General Secretary Xi Jinping emphasized in his important speech at the Fourth Plenary Session of the 20th Central Commission for Discipline Inspection that, in the New Era and on the new journey, we must persist in governing the Party with the spirit of reform and strict standards, strive to achieve greater results, ensure the implementation of the deployments of the 20th National Congress of the CPC and the Third Plenary Session of the 20th Central Committee, ensure that the Party always remains the strong leading core of the cause of socialism with Chinese characteristics, and promote the steady and long-term progress of Chinese-path modernization. “Double First-Class” [1]1 The "Four Tests" refer to the tests of governance, reform and opening up, the market economy, and the external environment. construction universities are the strategic leading force in building a strong education nation and play a particularly important role in serving and supporting Chinese-path modernization. We must earnestly study and implement General Secretary Xi Jinping’s important thought on the Party’s self-revolution, deeply grasp the inherent unified relationship between advancing comprehensive and strict governance of the Party and better engaging in entrepreneurship, fully leverage the leading and guaranteeing role of comprehensive and strict governance of the Party and the university, and gather strong momentum for better facing the “great affairs of the state” [2]2 The "Four Dangers" refer to the dangers of mental slackness, incompetence, disengagement from the people, and corruption., implementing the fundamental task of fostering virtue through education [3]3 This refers to the historical cycle of rise and fall of ruling regimes in Chinese history, a question raised by the democratic figure Huang Yanpei during a 1945 conversation with Mao Zedong about how a political party could avoid this cycle., accelerating the “trinity” development of education, science and technology, and talent, and serving and supporting Chinese-path modernization with higher education modernization.

习近平总书记在二十届中央纪委四次全会上发表重要讲话时强调，新时代新征程，必须坚持用改革精神和严的标准管党治党，努力取得更大成效，确保党的二十大和二十届三中全会部署落地落实，确保党始终成为中国特色社会主义事业的坚强领导核心，推动中国式现代化行稳致远。“双一流”建设高校是教育强国建设的战略引领力量，对服务支撑中国式现代化具有特殊重要作用。我们必须认真学习贯彻习近平总书记关于党的自我革命的重要思想，深刻把握推进全面从严治党与更好干事创业的内在统一关系，充分发挥全面从严管党治校的引领保障作用，为更好面向“国之大者”、落实立德树人根本任务、加快推进教育科技人才“三位一体”发展、以高等教育现代化服务支撑中国式现代化，汇聚强大动能。

I. Focusing on the Overall Situation and Major Trends, Deeply Understanding the Significance of Unswervingly Advancing the Party’s Self-Revolution

一、着眼大局大势，深刻领悟坚定不移推进党的自我革命的重要意义

Courageously engaging in self-revolution is the most distinctive character and greatest strength of our Party. Comprehensive and strict governance of the Party is the great practice of the Party’s self-revolution in the New Era, opening up a new realm of self-revolution for a century-old major Party. General Secretary Xi Jinping pointed out in his important speech at the Fourth Plenary Session of the 20th Central Commission for Discipline Inspection that, “The Party Central Committee has led social revolution with the Party’s self-revolution, consistently advancing comprehensive and strict governance of the Party, achieving new progress and results. The entire Party has become more sober in understanding and more determined in action on the major issue of self-revolution.” Only by deeply grasping the historical process, practical needs, and long-term considerations of our Party’s promotion of self-revolution can we clarify erroneous understandings, dispel ideological confusion, and further strengthen the determination and will to lead the great social revolution with the great self-revolution.

勇于自我革命，是我们党最鲜明的品格和最大的优势。全面从严治党是新时代党的自我革命的伟大实践，开辟了百年大党自我革命的新境界。习近平总书记在二十届中央纪委四次全会上发表重要讲话时指出，“党中央坚持以党的自我革命引领社会革命，一以贯之推进全面从严治党，取得新的进展和成效。全党在自我革命这一重大问题上认识更加清醒、行动更加坚定”。深刻把握我们党推进自我革命的历史进程、现实需要、长远考量，才能澄清错误认识、廓清思想迷雾，进一步坚定以伟大自我革命引领伟大社会革命的决心和意志。

