Introduction: The School of Artificial Intelligence of Xi'an Jiaotong University has been approved to become a State Key Laboratory, but there is no funding problem for office building demolition costs. The college has decided to raise funds from teachers so that they can bear the costs. Academician Zheng Nanning, Chairman of the Chinese Society of Automation, is behind the State Key Laboratory, which makes the whole thing even more puzzling and regrettable. As a C9 university like Xi'an Jiaotong University, access to the construction of State Key Laboratory in the field of information should be within our capabilities and should not be short of money. Besides, Xi'an Jiaotong University has abundant funds, why do you want to donate to the teachers? Behind this issue lies a larger room for reflection, which is the current use of national funds and the management capabilities of universities.

The construction cost of State Key Laboratory is not guaranteed and can only be borne by teachers.

It should be a welcome news that the School of Artificial Intelligence of Xi'an Jiaotong University has been given the opportunity to jointly build a State Key Laboratory. However, due to the inability to pay for the demolition of the office building, the college had to launch a fundraising campaign with internal teachers. 44 teachers voluntarily donated a total of 2.03 million yuan. Unfortunately, such a State Key Laboratory needs contributions from teachers. This situation is unacceptable. In addition, this level of laboratory should have a large amount of supporting funds. In addition to the strong financial support of the school, under normal circumstances, there should be no shortage of funds exceeding 2 million yuan. However, the reality makes people curious about where the funds allocated by the country every year are actually used. This is a question that needs to be considered.

Expansion: The construction of State Key Laboratory needs a lot of financial support, especially the demolition cost of the office building. However, for the School of Artificial Intelligence at Xi'an Jiaotong University, this cost issue seems unsolvable. Therefore, the college can only turn its attention to internal teachers, hoping to fill this gap through their donations. Although teachers voluntarily donated a total of 2.03 million yuan, this situation has raised doubts about the use of university funds. Is it reasonable for a college that enjoys the level of State Key Laboratory to complete infrastructure construction through voluntary donation of teachers? More importantly, such a laboratory should be supported by many other supporting funds, and the school itself also has rich sources of funding. Why is there a shortage of funds above 2 million yuan? This has sparked profound thinking about the use of national funds and also raised doubts about the management capabilities of universities.

Why do key universities require teacher donations?

As a key university with a focus on engineering, Xi'an Jiaotong University's demolition cost of 2 million yuan, whether it is for educational expenses or horizontal project funding, can be said to be just a drop in the bucket. Therefore, it is puzzling why there is a gap in the funding for the construction of the State Key Laboratory of Artificial Intelligence of the School of Artificial Intelligence of Xi'an Jiaotong University, and teachers need to donate money to solve this problem? Schools that accept such important key projects usually deserve full support from the school. The annual funding support of 14.6 billion yuan from Xi'an Jiaotong University, combined with its advantages in the information field, should be sufficient to meet the funding needs of such a construction project. So, why do teachers use donations as a last resort? Is there a problem with the school's management ability?

Expansion: As a key university, Xi'an Jiaotong University's demolition cost of 2 million yuan can be said to be just a drop in the bucket, whether it is for educational funding or horizontal project funding. Therefore, the decision of the School of Artificial Intelligence of Xi'an Jiaotong University to build a State Key Laboratory and need voluntary contributions from teachers to fill the funding gap is puzzling. As a key project of the school, it should receive full support from the school, and Xi'an Jiaotong University's annual funding support of 14.6 billion yuan and its outstanding strength in the information field should be sufficient to meet the funding needs of such construction. However, why can schools only choose teachers to donate? Is there a problem with the school's management ability? This has sparked discussions and doubts about the management capabilities and fund utilization of Xi'an Jiaotong University.

Reflections and Expectations on the Principal's Management Ability

The current State Key Laboratory was once called the State Key Laboratory, and its status is only second to the state laboratory. In theory, schools should provide strong support for the construction of such a key laboratory. However, the fund-raising activities for the construction of the State Key Laboratory of Artificial Intelligence of Xi'an Jiaotong University are regrettable. Although the voluntary donations from teachers reflect their enthusiasm for the development of the school, this donation method does not appear to be well intentioned. An excellent principal must not only have a good image, but also possess a certain level of educational thinking and management skills. In the face of funding gaps, the ability and decision-making of the client are particularly important. When funds are insufficient, teachers can indeed be requested to donate, but this situation should be minimized as much as possible, especially with a funding of 14.6 billion yuan. This has raised doubts about the reasonable use of funds at Xi'an Jiaotong University and raised higher expectations for the president's management ability.

Extension: The requirement for university presidents is not just to have a good image. They also need to possess a certain level of educational thinking and excellent management skills. An excellent principal should be able to take the school to a certain level and play their role in the construction of key projects. However, the fundraising activities for the construction of the State Key Laboratory of Artificial Intelligence of Xi'an Jiaotong University have triggered people's thinking and questioning about the president's management ability. Although the school stated that the voluntary donations from teachers reflect their enthusiasm for the development of the school, the rationality of this fundraising method is still questionable. When universities face a funding gap, the ability and decision-making of presidents become even more important. If the president can effectively use the strong financial resources of the school, reasonably allocate funds, and plan the construction of key projects, then the financing events similar to the construction of the State Key Laboratory of Xi'an Jiaotong University should be avoided. Of course, in reality, the use of university funds is not only a matter of the president's personal ability, but also related to factors such as external environment and policy support. But as the top manager of the school, the principal should be able to fully play their role, solve funding problems, and improve the overall strength of the school.

Abstract: The demolition cost required for the construction of the State Key Laboratory of the School of Artificial Intelligence of Xi'an Jiaotong University has not been implemented, resulting in the school having to raise funds from internal teachers. However, this situation is puzzling and regrettable. As a C9 university like Xi'an Jiaotong University, with its advantages in the information field and abundant sources of funds, there should be no shortage of money to build a State Key Laboratory. This has sparked people's thinking about the use of national funds and university management capabilities. Therefore, in similar situations, the management ability and decision-making of the principal play an important role. It is necessary to have a certain level of educational thinking and management ability, reasonable planning and allocation of funds, to ensure the smooth construction of key projects. Although teachers' voluntary donations reflect their enthusiasm for the development of the school, schools should try to minimize the occurrence of such fundraising activities. The ultimate goal is to improve the overall strength of the school, rather than imposing undue economic pressure on teachers.
