Since this century, the study on higher education institution whether in the world or in China shows a boom, the significance and the value of the study in higher education institution are not slightly inferior to that of the research of the institution in other areas. An important reason is that higher education has increasingly become the center of society as social development, power station and engine of the society. Another important reason is that the institution itself affects the developmental process and direction of the things. The research of higher education and the institution as a whole will accommodate the content of both higher education and the institution and will be of inestimable value:the implication of the study on higher education institution is the innovation of research, talent innovation and academic innovation, whereas the innovation of research, talent innovation and academic innovation to some extent depend on the innovation of higher education institution. System analysis, qualitative analysis and institutional analysis will constitute the basic method of the study and in the contemplation of the methodology I will select the appropriate and specific methods based the appropriate context so that the conclusions of the study of higher education institution in a particular field can be more clear and straightforward.The logic of the development of higher education institution in the world deduced the different myth of the history:the British higher education institution for the interpretation of the typical traditional style of institution logic; to Germany's higher education institution for the interpretation of the typical type of government institution logic; to the United States higher education institution for the interpretation of the typical type of migration institution logic. The different myth of the logic interpretation of three different higher education institutions shows obvious differences and this diversity, which blend into different aspects of different countries, nations, cultures and so on. Meanwhile, the different myth of the logic interpretation of three different higher education institutions demonstrates the common features, which three different higher education institutions maintain the greatest consistency as far as the most fundamental academic freedom and academic autonomy as the core of the university is concerned. I will demonstrate the theory of modern higher education institution within the internal university:the essential characteristics of modern higher education-the independent critical spirit of the university; the basic institution of the modern university-academic autonomy; the university's self-organization mechanism to continue in modern higher education institution. I will reveal the four key lines of the external theory of higher education institution:the external political protection mechanism of modern higher education institution, the supply mechanism of external financial resources of modern higher education institution; the external quality assurance mechanism of modern higher education institution; the external intervention of academic freedom and academic autonimy.The historical process of Chinese higher education institution experienced a big circle, such as "forced to open" (the generalization of the unconscious)-the value of a single selection approach-an attempt to diversify-a single value orientation-completely closed-fully open and diversified pattern, while higher education institution has experienced a cycle of dialysis, that reflects the monotonous, closed, centralized higher education institution is weakness and lack of vitality and diversity, openness, decentralization of higher education institution is full of vigor and vitality. The power relations status of modern Chinese higher education institution is the real foothold of the reflection and reconstruction of modern higher education institution. Based on the internal and external power relations modes I will research the power relaions status of modern higher education institution in an objective description of power relations withih the university such as administrative power, party power, academic professional power and their distribution and the external power relations. I will reflect and reconstruct the internal relations of the universities so as to be conducive to the formation of the core institutional system of the university. The relationship between universities and teachers and the relationship between universities and students all display a special administrative legal relationship, which embodies in an executive body of the university autonomy. The relationship between universities and teachers harmed teachers'right to job promotion, academic freedom and democratic management, and so on, and accompanied by university academic alienation. The university's administrative power did harm to the right to admission of students, enrollment rights, the right of diploma and degree certificates to obtain, and many other rights. The attribution analysis of the status within the university relations is believed that historical and political factors, the immaturity of the academic community, weak asymmetry and lack of fit between organizations, internal staff' lack of self-regulation and rights' lack of regulation and relief institution together caused these violations. Reconstruct the relationship within the university is:First, the adjustment of internal relations with the University is to achieve the common interests of universities and teachers and students; Second, the balance of power lies in a variety of colleges and universities to form an equal relationship; Third, procedures and institutions are to protect the interests of teachers and students. As far as the macro level of modern Chinese higher education institution is concerned, the reflection and reconstruction of the relationship between the government and universities is conducive to forming the kernel institution of the university and to support a good external institutional environment for the university. There were many problems in the government management of the university such as the government functions of the university administration did not straighten out, the spread of centralization gave to corruption and the university was lack of autonomy and diversity. And the problems in the government financial management of the university is mainly reflected as follows:the lack of total financial investment in higher education; the disproportion of higher education finical burden between the central government and the local government; further widen gap of higher education financial inputs between local governments; unreasonable proportion of higher education funding structure. The attribution analysis of this pattern is believed that the institution of the strong government and the poor school gives rise to this inevitable patter, the pattern of binary asymmetric has too deficiencies to overcome and the relevant personnel of higher education institutions should be response for this pattern. The reconstruction of the government management of the university is a complicated institutionatic project, which includes the supply of the institution, the establishment of filed parties and the necessary practice of the personnel within the institution. How to reconstruct the government financial management of the university, there are three methods as follows:one is to provide enthusiast financial institution to protect the total financial investment in higher education; another is to establish financial allocation intermediaries to improve reasonable investment; the last is to rebuild decentralization model of the central government and local governments to resolve the contradictions between them.The reconstruction of higher education institution is the unity of external reconstruction and internal reconstruction, the unity of the internal logic and external logic of higher education institution. In the reconstruction process of higher education institution, the institution is undoubtedly important that determines the people's values and behavior. At the same time, more should be aware the role and value of human in the institution and the interaction between the human and the institution. There is always interaction and two-two construction:the institution decides and influences people's attitudes and behavior norms; people's new ideas and behaviors can create new institution and construct new norms.
