As an institutional arrangement, higher education resource was centrally administered by the government under the planned economic system. In response to the needs of socialist market economy development, higher education resource allocation should be based on the principles of equity and efficiency. The higher education in Hunan Province has mage great progress these years, but problems such as regional imbalance, gaps between colleges and universities, repeated construction of disciplines, disorderly competition between colleges, and students’ lack of learning enthusiasm and competition still exist. The tertiary structure, the admission and transfer stimulations of CA Master Plan provide some options.
