College is the most important basic academic organization in universities,so college governance is the key to the mod- ernization of the university governance system and capabilities. College governance culture is defined as the overall concept,system and behaviors gradually shaped by college stakeholders during the participation of college governance. The governance culture is essentially a people - oriented culture,with the characteristics of sharing,diversity,and development. According to the theory of cultural hierar- chy,the core composition of college governance culture can be decomposed into three elements: college governance philosophy,college governance system,and college governance behaviors. The three elements complement each other and coexist in harmony,forming the overall structure of college governance culture.
