党的十六大提出必须毫不放松地加强和改善党的领导,全面推进党的建设的伟大工程。高等学校必须认真学习贯彻十六大精神,以“三个代表”重要思想统领党的建设。要坚持党的先进性,以改革的精神,不断加强和改善高校党的建设,更好地完成高等教育在新时期新阶段的使命。 The 16th CPC National Congress proposed that we must unswervingly strengthen and improve the party’s leadership and push forward the great project of party building in an all-round way. The institutions of higher learning must conscientiously study and implement the spirit of the 16th National Party Congress and guide the party’s construction with the important thinking of the ’Three Represents.’ We must uphold the advanced nature of the party and, in the spirit of reform, continuously strengthen and improve the party building in colleges and universities and better accomplish the mission of higher education in the new phase of the new period.