Self-revolution is the successful experience explored in the Party’s century-long struggle. From the perspective of the long river of history, self-revolution is the winning formula for the century-old major Party to maintain a healthy body, and an important magic weapon for ensuring that the Party always maintains its advanced nature and purity and advances from victory to victory. Our Party has the courage to solve prominent problems such as ideological impurity, political impurity, organizational impurity, and style impurity within the Party. During the New Democratic Revolution period, it carried out the Yan’an Rectification Movement [4]4 A classical Chinese phrase from the Zuo Zhuan (Commentary of Zuo), describing the rapid rise and fall of dynasties.; in the early days of the founding of New China, it carried out rectification campaigns and the “Three-Anti” Movement [5]5 A metaphor derived from Mao Zedong's statement in 1949 that entering Beijing was like "going to the capital for an examination," implying the need for constant vigilance and self-examination in governance.; after reform and opening up, it carried out comprehensive Party rectification and a series of centralized educational activities. Since the 18th National Congress of the CPC, the Party Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping at its core has

自我革命是党的百年奋斗探索的成功经验。从历史长河来看，自我革命是百年大党肌体康健的制胜良方，是确保党始终保持先进性和纯洁性、从胜利走向胜利的重要法宝。我们党勇于解决党内存在的思想不纯、政治不纯、组织不纯、作风不纯等突出问题，新民主主义革命时期开展延安整风，新中国成立初期开展整风整党、“三反”运动，改革开放以后全面整党，开展一系列集中性教育活动。党的十八大以来，以习近平同志为核心的党中央刀刃向内、刮骨疗毒，猛药去疴、重典治乱，全面从严治党取得有目共睹的成绩，党在革命性锻造中更加坚强有力。深刻认识“反腐败是最彻底的自我革命”，深入推进党风廉政建设和反腐败斗争，赢得了确保党不变质、不变色、不变味的历史主动，赢得了党团结带领全体人民为强国建设、民族复兴伟业共同奋斗的历史主动。

Self-revolution is an inevitable choice for realizing Chinese-path modernization. Changes unseen in a century are accelerating, and many deep-seated contradictions in reform, development, and stability cannot be avoided or bypassed. The risks and challenges that China's development must address, and the contradictions and problems that must be resolved, are more severe and complex than ever before. The "Four Tests"[1]1 The "Four Tests" refer to the tests of governance, reform and opening up, the market economy, and the external environment. and the "Four Dangers"[2]2 The "Four Dangers" refer to the dangers of mental slackness, incompetence, disengagement from the people, and corruption. persist over the long term. The current situation of the anti-corruption struggle remains severe and complex; the stock of corruption has not yet been cleared, and new cases continue to emerge. The task of eradicating the soil and conditions that breed corruption remains arduous and heavy. We must closely focus on the central task of comprehensively advancing the building of a strong country and the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation through Chinese-path modernization, adhere to the principle that the Party's self-revolution is always on the march and that governance of the Party must never be relaxed for a moment, comprehensively advance the new great project of Party building with the spirit of self-revolution, and continuously enhance the Party's political leadership, ideological guidance, mass organization, and social appeal. We must examine ourselves in light of the demands of the times, alert ourselves with a strong sense of urgency, forge ourselves with the spirit of self-revolution, constantly improve our leadership and governance capabilities, ensure that our Party always stays at the forefront of the times in the historical process of profound changes in the world situation, always remains the backbone of the people throughout the country in the historical process of responding to various domestic and international risks and challenges, and always becomes a strong leading core in the historical process of upholding and developing socialism with Chinese characteristics in the New Era, thereby better promoting the continuous advancement of the great social revolution.

