The articles of association of colleges and universities are the basic legal documents for the operation of colleges and universities, which are related to the rights and interests and stable development of colleges and universities. The Interim Measures for the Formulation of the Articles of Association of Colleges and Universities specifies the formulation steps in detail, which will be interpreted in this paper.

Establish a constitutional drafting Committee

Colleges and universities need to set up a charter drafting Committee, including presidents, faculty and students' representatives. This can ensure multi-party participation, reach a consensus and lay the foundation for the formulation of the articles of association.

Democracy, openness and transparency

Colleges and universities should follow the principles of democracy, openness and transparency, solicit opinions extensively, and ensure the rationality, scientificity and operability of the articles of association. This can ensure the quality and feasibility of the articles of association.

Considering the guidance of the Ministry of Education

Colleges and universities should consider the guidance of the Ministry of Education when formulating the articles of association, and report to the competent education department in time. This can ensure the legitimacy and standardization of the articles of association.

Review and put on record

Finally, the articles of association need to be reviewed by democratic management institutions or congresses and reported to the education authorities for the record. The education authorities will review the articles of association from the aspects of laws, regulations and national policies. This can ensure the compliance and effectiveness of the articles of association.
