Recently, most people have generally come to recognize the great achivements which higher education has made during our motherland's historical process of reform and opening up. In the last 30 years, the attempt by higher education to help reform and opening up has been a tremendous success. During the process, higher education has never stopped supporting our socialist modernization with more and more talents. When we come to talk about this, many people may wonder how higher education could meet such wonderful success. To a great extent, how resolutely an executive in a university could implement the central government's demand and how they work creatively determines what a score can a university get. At a nationwide meeting on universities' Party building work, Xi Jinping made a speech and pointed out that university executives were leaders in the way of reform and development for universities, they should also act as organizers and promoters. Whether could we run a socialist university in a scientific way, the key is the ability of university excutives. In practice, many facts have proved that performance evaluation of university executives is always playing a great role. On one hand, it could help them to affirm the focus of their work, on the other hand it could ignite their enthusiasm for work, and also guide the direction of their work. A reasonable performance evaluation system can largely affect their enthusiasm for work. Meanwhile, it can serve the purpose of training and appointments of university executives either.In this paper, an analysis of the research background were stated firstly, combined with the characteristics of university executives and their exceptive working environments. At the same time, the theory related on performance evaluation, DEA research were listed out. Secondly, this study conducted a survey of the performance evaluation on university executives by questionnaire, which covered the following parts: the status quo, knowledge requirements, capacity, personality characteristics. Besides, a further contrast has been made between the Anglo-American and other developed countries. From the research, we summarized the advantages and disadvantages according to the existing data above. Next, on the basis of the consolidated results of the questionnaire, we took main factors into account to build a set of indicators, which comprises some representative factors such as morality, ability, diligence, and achievements. Thirdly, A DEA-based performance evaluation model for university executives was built. In the first part of this chapter, an analysis of the basic theory and application of DEA were introduced, following the introduction of DEA models such as CCR, BCC, ST, FG, and NEW, etc. And then , this part described the DEA-based performance evaluation model for university executives. Under this research, precondition was listed out to be a basis of the following study. and the results show that when input and output items of this model were of uncertainty, it still can evaluate the relative effectiveness of the performance of university executives perfectly. Fourthly, some measures that can help university executives to improve their performance were proposed out. Basing on the earlier theoretical research, this part made a deeply analysis of the working environment of university executives. because the analysis is also based on the policy level, it may also serve as some further suggestions for government in the establishment of comprehensive performance evaluation system for university executives. In a word, it can help the government to have a new perspective on the status of executive masters's perfomance evaluation, thus they can develop a more reasonable evaluation indicators system aiming at our executive masters. Finally, a summary of the theis was made, and some further research on this field were also listed out.
