Research on the Corporate Governance Structure of Private Universities in Sichuan Province, China

Abstract

The issue of university governance structure is a complex matter that encompasses education, politics, economics, management, and law. Numerous studies have emphasized that regardless of a university's nature; it should be managed by a legal entity and be considered a legal person organization. The governance structure of universities has been a topic of interest for scholars in Western higher education research. In China, there has been a recent emergence of studies on the governance structure of Chinese universities, which have analyzed the structure from various angles, including theoretical basis, external governance structure, and internal power allocation. Some studies have attempted to create a general Chinese university governance structure model. Therefore, this article aims to provide a new interpretation of the corporate governance structure for private universities from a legal perspective.