自我革命是实现中国式现代化的必然选择。百年未有之大变局加速演进，改革发展稳定面临不少深层次矛盾躲不开、绕不过，我国发展需要应对的风险和挑战、需要解决的矛盾和问题比以往更加严峻复杂。“四大考验”、“四种危险”长期存在，当前反腐败斗争形势仍然严峻复杂，腐败存量尚未清除，增量还在持续发生，铲除腐败滋生土壤和条件任务仍然艰巨繁重。必须紧紧围绕以中国式现代化全面推进强国建设、民族复兴伟业这个中心任务，坚持党的自我革命永远在路上、管党治党一刻也不能放松，以自我革命精神全面推进党的建设新的伟大工程，不断增强党的政治领导力、思想引领力、群众组织力、社会号召力。必须以时代发展的要求审视自己，以强烈的忧患意识警醒自己，以自我革命精神锻造自己，不断提高领导能力和执政水平，确保我们党在世界形势深刻变化的历史进程中始终走在时代前列，在应对国内外各种风险挑战的历史进程中始终成为全国人民的主心骨，在新时代坚持和发展中国特色社会主义的历史进程中始终成为坚强领导核心，更好推动伟大社会革命不断向前。

Self-revolution is the fundamental solution for escaping the historical cycle of rise and fall.[3]3 This refers to the historical cycle of rise and fall of ruling regimes in Chinese history, a question raised by the democratic figure Huang Yanpei during a 1945 conversation with Mao Zedong about how a political party could avoid this cycle. The courage to engage in self-revolution is a distinctive mark that distinguishes our Party from other political parties. Marxist party theory emphasizes that under constantly changing historical conditions and social environments, a proletarian party needs to continuously carry out self-renovation to better adapt to new challenges and tasks, maintaining vitality and vigor. As the world's largest Marxist ruling party, the Communist Party of China has, over more than a century, relied externally on developing people's democracy and accepting popular supervision, and internally on comprehensive and strict governance of the Party and advancing self-revolution. It has had the courage to uphold truth and correct errors, ensuring the Party's enduring prosperity and continuous growth and strengthening. Determined to achieve the eternal cause of the Chinese nation and to escape the historical cycle of "rising swiftly and falling just as swiftly,"[4]4 A classical Chinese phrase from the Zuo Zhuan (Commentary of Zuo), describing the rapid rise and fall of dynasties. we must forever maintain the sobriety and resolve of "being on the examination,"[5]5 A metaphor derived from Mao Zedong's statement in 1949 that entering Beijing was like "going to the capital for an examination," implying the need for constant vigilance and self-examination in governance. forge and temper ourselves with the spirit of courageous self-revolution, promptly eliminate various hidden dangers that erode the Party's ruling foundation, continuously consolidate the Party's long-term ruling position, and forever remain invincible.

自我革命是跳出历史周期率的治本之策。勇于自我革命是我们党区别于其他政党的显著标志。马克思主义政党理论强调，在不断变化的历史条件和社会环境中，无产阶级政党需要通过不断进行自我革新以更好地适应新的挑战和任务，保持生机与活力。中国共产党作为世界上最大的马克思主义执政党，百余年来外靠发展人民民主、接受人民监督，内靠全面从严治党、推进自我革命，勇于坚持真理、修正错误，保证了党长盛不衰、不断发展壮大。立志于中华民族千秋伟业，跳出“其兴也勃焉，其亡也忽焉”的历史周期率，必须永葆“赶考”的清醒和坚定，以勇于自我革命精神打造和锤炼自己，及时消除损害党的执政根基的各种隐患，不断巩固党的长期执政地位，永远立于不败之地。

II. Focusing on the Main Responsibilities and Main Business, Deeply Understanding the Political Considerations of Deepening Comprehensive and Strict Governance of the Party in Higher Education Institutions

