The university charter is the link between social law and the university system and is an intermediary platform for the university to interact with the government and society. This article discusses the meaning and characteristics of the university charter, analyzes the relationship between the university charter and the internal management system in universities. 1. Introduction The university charter is the full laws and regulations of the university, which governs work in the university in accordance with laws and regulations of the competent education authorities. It should clearly define the duties and powers of organizations and power structures, the rules for the appointment of personnel and the exercise of authority under the mission and purpose of the university[1]. The charter of the university should cover everything related to the management of the university. 2. The Process of Formulation of the Charters in the Universities In 1995, the “Law of the PRC on Education” stated that universities have legal qualifications and the right to self-government in accordance with the charters. In 1998, the “Law of the PRC on Higher Education” stipulated that the charter on the establishment of the university should be sent to the approving authority.

Conference Theme Four decades after its economic reform in the late 1970s, China is still undergoing rapid urbanization and socio-economic changes. Planning, as an important government function in China, has played a critical role in facilitating its urbanization process. At this critical junction of China's repositioning its development strategies and seeking solutions to respond to a wide range of socio-economic, equity and environmental problems, governance and its relationship with planning has become more important than ever before. Governance is the exercise of political, economic and administrative authority in managing urban and rural development and its people's wellbeing.

The economy is strong, so the conditions are good and money for research is very stable. In fact, the government is increasing investment in basic research, not only for large-scale facilities, but more generally. I see Chinese people coming back from working in other countries, as well as foreigners coming to work here. Although some have had good opportunities abroad, here they have excellent equipment and there is support for those starting up their own research. What do Shanghai and ShanghaiTech University offer foreign researchers? Shanghai is unique in being a huge city with such a high density of facilities. And there are more facilities planned for the future.

In this study, we provide evidence and discuss findings regarding tal- ent flow and intellectual diversity in library and information science (LIS) using a faculty hiring network of 274 full-time faculty members from 7 top LIS schools in China. We employ three groups of data items, including the universities they got Ph.D., their Ph.D. programs, and whether their graduation schools are iS- chools. We use these to develop a descriptive analysis of the community’s edu- cational backgrounds. We show that faculty members in Nankai University are the most diverse, while Wuhan University, Nanjing University, Renmin Univer- sity of China, and Peking University are experiencing intellectual inbreeding. Wuhan University has sent the largest number of talents to other LIS schools. Top LIS schools in China prefers those who graduated from LIS schools and more than half of the faculty members at each of the top 7 LIS schools graduated from iSchools. Overall, LIS faculty educational backgrounds analysis has con- siderable value in deriving credible academic hiring and revealing talent flow within the field.
