Abstract

From the beginning of the Qing Dynasty, the presidents of the universities and officers of the government have carried out a series of the world-class university construction. In 2015, Overall Scheme for Comprehensively Promoting the Building of World-class Universities and Disciplines was issued by the State Council of the People’s Republic of China, which is based on the tool rationality and the high performance management. The results prove that utilitarian value orientation is to achieve the great rejuvenation of China, goal value orientation is to pursue the performance, but the goal is ambiguous, in practice, it will have many deviations; basic value orientation is to establish quality assurance mechanism, institutions, third-party evaluation agencies and governments form a concerted effort to jointly promoting the construction of the world-class universities.
