系统性：美国高校董事会制度的基本特征

Systematization：The Basic Character of the Governing Board Institution in American Higher Education

我国要通过成功地借鉴美国高校董事会制度来完善中国特色的现代大学制度，仅靠设置由校外人士参与的董事会是远远不够的。美国高校董事会制度是一个系统，其有效性越来越依赖于各个子系统之间的协同作用。只有认识到这一点，才能比较客观地设定我国现代大学制度改革的方向和目标。

To build a modern university system with Chinese characteristics， it is not enough to establish a kind of American style， which lays governing boards in higher education institutions. The governing board institution in American higher education is a system and its effectiveness more and more lies on the synergy effect of its sub-systems. This is an important point the followers must recognize.
