In August 2020, in order to further standardize the naming of colleges and universities, in accordance with relevant laws and regulations, combined with the actual work of setting up colleges and universities, the Ministry of Education researched and formulated the "Interim Measures for the Naming of Colleges and Universities" (hereinafter referred to as the "Interim Measures") and officially issued it.

Presumably everyone knows that the "Lakeside University" founded by Ma Yun was renamed "Lakeside Innovation Research Center", this is because Lakeside University is not an educational institution, but it uses the word "university" as a signboard, which is a violation of the regulations of the eight departments, so if there is such a situation in the futureThe eight major departments will also be punished in accordance with the regulations, and if there are serious circumstances involving violations and crimes, they will also be investigated for criminal responsibility, so I also hope that the founders will not "sell dog meat on the head of a sheep" in the future!

First of all, in recent years, many enterprises or social organizations have fraudulently used the names "university" and "college" without approval, and used such signboards to carry out publicity, enrollment and other activities, which not only caused public misunderstanding, but also disrupted the order of education and had a lot of adverse effects on society. Therefore, the Ministry of Education and other eight major departments have jointly issued amendments, hoping to rectify these unhealthy tendencies.

Generally speaking, private enterprises or social organizations that register and set up internal training institutions without approval must be named under the guidance and regulation of the relevant departments. Moreover, the opinion clearly states that no private enterprise or social organization may use names and abbreviations that are likely to cause ambiguity, such as "university" or "college", let alone use such signboards to carry out any form of publicity and other activities.

At the same time, the Opinion also clearly states the provisions on penalties. If you do not follow the regulations, or use ambiguous names and abbreviations such as "university" and "college" without authorization, you will face penalties such as rectification and name change. If it violates the regulations and cheats money in the name of educational institutions, it will also be punished by law, and the eight departments will also investigate the criminal responsibility of the violating enterprises in accordance with the law.

However, considering that the control is so strict now, there should be no risky companies, and it seems that educational institutions in the future will indeed become clean and transparent again.

Universities and colleges are legal entities with specific functions and functions, which shall be established with examination and approval in accordance with laws, regulations, and standards and procedures prescribed by the state, and their names can only be used upon approval. The university shall be examined and approved or filed by the education administrative department in accordance with the law; According to the level, type, and nature of the legal person, the college shall be examined and approved by the relevant departments of the state or the provincial people. Public institutions with the status of "universities" or "colleges" and independent legal persons that are involved in the establishment of institutions shall report to the establishment department for examination and approval in accordance with the authority and prescribed procedures for the establishment of institutions.

The specific rule is that the name must be very artistic, have that kind of vividness, and the whole name must not be particularly cumbersome, so this rule is very strict.

The university is approved or filed by the education administrative department in accordance with the law; The college shall be examined and approved by ** and the relevant departments of the state or the provincial people** and their relevant departments in accordance with the law.
