Abstract:  The management mode of economic projects in projected construction of higher education in China has result in many problems, including administrative intervention in academic competition, occupancy of valuable time for work, excessive concentration of resources on minority faculty, academic bubbles and false performances, weakness of power for sustainable development, increase of administrative cost and risk of managing failure. The main reasons are summed up as being lack of fully understanding the laws and rules of higher education development, copying the administrative mode, simply applying the business management techniques, and knowing little about foreign advanced experiences. To solve the problems and promote the scientific development of higher education, five suggestions are proposed: (a) pooling all the specialized outlays into one foundation and managed by classification; (b) inputting resources to universities based upon their budgets for strategic plans; (c) strengthening the academic power in decision-making; (d) innovating the institutions of investment and management; (e) speeding up the transformation of “ production relations” in higher education.
