Has the Power of Academic Committee Increased?——A study on the Power Allocation of Academic Committees in the “Post-regulation” Universities

Since the "Regulation of Academic Committee in Higher Education" has been promulgated, higher education institutions have formulated or revised the regulation of academic committee and reformed the organizational system of academic committee. Based on a case study of a research-oriented university, this study identifies that with the continuous institutional improvement of academic committee, the committee's transactional decision -making power has been expanded, while its institutional decision-making power has weakened. The institutional supply, the streamlining of administration and delegating power, and the resource allocation configuration are the main factors that affect the power distribution of academic committee.
