A Study On The Circumventing Running-risk Of The Private University

Since the reform and opening-up, private higher education institutions have achieved a marked success and become a vital new force in Chinese high education. However, it must be paid attentions that the risk problems not to be ignored exist behind the rapid development of Chinese private higher education institutions. Among these risks, there are five risks which are more influential and good for attentions, and they are management decision risk and education quality risk, financial risk, policy system risk, market risk (including student source, running school and obtain employment),. These risks don't exist in isolation, but mingle and influence each other, and make a risk combination that a risk may influence another risk or happen at the same time. While, various risks are in the condition of endless movement and change and once the little probability event happens, it will cause loss to the private higher education institution, even the closing down of the school.Compared with profit organizations, such as managing risks of enterprises, the running of private higher education institutions has the common features of general risks, such as the objectivity, polytropism, nondeterminacy, dualism and potentiality of risks, whiles as a high education organization of nonprofit, it has its own features different from the enterprise risks, such as the worse perniciousness, exigency, complexity, social sensitivity and groupment. Different from public universities, the private higher education institution is a customer-supporting higher education factory of self-financing, assuming sole responsibility for its profits or losses and independent running, presenting features of self-financing of funds for education, investment of running school, quasi marketization, and the strong independence and flexible mechanism of running school. Its developing road and special mode of existence different from public college determine the risks in the process of running private higher education institutions are larger. The bad management may lead to the insolvency, even bankruptcy, which is an important reason why the number of bankruptcy of private higher education institutions has a rising trend.Many reasons cause the risks of running private higher education institutions. The internal reasons are unscientific idea of running school, nonstandard inner management and obstructed financing channel. The external reasons are imperfectness of policy and law, the distemperedness of management system and social discrimination. As a result, it is not only the mission of manager of the private higher education institution or its bosses, but also the corporate responsibility of society and government to guard against and resolve the risks of running school. Seen from the practice of running private higher education institutions, whether its aim could be realized, and its risks avoided and kept away dependent on the compatibility of internal systematic elementary of private higher education institutions, including the choice of its own value, the optimization of resource of running school, the allocation of internal managing system and their harmonies and balances are the root of private higher education institutions guarding against and avoiding the risks of running school. The most pressing matters of the moment the private higher education institution should do include several respects, the first of which is to persist the scientific, rational and sustainable development, discard the idea of the running school of short-term, make a good developing location and plane, and guard against the risks caused by them, the second of which is to establish the risk awareness, set up a complete system of risk profile and early warning, improve its capability of dealing with risks and take preventive measures, the third of which is to improve the financial management of school, widen financing channels and guard against the financial risk, the fourth of which is to improve the system of quality assurance and monitoring, strengthen teaching management and guard against the risk of education quality, the fifth of which is to improve the system of legal person governance, establish the system of scientific decision and guard against the risk of administrative decision, the sixth of which is to improve the system of running school, actively develop the marketing of school and guard against the risk of market.Resolving the risks of running school and realizing sound progress of the school rely on the consolidation of the college's own power and the rising of its inner quality, which doesn't mean the government could look on with folded arms and let the problems slide. The government should assume corresponding duty on the guarding against the risks of private higher education institutions instead of absence. The good environment of policy system is an important condition of guarding against the risks of running school and promoting sustainable development of the school. Seen from the theory or the existing law, the government mustn't shrink from its corresponding duty. The most crucial and urgent contents of the duty are the introduction of idea transformation, the implementation of scientific plan, the perfection of law and policy, the establishment of financing aid, the reinforcement of macro regulation and the supply of operation service.
