The way of the rule of law for democratic governance in colleges and universities from the perspective of people’s democracy in the whole process —Based on the practical exploration of a university in Shanghai
People’s democracy in the whole process is a unique form of democracy in China. Its basis is to summarise the laws of democratic political construction of socialism with Chinese characteristics, and it is a socialist democracy with Chinese characteristics that highlights the “people’s nature” and “the whole process”. This theory can vigourously promote the participation of young people in the democratic governance of colleges and universities, and guide young people to play a greater role in the whole process of people’s democracy. However, in the current management process of colleges and universities, there are many problems in the key links such as democratic election, democratic consultation, democratic decision-making, democratic management and democratic supervision, such as insufficient implementation depth and coverage, insufficient sound relevant mechanism system, weak awareness of democratic rule of law among college students, and insufficient use of data informatization means. In the future, we will promote colleges and universities to build a youth main participation mechanism and guide young people to play a greater role in the whole process of people’s democracy. We should always focus on “Party leadership, collaborative governance, institutional construction, cultural cultivation, and scientific and technological empowerment”, give full play to the role of party building and team building in colleges and universities, and establish and improve the participation of young students in school governance. The practice mechanism promotes students to take the initiative to participate in the democratic governance of schools, and fully guides young people to play a role.
