ABSTRACT
Higher
education system can be divided into the dichotomy of structure according to
mission and reputation of the institutes: equipollent or hierarchical. However,
the hierarchical structure is in conflict with the value of social justice; the
equipollent structure is just the pursuit of equal access to higher education.
It is a fundamental issue of public policy how to balance the positive and
negative aspects of higher education structure, which involves choosing the
value of equity, competence, and liberty. Therefore, the government should
motivate institutes to stick to their goals to enhance reputation in their
respective types, avoid the hierarchical structure of higher education, and
especially enhance the mobility of different levels and types of institutes.