二、聚焦主责主业，深刻洞察高校深入推进全面从严治党的政治考量

Since the 18th National Congress of the CPC, the Party Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping at its core has unswervingly advanced comprehensive and strict governance of the Party, achieving a series of theoretical, practical, and institutional innovations, constructing a system for comprehensive and strict governance of the Party, and opening up a new realm of self-revolution for the century-old major Party. China's higher education institutions shoulder the important missions of talent cultivation, scientific research, social service, cultural heritage and innovation, and international exchange and cooperation, occupying a particularly important position in the national governance system. General Secretary Xi Jinping pointed out that strengthening the Party's leadership over higher education institutions and strengthening and improving Party building in higher education institutions are the fundamental guarantees for running socialist universities with Chinese characteristics. Under the strong leadership of the Party Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping at its core, Party building in higher education institutions has achieved historic results and undergone structural changes. A work pattern of implementing the Party's comprehensive leadership horizontally to the edges, vertically to the bottom, and with full coverage has basically taken shape. Through organizing and promoting the full-coverage inspection of centrally-administered higher education institutions,[6]6 Centrally-administered higher education institutions (中管高校) are key universities directly managed by the Central Committee of the CPC. deepening the reform of the discipline inspection and supervision system in centrally-administered higher education institutions, and strengthening supervision over the leadership teams of higher education institutions, especially the "first-in-command,"[7]7 "First-in-command" (一把手) refers to the principal leader of an organization, such as the Party secretary or university president. efforts have been made to identify and correct political deviations in strengthening political construction, implementing the fundamental task of fostering virtue through education,[8]8 "Fostering virtue through education" (立德树人) is a core principle of Chinese education policy, emphasizing moral cultivation as the foundation of talent development. and fulfilling the functions of the "Four Services,"[9]9 The "Four Services" (四个服务) refer to serving the people, serving the CPC's governance, serving the development of socialism with Chinese characteristics, and serving reform and opening up and socialist modernization. thereby promoting the continuous deepening and solidification of strict governance of the Party and the university in higher education institutions, and continuously transforming the Party's leadership advantages into advantages for building world-class universities with Chinese characteristics. At the same time, it must also be recognized that the "ivory tower" is not a pure land. Higher education institutions also have some problems and deficiencies in governing the Party, running the university, and managing academic affairs, and face new situations and challenges. We must base ourselves on the new historical orientation of higher education, accurately identify the manifestations and root causes of problems, propose feasible solutions, and promote the in-depth development of comprehensive and strict governance of the Party and the university.

党的十八大以来，以习近平同志为核心的党中央坚定不移推进全面从严治党，取得一系列理论创新、实践创新、制度创新成果，构建起全面从严治党体系，开辟了百年大党自我革命新境界。我国高校肩负着人才培养、科学研究、社会服务、文化传承创新、国际交流合作的重要使命，在国家治理体系中具有特殊重要地位。习近平总书记指出，加强党对高校的领导，加强和改进高校党的建设，是办好中国特色社会主义大学的根本保证。在以习近平同志为核心的党中央坚强领导下，高校党的建设取得历史性成效、发生格局性变化，落实党的全面领导横到边、纵到底、全覆盖工作格局基本形成。通过组织推进中管高校巡视全覆盖、深化中管高校纪检监察体制改革、加强对高校领导班子特别是“一把手”监督等，着力发现和纠正在加强政治建设、落实立德树人根本任务、发挥“四个服务”功能作用方面的政治偏差，推动高校从严管党治校持续往深里走、往实里走，不断将党的领导优势转化为中国特色世界一流大学建设优势。同时，也要看到，“象牙塔”内并非一方净土，高校在管党治党、办学治校上也还存在一些问题和不足，面临一些新的形势和挑战。必须立足高等教育所处的新的历史方位，准确识别问题表现及其根源，提出切实可行的解决策略，推动全面从严管党治校向纵深发展。

Viewed from the important missions and tasks undertaken by universities on the new journey of the New Era. Universities are the convergence points where science and technology, education, and talent are most concentrated; they are dense in knowledge, intelligence, and talent. On the new journey, they are increasingly becoming crucial fulcrums for national strategy and economic and social development. It must be clearly recognized that universities are more prominently highlighting the political nature of running schools, strengthening the responsibility of educating people for the Party and cultivating talent for the country, and ensuring the succession of the cause of the Party and the people; they are more prominently highlighting the people-oriented nature of running schools, developing education centered on the people, and bearing a heavier responsibility for developing education that satisfies the people; they are more prominently highlighting the strategic nature of running schools, accelerating the creation of a world-class talent center and innovation highland, and bearing a heavier responsibility for serving and supporting scientific and technological self-reliance and self-strengthening; they are more prominently highlighting the global nature of running schools, constructing a higher education development paradigm with Chinese characteristics and world influence, and bearing a heavier task of contributing to building a community with a shared future for mankind. Therefore, it is necessary to examine issues from the perspectives of affecting the implementation of the fundamental task of fostering virtue through education, affecting the high-quality development of the education, science and technology, and talent enterprise, affecting Chinese-path modernization, and affecting the long-term stability, prosperity, and flourishing of the Party and the state, and to deeply understand and grasp the special and significant importance of advancing comprehensive and strict governance of the Party in universities in depth.

