On the cultural orientation of constructing modern university institution

University is a cultural organization. Thus the construction of modern university institution, which is different from that of modern enterprises, should give expression to its cultural nature. The orientation of institution construction internally lies in the construction of favourable atmosphere for culture and in the maintenance of the excellent spirit and tradition, which help keep the essence of university. Externally, this orientation lies in the coordination of the value conflicts between university and society and in the protection to university's cultural status. Academic freedom and university autonomy are the centralized reflection of cultural orientation.
