As the management in culture domain, teaching management is related to management in political domain and economical one and also distinct from that. The distinction lies in that management in university teaching does not only contain richer educational characteristics but also ethical spirit; meanwhile it bears the function of regulating management. Thus it naturally forms and embraces two levels of ethical characteristics-the normative ethics and the virtue ethics.University teaching management itself had a strong ethical appeal, and the educators and other participants of university teaching management also have certain ethics appeal. These certain moral principles in university teaching management reach a consensus, thus form the appeal system of modern university teaching management. These appeals in fact call for and promote better regulation of management practice, formation of teachers' virtue. College teaching management has complex practice field and rich ethical spirit.
