大学章程中的修订条款研究———基于对“985”大学章程文本的考察

An Analysis of the Revision Provisions in the Charters of Project 985 Higher Education Institutions

This paper explores the charter revision mechanisms of Chinese universities by carefully analyzing the charter texts of thirty -eight Project 985 institutions as they were published at the Ministry of Education website. University charters， like their organizational constitutions， have the highest authority within HEIs. Revision mechanisms represent a renewing system for university charters. This paper argues that university charters shall， in a separate chapter， specify who or which body can initiate the revision process， under what conditions， and through what process. Good charter revision mechanisms shall reflect the principles of lawfulness， fairness， procedural justice and relative stability.
