Abstract

The expression of interests and demands by ethnic minority university students in border areas is a critical issue in promoting educational fairness and maintaining campus harmony. This paper, taking Yunnan Province as a case study, analyzes the types of interests and demands of ethnic minority university students, their modes of expression, and the obstacles they face. It explores how factors such as culture, institutional frameworks, and society influence their ways of expressing demands and proposes targeted guidance strategies. The research finds that the interests and demands of ethnic minority university students are primarily centered on economic assistance, equitable access to educational resources, and the protection of cultural rights. Their expression is often passive and disorganized due to traditional beliefs and institutional constraints. The paper suggests improving diverse channels of expression, strengthening legal education, and building mechanisms of cultural inclusivity to enhance the initiative and effectiveness of their expression of interests, providing valuable insights for the governance of higher education institutions in border areas.
