    Using the data of presidents of “Double First-Class” construction universities from 2000 to 2020, this paper constructs an analytical framework for the types of university presidents’ roles. The cluster analysis finds that there are seven types of university presidents: internal leadership, education expertise, academic expertise, activity expertise, education influencer, academic influencer and all-round leadership. The role type is significantly related to the personal characteristics and educational background of the university presidents, and the type of the universities. The time trend shows that the role types of presidents are closely related to the needs of higher education governance in China, and the types of academic influencer and academic expertise become two main types of university presidents in the new era. Based on the above analysis, this paper proposes that the external governance of university presidents should be improved and the development of multiple roles should be promoted; the selection of presidents should broaden the path of selection and value-based leadership should be emphasized.

    Improving the education quality of Minban higher education institutes is an important part of promoting the universal access of higher education and building a high-quality education system. Based on the Plural Subject Theory, the mixed research results of the interview texts of the four core stakeholders such as governors, teachers, students and employers in Q Institute case show that different stakeholders have different emphasis, but generally believe that the “quality” is the combination of subject participation, teaching interaction, institutional norms and environmental shaping. Specifically, different stakeholders have basically reached consensus on the key subject, comparative evaluation and microenvironment, but there are still some differences on the subject range, teaching orientation and macro-environment. In this regard, we should take “negotiation quality” as the action goal, and on the basis of consolidating the consensus of “teaching/learning” interaction, pay attention to the dynamic balance of “supply/demand” of education externally, and reconcile the value conflict between “system (norm)” and “subject (development)” internally.

    In response to its domestic higher education quality crisis at the beginning of the 21st century, Australia made national efforts to reconstruct its higher education teaching evaluation system. Through top-level design, Australia deconstructed the segmental standards of education quality and the characteristics of students’ growth stages, broke the institutional barriers of evaluation, integrated repetitive surveys, and adopted a developmental view of evaluation, and finally built an annual evaluation system that covers students’ growth path from enrollment, studying, graduation to early career development. In order to guarantee the system’s quality, Australia ensured the representativeness, variety, authority and professionalism of the participating subjects in the process of reconstruction. Australia also established a centralized democratic system to ensure the reconstruction process fully integrate the opinions and suggestions of different subjects, and find the maximum convention in the reform contradictions, which also ensures efficiency in decision making to promote the smooth implementation of the reform. The Australian experience has positive implications for establishing regular teaching quality evaluation system with in China.

    Based on the panel data of 31 provinces in China from 2003 to 2019, this paper analyses the characteristics of the spatial and temporal distribution of postgraduate human capital and identifies the direct local, time-lagged and spatial spillover effects of masters and doctors on economic growth. The results show that the global spatial correlation of human capital of graduate students firstly decreases and then increases, and the local spatial correlation is mainly positive, showing High-High and Low-Low agglomeration patterns. The human capital of postgraduates has a significant local direct effect and a spatial spillover effect on economic growth through the factor accumulation mechanism. The human capital of doctor has a negative time lag effect on economic growth through technology imitation mechanism. In different regions, the technological innovation effect of doctors in the east and middle regions is remarkable, while the material capital in the west contributes significantly to economic growth. Therefore, the colleges should optimize the scale, structure, and quality of master and doctor, focus more on improving innovation ability, and adjust the spatial layout of postgraduates according to local conditions.

    Although there are differences in the procedures, objects and effects of the supervisor’s examination behavior in different degree-granting units, it is a common practice in the process of degree awarding in universities of China. From an educational point of view, supervisor’s examination right can be derived from the corresponding clause of the Teachers Law, but it also brings certain limitations. From a management point of view, the supervisor’s examination behavior is the process by which the supervisor performs the internal administrative procedures. After realizing that the supervisor’s examination right has the dual attributes of education and management, the purpose of regulation the supervisor’s examination right can be achieved by seeking educational legal support, improving the construction of internal rules and improving rights relief channels.

    The compensation reform of university teachers is an important issue in the field of higher education in China. Based on a large-scale microscopic survey data, multiple regression analysis, Shapley and Owen decomposition techniques are used to get the conclusions: The actual salary level of Chinese university teachers is low, and there is a large gap between expected salary and actual salary; The pay satisfaction of Chinese university teachers is not high, especially the satisfaction of pay level and pay increase; The pay level and pay structure are both very important factors to influence the pay satisfaction; Improving the pay level, rather than the pay structure can more increase the pay satisfaction; Improving the incentive compensation including pay increase, rather than the guaranteed compensation can more increase the pay satisfaction. For the compensation reform in the future, it is recommended to improve the sense of actual gain and expected satisfaction for the salary of Chinese university teachers; establish a long-term effective pay increase mechanism; focus on solving the benefit problems concerned by young and middle-aged teachers with a heavier family financial burden; optimize the pay structure, make the guaranteed compensation stable and stress on the incentive compensation.

    In recent years, more and more universities in China promote the reform of tenure system by learning from the experience of American universities，which has become important trend of the reform of the university faculty appointment system in China. The logical starting point of the tenure system is to ensure the academic freedom of university teachers，and its system design conforms to the internal requirements of universities as academic innovative organizations for faculty motivation, and provides an effective system guarantee for attracting, selecting and motivating outstanding talents. The system has its inherent limitations and scope of application. Faced with criticism and doubts from society, American universities began to take various measures to reform and improve the system. Universities in China should understand the inherent logic, objectively recognize the advantages and limitations of tenure system, and reasonably learn from its institutional core, break through the bottleneck in the reform and gradually establish the faculty personnel system that is compatible with the actual situation of Chinese universities.

    The higher education system is a matrix structure formed by the intersection of institutions and disciplines. The identity of university teachers overlaps with institutions and disciplines. The evaluation of university teachers is a key issue for the governance of university teachers in the dimension of institutions and the construction of academic communities in the dimension of disciplines. The teacher evaluation system of Paris-Saclay University is composed of pre-service admission recruitment evaluation, post-service professional title promotion and daily performance evaluation. It promotes the re allocation of evaluation power, the redesign of evaluation system, and the diversified reform of evaluation subjects in the institutional dimension. It revises evaluation techniques and means in the disciplinary dimension, clarifies the focus of evaluation content, and solidifies the legal basis of evaluation. Its evaluation system and reform logic are both national and universal, we should deepen the reform of university teacher evaluation in the new era from the two dimensions of colleges and disciplines.
