现在的大学显得很盲目，很无措，几乎是所有的大学（差不多百分百吧），都不知道怎样发展？这就导致了绝大部分的大学有一个很强的功利性、目的性。其中一个现象就是校区越来越大且搬来搬去的。还有的大学，尤其是专科（性）的大学（学院），喜欢和别的学校进行合并（搞得很大，但不一定能够做强），动辄就是好几个校区。还有的城市为了发展，把老城区的校区给整空，认为太老旧了，就抛弃了，然后在新区、郊区、野外山区搞新校园和新校区。感觉很大，但也很空旷。

出现这种现象在全国可以说是一个普遍的现象，而非个例或者说部分，似乎很多大学都热衷走高大上、多又全的路子，那么针对这种现象，我们不禁产生了一种担忧和怀疑，为什么大学就不能老老实实、安安心心的坚守初心，坚守本分，好好的做学问呢？为什么不去做强自己的本质专业特色呢，校园校区干嘛要搬来搬去的？专业型专科性大学非得要搞一个综合性的大学名头呢？尤其是校区，前10年在这个地方，后10年挪在了那个地方，失去了它原有的大学底蕴了。

我们不禁要问，这些大学为什么不能建成一个永久性的校园，或者说打造一个永久校部呢？有些大学就爱折腾：这些年在这儿，后几年换地方，能鸟枪换炮吗？其实这对大学来说伤害很大，是很不负责任的，尤其是老校区，那可是曾经的主体和学校本部所在啊！虽然看着有些破，但是文化的底蕴反而给人一种厚朴和坚实的力量。那么当大学这些老校区（校本部）被收回、被换掉、被卖掉，甚至被作为新的房地产开发之后。那么、这所大学的根就断了，大学的灵魂随即丧失了，虽然空有其名，但是大学的精神却失去了很多，这是很难堪的。

“The Whip of God Decree”, Part 1: Why Can’t Universities Build Permanent Campuses That Last for Centuries?

(Afternoon of December 25, 2025)

Universities today seem blind and lost. Almost all of them (nearly 100 percent) are unsure about how to develop. This has led to a strong sense of utilitarianism and purpose-driven behavior among the vast majority of universities. One manifestation of this is the tendency to build increasingly larger campuses and relocate them frequently. Additionally, some universities, particularly specialized colleges or institutes, favor merging with other institutions (expanding in size but not necessarily in strength), often resulting in multiple campuses. Some cities, in their pursuit of development, empty out older campuses in city centers, deeming them too outdated, and abandon them in favor of new campuses in new districts, suburbs, or remote mountainous areas. These new campuses may appear grand but often feel vast and empty.

This phenomenon is widespread across the country, rather than being isolated or limited to a few cases. It seems many universities are enthusiastic about pursuing grandiose, expansive, and comprehensive approaches. In light of this, we cannot help but feel concern and skepticism. Why can’t universities remain steadfast and committed to their original purpose, focusing diligently on academic pursuits? Why not strengthen their core professional specialties? Why must campuses be relocated back and forth? Why must specialized or vocational colleges insist on transforming into comprehensive universities? Particularly when it comes to campuses, a university might be in one location for the first ten years and then move to another in the next decade, losing its original academic heritage in the process.

We can’t help but wonder: why can’t these universities establish permanent campuses or create a lasting main campus? Some universities seem to enjoy constant upheaval—being in one place for a few years and then relocating elsewhere. Can such changes truly lead to significant improvement? In reality, this inflicts considerable harm on universities and reflects a lack of responsibility, especially toward older campuses. These older campuses, once the heart and main headquarters of the university, may appear somewhat worn, but their cultural heritage exudes a sense of simplicity and solidity. When these older campuses (the main campuses) are reclaimed, replaced, sold, or even redeveloped into new real estate projects, the university’s roots are severed. The soul of the university is lost, and though the name may remain, much of its spirit dissipates. This is a deeply regrettable situation.
