In the process of promoting the modernization of educational governance, the improvement of the modernization level of the university governance system and governance capacity depends on the rational construction of modern university power. Existing theoretical studies generally agree that administrative power and academic power are the core construction components of modern university power, and these two categories of power can be considered the cornerstone of the modern university power structure. However, there has been a controversy about whether political power, democratic power, market power, teachers’ power, students’ power, and other types of power constitute the necessary content of modern university power. On this basis, the academic community has formed the “dual construction”, “three-dimensional construction”, “pluralistic construction” and other theoretical models, but all have certain limitations. According to the interpretative approach of constitutional doctrine, the power structure of modern universities has a legitimate basis at the constitutional level. The threefold normative connotation of the power structure of modern universities can be deduced through the doctrinal interpretation of the important provisions of the constitutional text such as the goal of educational development, the right to education, and academic freedom. According to the systematization of modern university power based on functional orientation, administrative power, educational power, and academic power carry political, social, and autonomous functions respectively.
