Abstract: It is the basic principle for Chinese universities to achieve goodgovernance to better transform institutional advantages into governance efficiency.The effectiveness of university governance is greatly reduced by the crisis of the legitimacy of system design,the path dependence of system development and the action dilemma caused by the imbalance of structure and function of system practice.In order to restore the university governance ecology and improve the governance efficiency,we should return to the academic organization attribute of the university through the precise orientation of the role of the interest subject and the scientific reconstruction of the cognitive schema.We should practice the historical logic,rational logic and rule of law logic of institutional change by establishing and perfecting an institutional system that conforms to laws and regulations and embodies its own characteristics."Coercive" and "induced" institutional changes should be integrated through top-level design and benefit incentives.

Key words: university, institution, university governance, education governance, governance of academic misconduct