从新时代新征程高校承担的重要使命任务来看。高校是科技、教育、人才最集中的交汇点，知识密集、智力密集、人才密集，新征程上愈发成为国家战略和经济社会发展的重要支点。必须清醒看到，高校更加凸显办学的政治性，强化为党育人、为国育才，确保党和人民事业后继有人的责任更重；更加凸显办学的人民性，以人民为中心发展教育，发展人民满意的教育的责任更重；更加凸显办学的战略性，加快打造世界重要人才中心和创新高地，服务支撑科技自立自强的责任更重；更加凸显办学的世界性，构建具有中国特色、世界影响力的高等教育发展范式，助力构建人类命运共同体的任务更重。因此，必须从影响立德树人根本任务落实、影响教育科技人才事业高质量发展、影响中国式现代化建设、影响党和国家长治久安兴旺发达来看问题，深刻认识和把握纵深推进高校全面从严治党的特殊重要意义。

Viewed from the changes in the internal and external situations facing the development of universities. Currently, the "two overall situations" [10]10 The "two overall situations" (两个大局) refers to the overall situation of the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation and the overall situation of changes unseen in a century in the world. are intertwined and turbulent, with science and technology and talent becoming the main battleground of international strategic games. Higher education faces unprecedented international competition. The complex changes in the external environment require universities to more strictly implement the political responsibility of comprehensive and strict governance of the Party, firmly uphold the correct political direction in running schools, and continuously enhance their ability to effectively serve the "great affairs of the state" [11]11 "Great affairs of the state" (国之大者) is a term used by Xi Jinping to refer to the most fundamental and overarching interests and strategic priorities of the Party and the country. under conditions of external containment, suppression, and blockade. At the same time, the operational resources of universities increase year by year, the school-running environment becomes more open, the composition of the teaching staff becomes more diverse, and the tests and clean governance risks faced by their own development continue to increase, raising new topics and requirements for strengthening and improving internal governance. It is necessary to adhere to simultaneously grasping Party spirit, Party conduct, and Party discipline, strengthen the construction of school spirit and academic atmosphere, and teacher ethics and conduct, rectify the stubborn malady of the "Four Forms of Decadence" [12]12 The "Four Forms of Decadence" (四风) refers to formalism, bureaucratism, hedonism, and extravagance., eradicate the soil and conditions for the breeding of corruption, and create a clean and upright environment for teaching and educating people.

从高校发展面临的内外部形势变化来看。当前，“两个大局”交织激荡，科技和人才成为国际战略博弈的主战场，高等教育面临着前所未有的国际竞争。外部环境的复杂变化，要求高校更加严格落实全面从严治党政治责任，坚定办学正确政治方向，不断增强在面临外部遏制打压封锁环境下有力服务“国之大者”的能力水平。同时，高校办学资源逐年增加、办学环境更加开放、教师队伍构成更加多元，自身发展面临的考验和廉政风险持续增加，对加强和改进内部治理提出新课题新要求。必须坚持党性党风党纪一起抓，加强校风学风、师德师风建设，纠治“四风”顽疾，铲除腐败滋生的土壤和条件，营造风清气正的教书育人环境。

Viewed from the prominent problems existing in comprehensive and strict governance of the Party in universities. Promoting the healthy and high-quality development of higher education is a long and arduous task. From the perspective of daily supervision, there are still some shortcomings and deficiencies in the comprehensive and strict governance of the Party and the institution in universities. Some are not strong enough in strengthening political construction, and there are gaps in implementing the Party's educational policies and the Party Central Committee's decisions and deployments on educational work; some are not strong enough in implementing the fundamental task of fostering virtue through education, ideological and political education is relatively weak, and the construction of school spirit, academic atmosphere, and teacher ethics and conduct needs to be strengthened; some are not strong enough in deepening strict governance of the Party and the institution, the transmission of responsibility and pressure for comprehensive and strict governance of the Party is not in place, and corruption in areas such as scientific research, infrastructure construction, and enrollment occurs from time to time. Promoting comprehensive and strict governance of the Party lies in genuine and strict management, and the key lies in precise treatment. Universities must always adhere to the long-term persistence of strict tones, strict measures, and strict atmospheres, closely monitor and analyze and judge the new trends of Party conditions and conduct, insist on targeting problems and treating root causes, addressing both symptoms and root causes, and improving the precision and effectiveness of Party governance; carry forward the spirit of thorough self-revolution, connect rectifying conduct, enforcing discipline, and combating corruption with deepening reform, improving systems, enhancing governance, and promoting development, and promote the deep integration of Party building in universities with the development of education and teaching.

