Features: This book is a work that discusses the management of higher education institutions and administrative litigation in China's universities. It is a genuine record of two famous educational administrative litigation cases that occurred in Beijing, the capital, at the turn of the century—the Liu Yanwen and Tian Yong cases—and expands on them with extensive commentary and thorough analysis. The book integrates academic rigor, knowledge, and entertainment, making it highly readable. The entire book consists of four parts.
Part 1: The article discusses the legal status of higher education institutions, focusing on the relationship between the management actions of universities and administrative litigation. Combining relevant education laws and regulations in China with the practical realities of educational administration, it elaborates on the necessity and significant importance of judicial intervention and legal remedies for educational disputes involving university degree evaluations, diploma issuance, expulsion or withdrawal from school, and other issues from the perspective of protecting the legitimate rights and interests of students.
Part 2: Centered around the social buzz and coverage by major media outlets following the two typical educational administrative litigation cases of "Liu Yanwen and Tian Yong," opinions varied across society. Reconstructing the scene where "a single stone stirred a thousand ripples," it reflects more on the social attention and profound reflection that arose when students sued their alma maters and courts boldly accepted and adjudicated the cases.
Part 3: This section is a record of an academic salon held at a special location, organized and initiated by a special academic group, attended by a group of special individuals, and imbued with special significance. Through this salon, one can understand the spiritual charm of Peking University students in their pursuit of science, democracy, and truth.
Part 4: The full set of adjudication documents for the Liu Yanwen and Tian Yong cases, through which one can understand the arduous yet effective efforts of judges under China's current judicial system. The wisdom and creativity of the judges are reflected in the adjudication documents.
