Abstract: The decision-making of university affairs should follow the principle and logic of academic orientation, which is also decided by educational and academic institutions themselves. The university affairs decision-making in the Republic of China was carried out by the president in charge and in the school academic committee and other power institutions under the system of professor management, basically following the principle and logic of academic orientation and reflecting the university decision-making mode and value criteria of “academic orientation” and the essential attribute of university as an academic institution. At present, in order to carry out governance reform of universities in China, we should discuss and summarize the decision-making of university affairs in the Republic of China, and provide an effective template for the return of academic orientation in universities.
