As to the academic power， the subjects are academic organizations at different levels set up by the statutes of the higher education institutions; the objects incorporate mainly academic affairs as well as other affairs related to academic affairs; and the content comprises the deliberative power， the right to evaluation， advisory and adjudication. However， there are still interferences and problems in the implementation of the academic power.
