Categorical Management of Faculty in High Education: a case of University of Queensland

This study introduced the detail of categorical management of faculty in the University of Queensland, which would provide potential suggestions for domestic universities in their reforms on faculty management. The results indicate: first, the University of Queensland adopts, the University of Queensland pay attention to both the processes and ultimate outcomes of faculties' work. On the contrast, domestic universities often only pay attention to the outcomes. Given these, we argue several important points on faculty evaluation: 1. The evaluation should be more concrete and targeted. 2. The evaluation should be as simple as possible to operate whether it's qualitative-oriented or qualitative-oriented. 3. To protect faculties' academic freedom on the basis of fairness. 4. All constructive academic efforts should be included not only explicit academic achievements, but also the tacit academic creation.
