51、 originally referred to an athletic conference of eight top universities in the northeastern US. The Chinese version, which was officially started in midOctober, consists of nine famous universities, including Peking, Tsinghua, Zhejiang and Fudan. The union is supposed to result in student exchange
52、programs, recognition of academic achievements, and other joint programs.The news of this Chinese “Ivy League” has received mixed responses from the public and press. Some negative critics have dismissed it as yet another example of the wishful copying of international practices without fully unders

The results could be more important than lessons and achievements.3The term “Ivy League” carries a sense of academic excellence, tradition and reputation. If borrowing such a term could encourage student

If this cooperation
57、 were associated with the “Ivy League”, it would just distract(分散) attention and resources and have a negative effect.2These Chinese universities are all staterun and most get their funding from the government. Theyre quite similar to each other in many ways and more cooperation wouldnt bring about
58、as much potential ability as between, say, public and private, or Chinese and foreign universities.3China should find its own way to develop worldclass universities instead of by copying some foreign practices.