从高校全面从严治党存在的突出问题来看。推动高等教育事业健康发展、高质量发展，任重而道远。从日常监督情况看，高校在全面从严管党治校方面还存在一些短板和不足，有的加强政治建设不够有力，贯彻落实党的教育方针和党中央关于教育工作决策部署存在差距；有的落实立德树人根本任务不够有力，思想政治教育比较薄弱，校风学风和师德师风建设有待加强；有的深化从严管党治校不够有力，全面从严治党责任压力传导不到位，科研、基建、招生等领域腐败问题时有发生。推进全面从严治党，重在真管真严，要在精准施治。高校必须始终把严的基调、严的措施、严的氛围长期坚持下去，密切关注和分析研判党情党风新动向，坚持奔着问题去、对着根源治，既治标又治本，提高管党治党的精准性、实效性；发扬彻底的自我革命精神，将正风肃纪反腐与深化改革、完善制度、改进治理、推动发展贯通起来，推动高校党建与教育教学发展深度融合。

III. Highlighting Key Points and Difficulties, Deeply Grasping the Pathways and Measures for Leading and Guaranteeing the Construction of World-Class Universities with Chinese Characteristics through Comprehensive and Strict Governance of the Party and the Institution

三、突出重点难点，深刻把握以全面从严管党治校引领保障中国特色世界一流大学建设的路径举措

On June 27, 2024, when presiding over the 15th collective study session of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee, General Secretary Xi Jinping pointed out that it is necessary to "use systematic thinking and scientific methods to promote the full coverage of content, full coverage of objects, full chain of responsibility, and full integration of systems in governing the Party and the institution, and further improve a comprehensive and strict governance of the Party system with complete elements, complete functions, scientific norms, and efficient operation." To lead and guarantee the construction of world-class universities with Chinese characteristics through comprehensive and strict governance of the Party and the institution, it is necessary to work hard on "systematicity" and continuously promote the deep integration of high-quality Party building with the development of university undertakings.

2024年6月27日，习近平总书记在主持中央政治局第十五次集体学习时指出，要“用系统思维、科学方法推进管党治党内容全涵盖、对象全覆盖、责任全链条、制度全贯通，进一步健全要素齐全、功能完备、科学规范、运行高效的全面从严治党体系”。以全面从严管党治校引领保障中国特色世界一流大学建设，必须在“体系性”上下功夫，持续推动高质量党建与高校事业发展深度融合。

Promote the implementation and realization of the Party's overall leadership. Adhere to the Party's overall leadership over all work of the university, adhere to governing the Party and the institution with the spirit of reform and strict standards, and build the university into a strong bastion of Party leadership.

Continuously consolidate the achievements of Party discipline learning and education, improve the long-term mechanism for discipline and legal education and clean governance education, expand the scope to all teachers and students, extend the content to learning laws and regulations, and promote the transformation of heteronomy into self-discipline. Highlight the "lifeline" role of ideological and political work, accelerate the construction of a curriculum and textbook system with Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era as the core content, unify ideological, theoretical, practical, and teaching aspects, and continuously enhance the effectiveness and persuasiveness of ideological and political courses. Integrate and strengthen education on the history of the Party, the history of New China, the history of reform and opening up, the history of socialist development, and the history of the Chinese nation's development, carry out the inheritance and promotion of the spiritual lineage of Chinese Communists, and strengthen the simultaneous cultivation of being both red and expert, and both virtuous and learned.

