Abstract: At present,the universities mainly face five stability risks—political factors,contingencies,problems related to right,issues related to security and special groups.Thereby,we should develop the risk assessment system in these five aspects and effectively identify various kinds of uncertainties in universities.And in this way can we curb the stability risks from the root，prevent and alleviate the conflicts.Thus we can transfer the thought for maintaining the stability in universities from handling aftermath to preventing beforehand.

Key words: stability in universities, risk assessment, assessment index system
