Abstract

Literature review on the institutional transition of Chinese higher education indicates that the fundamental reason for current conflict between teaching and research in local universities rooted mainly from the traditional educational resource allocation and evaluation system as well as the state central power traditions generated in the elite education era. The institutional reformation falls behind the current society development requirements of higher education popularization. Therefore, the institutional countermeasures could be: Setting up Diversified Fund and multivariate evaluation System as well as empowerment to universities for state education policy makers while reforming faculty management and students training systems for the universities. This conclusion suggests that Chinese higher education requires further reformation on the institutional level rather than that on the university management level as of the past theory and practice indicated so as to copy with the higher education popularization era.
