This study takes a qualitative approach by collecting data from university archive and in-depth interviews. The data were triangulated to seek for common patterns and emerging themes. Five types of governance at the school and the department levels were identified: the pluralistic co-governance model, the academic-led model, the administrativeacademic coordination model, the academic-social interaction model, and the state-led model. The special features of each type of model were analyzed to reflect their suitability to the corresponding schools or departments.  \nINTRODUCTION  \nFor years, the Chinese government has been promoting thereform of higher education by continuously searching for areas of improvement with particular focus on diminishing administrative bureaucracy and decentralizing managing authorities. Many research oriented Chinese universities have taken the lead in reforming their systems of governance in response to the call of the Chinese government. Tsinghua University, a leading research university in China, has a long history of continuous reforms in higher education to meet the needs of social and economic development. In 2014, the Chinese government officially approved Tsinghua University to be one of the experimental fields for the comprehensive reforms of higher education in China. The university assumed the reform responsibility by starting with its personnel system as a testing ground. Then, based on the experiences of personnel system reform, the university initiated practical reforms of its governance in other areas such as education, scientific research and institutional mechanism. The reform effort of Tsinghua University in the structure and function of its governance body, particularly at the school and the department levels, can serve as a very typical model for other universities worldwide in conducting their governance reforms. The purpose of this study is to examine the effort of Tsinghua University in delivering its governance system for the improvement of system efficiency and effectiveness atthe school and the department levels. Tsinghua University is in the front line of research universities in China. The effort of Tsinghua University is leading other major Chinese universities in initiating reorganization of their governance systems.  \nCONCEPTUAL FRAMEWORK  \nTheory of Governance  \nYu (2014) stated that a system called governance needs to be created in an organization to generate specific guidelines as to how complicated encounters can be resolved. He claimed that, in any organization, attention needed tobe drawn to the detailed technicalities of the governance mechanism with work division and shared responsibilities so that all parties involved knew what were expected of them. Jessop (1998) also acknowledged that such a system of governance has proved to work in many university systems of multi-levelled authorities.  \nEducational Planning | Winter 2022 5 Vol. 29, No. 1  \nStakeholder Theory  \nFreeman (1984) explained the difference between shareholders and stakeholders of an organization. He claimed that shareholders of an organization were only interested in profit making as a result of the operation of the organization. Stakeholders of an organization consist of all members of the working team who plan and work hard together to meet the organizational goals. Some stakeholders may be coming from outside of the organization. They contribute to the success of the organization by offering monetary and material support besides personal time and effort. Freeman (1984) reiterated that stakeholders hold different positions and play different roles in the operation of the organization.