推动党的全面领导落实落地。坚持党对学校各项工作的全面领导，坚持用改革精神与严的标准管党治党，把学校建成党的领导的坚强阵地。突出政治建设的统领性作用，严明政治纪律和政治规矩，坚决杜绝“七个有之”；提升党委领导下的校长负责制整体运行效能，发挥党建工作在把准方向、整合资源、支持保障等方面的重要作用；筑牢“强国一代”的政治灵魂，教育引导青年师生面向“国之大者”担当作为，听党话、跟党走。突出思想建设的基础性作用，健全完善用党的创新理论培根铸魂长效机制，准确把握党中央对高等教育改革发展的目标定位和部署要求，确保思想统一、方向一致。持续巩固党纪学习教育成果，健全纪法教育、廉洁教育长效机制，在范围上扩展至全体师生，在内容上延伸学习法律法规，推动把他律转化为自律。突出思政工作的“生命线”作用，加快构建以习近平新时代中国特色社会主义思想为核心内容的课程教材体系，把思政、理论、实践、教学统一起来，不断提升思政课实效性、说服力。一体加强党史、新中国史、改革开放史、社会主义发展史、中华民族发展史教育，开展中国共产党人的精神谱系传承弘扬，强化红专并举、德学共育。

Promote the institutionalization of the integration of Party building and business. Adhere to the simultaneous grasp of Party conduct and government conduct, school spirit and teaching spirit, and teacher ethics and conduct, leverage the comprehensive supervisory role of inspections, and deeply promote the concretization, precision, and normalization of political supervision. Promote expansion in the "depth" direction, adhere to the positioning of political inspections, strive to promote inspections to more precisely discover problems and effectively solve problems, deeply investigate prominent issues affecting high-quality development, implementing reform deployments, and comprehensive and strict governance of the Party, and deeply understand the situation of the inspected Party organizations in performing their functional responsibilities, preventing and resolving major risks, advancing comprehensive and strict governance of the Party in depth, and strengthening the construction of leadership teams and cadre and talent teams.

Treat the rectification of unhealthy practices and corruption around the masses as an important task to be carried out regularly, implement the long-term mechanism for rectifying formalism and reducing burdens at the grassroots level, and win the trust and support of teachers, students, and the masses with practical actions.

推动党建业务融合机制化。坚持党风政风、校风教风、师德师风一体抓，发挥巡视综合监督作用，深入推进政治监督具体化、精准化、常态化。推动向“深”拓展，坚守政治巡视定位，着力推动巡视更加精准发现问题、有效解决问题，深入查找影响高质量发展、落实改革部署和全面从严治党方面的突出问题，深入了解被巡视党组织履行职能责任、防范化解重大风险、纵深推进全面从严治党、加强领导班子和干部人才队伍建设等方面情况。推动向“专”发力，把党中央各项决策部署落实情况作为政治监督重点，带动基层党组织合力推动改革攻坚、促进高质量发展；聚焦重点对象、重点问题、重点领域，加大专项巡视力度、强化专业力量参与、强化专督专管；锻造高素质专业化纪检监察干部队伍，坚持授权和控权相结合，强化严格管理监督，打造忠诚干净担当、敢于善于斗争的纪检监察铁军。推动向“下”延伸，在巡视学校一级党委基础上，做深做实对二级党组织的巡视，强化对挂靠机构、异地机构的延伸巡视，坚持到一线下沉调研，切实打通全面从严治党“最后一公里”。把整治群众身边不正之风和腐败问题作为重要任务常态化地抓，落实整治形式主义为基层减负长效机制，以实际行动赢得师生群众信赖支持。

Promote the long-term effectiveness of comprehensive and strict governance of the Party. Firmly strengthen the determination and confidence in advancing comprehensive and strict governance of the Party, shoulder the political responsibility of rectifying conduct, enforcing discipline, and combating corruption, and build the university into a strong bastion of comprehensive and strict governance of the Party. Persist in the long-term effectiveness of discipline education, consolidate and deepen the achievements of Party discipline learning and education, integrate discipline education throughout the entire cycle of cadre growth and into the entire process of organizational management, highlight discipline learning and training for key groups such as “first-in-command” [15]15 “First-in-command” (一把手) refers to the leading official with primary responsibility in a Party or government unit, often the secretary or director. and young cadres, highlight innovation in discipline education methods, and guide Party members and cadres to internalize discipline in their hearts and externalize it in their actions.
