and do solid work. Discipline development is a historical process of connecting the past and the future, planting trees by predecessors and cultivating soil by later generations, which needs long-term planning and measures.

A doctoral supervisor is a post, a doctoral supervisor is on the job, but not when he leaves the post. Responsibility and right are unified. Let the young and promising pick the beam as much as possible, so that the school can have a future.
