The mission of the university is:

The mission of the university under the domination of the university concept requires that the students trained by the university should be noble and educated people first, which is in line with the essence of the university. This mission is to cultivate students' complete personality, purify their minds, cultivate their conduct and cultivate their ability to criticize things, not just to educate them professionally.

As Newman, a famous British educational theorist, realized: "From the argument of utilitarianism, we can see the deadly enemy of real education. Under the guidance of utilitarian theory, the new university pays more attention to professional training than cultural requirements, exams and results rather than psychological processes, and passively obtains facts rather than general psychological activities. "

Newman's "new university" runs counter to university logic and takes market economy logic and political logic as its mission.
