Teacher Groups: Another Approach to Protecting Teacher Rights and Interests from the Perspective of Social Law

Abstract

The dismissal of English teacher Liu Lingli from the Bowen College of Lanzhou Jiaotong University during her cancer period has sparked many thoughts on the rights and interests of teachers in private universities. Private university teachers enjoy a similar legal status as public university teachers in law, but in fact, they are far from it due to differences in legal and ownership systems. To better safeguard the legitimate rights and interests of teachers in private universities, we should start from the perspective of social law and form a social team composed of private and public institutions to maintain the status of teachers.
