In the context of the new era, disputes and conflicts among college students have manifested new characteristics, such as diverse subjects, complex causes, and networked influences, posing new challenges to the traditional administrative-led mediation model. As a crystallization of China's grassroots social governance wisdom, the "Fengqiao Experience," with its core tenets of "putting people first, addressing issues at their source, and resolving conflicts locally," offers a novel perspective for student affairs management in higher education institutions. This paper systematically explores the theoretical and practical logic of integrating the "Fengqiao Experience" into the mediation of university student conflicts. First, it analyzes the essence of the "Fengqiao Experience" from three dimensions: historical evolution, core connotation, and contemporary value. Second, it elaborates the theoretical logic of its integration into the university context, including the alignment of its "people-centered" principle with the educational philosophy of "student-oriented" and "fostering virtue and cultivating talents" in terms of value logic; the combination of "source prevention" and "process resolution" in functional logic; and the promotion of "relying on faculty and students" and "collaborative governance" in subject logic. Finally, a closed-loop model for conflict and dispute mediation mechanisms, comprising "pre-incident early warning and prevention, mid-incident multi-party mediation, and post-incident follow-up and consolidation," is constructed, and its implementation path is detailed. This study aims to provide theoretical references and practical guidance for universities in the new era to enhance their governance capabilities and build safe and harmonious campuses.
