Views and Analysis on the De-administration of Chinese Universities

Abstract

In the process of reforming Chinese universities, the Chinese government has gradually systematized the management of universities, and the internal management service system of universities has also gradually become systematic. However, as the interaction between universities and administrative bodies becomes closer and closer, the tendency of administrativeization of universities becomes more and more prominent, which leads to a contradictory relationship between the administrative power and academic power of universities. This has led to a contradictory relationship between administrative power and academic power in universities. The administrativeization of universities will weaken the academic research in universities, dilute the academic atmosphere and make universities deviate from their original intention, making it difficult to achieve the most important academic goals. This paper analyses the root causes of the administrativeization of universities by studying the nature and performance of the administrativeization of universities, and comes to the conclusion that the administrativeization is due to the internal and external institutional structure of universities, as well as the traditional thought of officialdom in China. It also explores effective measures to promote the de-administration of Chinese universities from several aspects, such as transforming government functions, creating a service-oriented government and joining third-party organizations. The aim is to find effective ways to weaken the administrativeization of Chinese universities and to integrate and optimize the power structure of Chinese universities in the context of contemporary society, so as to improve the quality of Chinese universities and create a good academic atmosphere.
