A university president has both academic and administrative powers. The power of the president of a university is considered absolute. Due to defects in institutional arrangements, confusion of occupational orientation, temptation from social environment, unrestricted exercise of power and confusion about one’s own cognition, it is possible for university presidents to abuse their power. Therefore, the president becomes the primary object of the power restriction and supervision in the university. This study puts forward some suggestions for restricting and supervising the power of university presidents from such aspects as “strengthening institutional construction”, “implementing the professionalization of university presidents”, “strengthening the influence and function of fine culture on presidents”, “promoting democratic governance of universities”, “strengthening the education and supervision of in-service presidents”, etc.
