Generally, any major events at Mist City Arts and Science University are held in Conference Room One, as it is relatively larger and can accommodate many people.
"Hello Principal Ding!"
In the conference room, various departnt heads and heads of academic departnts greeted Principal Ding after seeing him.
"Hello, everyone. Please take a seat, no need for formalities."
Ding Yue greeted everyone with a smile.
Soon, about thirty people were seated in the conference room. These were all leaders of Mist City Arts and Science University, and, of course, they were all working under Ding Yue’s leadership to build and develop the university.
"Today, I’ve called everyone here to discuss so major upcoming events at Mist City Arts and Science University."
After taking his seat in the main chair, Ding Yue seriously addressed the attendees.
Everyone listened intently to Principal Ding’s speech.
"The first matter is about the internship arrangents for students who are about to enter their senior year."
Ding Yue started with this issue.
Since this matter was essentially already decided in discussions with Director Qi Chunsheng and Miss An, the purpose of ntioning it in the eting was mainly to inform the heads of the academic departnts, so they could also prepare accordingly.
"After discussions with Director Qi Chunsheng and Miss An, we have essentially finalized the arrangents for the first batch of students who are due to intern. When the ti cos, each departnt should coordinate well with Director Qi and Miss An. Additionally, if any departnt really cannot arrange internship positions, then you will need to handle it yourselves. Of course, if you need any support from the school, just speak to Director Qi. We are not afraid of challenges. What we fear is our students graduating from Mist City Arts and Science University without having a place to intern!"
Ding Yue spoke to the departnt heads in a sowhat light-hearted tone.
"Alright, Principal Ding. Rest assured,"
Upon hearing Principal Ding’s remarks, the departnt heads all expressed their commitnt to ensuring the proper arrangent of internship positions, promising not to let Principal Ding down.
The departnt heads from various departnts at Mist City Arts and Science University all understood very well that Principal Ding valued them and their departnts highly, based on their ability to handle matters efficiently.
Everyone wanted their departnt to be regarded as a cherished entity of the school like the departnts of Computer Science, chanical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, dicine, and Architecture, which received countless amounts of teaching funds and other financial support every year.
"Alright, let’s then focus on discussing the second matter at this eting."
Having inford them of the first matter, Ding Yue moved directly to the second topic: "This second matter is regarding our recruitnt planning for this year at Mist City Arts and Science University. As the sester is nearly ending and the College Entrance Examination is approaching, it’s critical that we define a recruitnt plan in order to better conduct next year’s educational activities."
Upon finishing his statent, the departnt heads nodded in agreent, considering Principal Ding’s words appropriate.
"Principal Ding, hasn’t our approach at Mist City Arts and Science University always been to accept all cors?" At that mont, one departnt head asked.
"Indeed."
Ding Yue nodded and explained, "For the past three years, our recruitnt plan at Mist City Arts and Science University has indeed followed that approach. However, tis have changed."
Everyone understood what Principal Ding ant by this.
Over the past year, Mist City Arts and Science University had grown trendously, not only becoming a key national private university but also successfully hosting the National University Sports Gas, and recently defeating Google Company’s artificial intelligence robot AlphaDog from the United States, enhancing its reputation substantially.
"Principal Ding, does this an we are going to set an admission score threshold?" another departnt head inquired.
The departnt heads all looked towards Principal Ding, awaiting his response.
"Over the past three years, Mist City Arts and Science University, in pursuit of student numbers, had not set any admission thresholds, aning no minimum score requirents. Now, with over 80,000 students, I believe that if we don’t set any admission thresholds this year, student numbers might grow explosively."
Ding Yue analyzed: "Although Mist City Arts and Science University has been expanded once, the total capacity of the campus is around two hundred thousand people. If we still enroll students without any admission thresholds, the school might be full this year, or even lack educational facilities. What will happen in two years then? How will we teach?"
The departnt heads listened to Principal Ding’s analysis and after pondering for a mont, they all nodded in agreent.
It really does make sense.
If unrestricted enrollnt continues and every recent graduate who applies to Mist City Arts and Science University is admitted, then the situation of student numbers exploding, as Principal Ding ntioned, would indeed happen.
Although the College Entrance Examination unsuccessful students recruited by Mist City Arts and Science University have shown good performance during their studies, who wouldn’t want their departnt’s students to have the qualifications of an undergraduate scoreline?
Clearly, teaching students with better academic achievents will undoubtedly produce better results, and after considering this, all the departnt heads agreed with Principal Ding’s suggestion.
"Principal Ding, I think it is necessary to set an admission score threshold. Firstly, our Mist City Arts and Science University is already a nationally recognized private key university at the national level, and we have accreditation for undergraduate programs, and so departnts are authorized for master’s and even doctoral degrees; setting an admission score threshold is reasonable and legitimate."
A departnt head agreed.
"Yes, Principal Ding, I agree!" Many other departnt heads also agreed with Principal Ding’s decision.
Departnts like the Computer Science, chanical Engineering, dicine, and Architecture, naturally don’t even need to say more, they have never lacked student sources. Over the past two years, they have had the highest numbers of new students, and this year will surely be the sa.
Since that’s the case, why not aim to recruit so high-quality students?
While many departnt heads agreed with Principal Ding’s decision, so of the less popular departnt heads looked worried.
"Principal Ding, I have so thoughts, I’m not sure whether to express them."
The head of the Environntal Science Departnt spoke up.
"Hmm?"
"Director Liu, please speak." Ding Yue, by now, is basically familiar with all the departnt heads of Mist City Arts and Science University; the speaker is Director Liu of the Environntal Science Departnt.
"Principal Ding, while setting an admissions score threshold does enable us to have better quality students, which is excellent for the future developnt of our Mist City Arts and Science University, this might not be good news for departnts like ours, the Environntal Science Departnt, or others with fewer students."
Director Liu spoke frankly.
"Hmm?"
After hearing this, Ding Yue thought for a mont and quickly understood Director Liu’s aning.
Indeed!
Originally, departnts like the Environntal Science Departnt, which already have fewer students, rely on those interested in the field to maintain their student base. If Mist City Arts and Science University sets an admission score threshold, it is expected that very few would want to study environnt-related majors here, given that the Environntal Science Departnt of Mist City Arts and Science University has not been very competitive so far, unlike the chanical Engineering Departnt.
By then, it’s uncertain if the Environntal Science Departnt could even recruit College Entrance Exam Students hitting the undergraduate line.
There are quite a few other departnts like the Environntal Science Departnt facing this issue, after all, not every one of the hundreds of majors at Mist City Arts and Science University is popular or in high demand.
This is indeed a problem that needs to be considered.
Although Ding Yue has always considered that his Mist City Arts and Science University should develop comprehensively, aning all majors should be vibrant, this requires ti, resources, and funding, and it’s not sothing that can be achieved overnight.
However, departnts like the Environntal Science Departnt now face a point of conflict due to the decision to set an admissions score threshold.
Having a conflict ans it must be resolved!
