Personnel system is an important part of modern college governance. There are some problems existing in the current personnel system of colleges in China, for example, the expectations of appointment system are not achieved, the title conferring system is not perfect, and the assessment and evaluation procedures are deficient. Reasons that result in such problems include lack of strategic awareness in respect to thinking, restrictions of existing policies and laws, and insufficient incentive in the income distribution system etc. The approach of reform is to free our minds, to change our ideas, and to establish the concept that human resource is the primary resource of education, so as to actively and steadily carry forward the reform of personnel system and to improve the income distribution system. The reform of college personnel management system is the key of establishing a modern college system. Although Chinese colleges have made a lot of efforts in exploring the reform in this respect and have achieved great results and accumulated many precious experiences, yet there still exist many outstanding problems.
