Indeep implementation of the holistic national security outlook and to enhance the precision of our educational management, East China University of PoliticalScience and Law (ECUPL) prioritizes the safety of students’ lives and property.On November 19 and November 24, 2025, a special working group composed of full-and part-time international student advisors from the International School, incollaboration with the University Security Office, carried out comprehensive,campus-wide safety inspections at the Student Dormitory in Songjiang Campus and the student accommodations in Changning Campus. This initiative is a key measure aligned with the university’s “Strong Service, Strong Contribution” principle and its commitment to building a “Safe Campus.” It aims to integrate ideological security, fire safety, electrical safety, and daily conduct standards into a cohesive framework.
At the Songjiang Phase VI dormitory, the team focused on identifying hazards such as the use of high-wattage electrical appliances, indoor e-bike battery charging, unauthorized wiring, and blocked fire exits. On-site, students were briefed on Chinese university dormitory safety regulations. In the Changning Campus, inspectors carefully examined circuit loads in older buildings, emergency lighting, and access control systems, emphasizing that “safety is no smallmatter―responsibility weighs heavier than mountains.”
Throughout the inspections, the team engaged warmly with international students, patiently addressing their daily concerns and repeatedly reminding them:“Always turn off power and lock your door when leaving―it’s responsibility to yourself and to the community.”
Notably, rather than merely identifying problems amid objective constraints like aging facilities and limited space, the team actively pursued improvements―coordinating on-site with logistics staff to enhance public-area lighting and fire signage, and piloting a smart electricity monitoring system.This reflects the university’s governance philosophy of “student-centerednessand safety-first,” demonstrating both institutional resilience and humanistic care.
This cross-campus joint inspection served not only as a thorough “health check” of campus safety defenses but also as a vivid practice of ECUPL’s commitment to deepening the quality of international education and building an internationalized, secure campus environment.
Moving forward, International School will continue to strengthen the three-tier emergency response mechanism (“Advisor-School-University”), reinforce Party leadership and rule-based education, and promote safety awareness―internalized in mind and externalized in action.
Such safety inspections are conducted regularly each semester as part of ECUPL’s routine work, consistently identifying risks and optimizing services to create a safe, healthy, and orderly living and learning environment for all students.
