The leading structure of universities in China is the headmaster in chare of the internal management under the leading of the Communist Party Committee, and the internal academic regulation is a multi-culture system with the academic committee as the main role. The No.42 Item in Higher Education Law says, higher schools set up Academic Committees. They advise on the educational developing plan of these schools, and scientific research or the educating work of masters; censor and identify the results of research. professors manage academy; review the essays of masters'; take part in the censoring work of promotion of professor or vice-professor, etc. As an organization to perform the academic power and manage the academic works, the Academic Committee is the most effectively expressive way for the academic power. However, when the Academic Committees were set up in universities, they are attached to the administrable organization and does not have any power to make a decision on the academic events.

The article studies their systems of Academic Committees, and analysises deeply the internal organization, member's status, working systems and organization functions. This article also chooses a university at random as a case, interviewing the committee members to study their working condition. It has found some problems existing in the university Academic Committee by investigating: 1)The organization's position is not on their proper post; 2)The administrable phenomena are severe; 3) Rules and regulations are not perfect; 4) Their function is to be improved.
