The report of the 20th CPC National Congress clearly pointed out that guide and standardize the development of private education, pointed out a new direction and put forward new requirements for the classified management reform of private universities. From the perspective of route selection of private universities, among the 643 private universities surveyed, 69 universities choose for-profit, accounting for 10.7%; 110 universities choose non-profit, accounting for 17.1%; 464 universities have not been started yet, accounting for 72.2%, most private universities are still in a wait-and-see state. At present, the provinces that have completed or basically completed the project include Heilongjiang, Shanghai and Chongqing. Provinces that have not yet been completed include Beijing, Hebei and Inner Mongolia. The provinces that have partially completed and partially not yet started include Tianjin, Shanxi and Jiangxi. At present, we still face multiple dilemmas such as system dilemma, cognition dilemma and practice dilemma. It is suggested to strengthen the foresight and operability of institutional measures, carry out special supervision on classified management under the principle of “one university, one policy, one university, one plan”, and promote reform in a steady and orderly manner.
