Resources,Reputation and Opportunities:the Driving Mechanism and Policy Pathway for the Classified Development of Higher Education Institutions
The stage of mass higher education needs to maintain diversified development to respond to the various requirements of society in the areas of education,science and technology,talents and services.However,the homogenization tendency of China's higher education institutions has hindered its classified development,which is rooted in the legitimacy pressure generated in the specific higher education institu-tional environment.In order to promote the differentiated university operation and classified development,it is necessary to construct multiple motivation mechanisms such as resources,reputation and opportuni-ties for different types of colleges and universities through the reform of higher education management sys-tem and the innovation of related systems or mechanisms such as classification funding and diverse evalua-tion.Therefore,the direction and goal of government policy optimization is to institutionally ensure a rela-tively balanced resource allocation of and a relatively fair reputation accumulation as well as the access to opportunities for different types of colleges and universities so that a good institutional environment and educational ecology for the classified development of higher education institutions can be created.
