Abstract: University management by law and party conduct and anti-corruption construction at colleges and universities are inherently connected in the body of leadership， inner spirit， practice process and goals. They promote， permeate and complement each other. Because the education of party conduct and anti-corruption lacked direction and timeliness， its construction lacked systematicity and implementation， its supervision lacked counterbalance and effectiveness， and its sanction lacked exemplariness and deterrence， colleges and universities were faced with such challenges as the intense benefit game， the great impact of power abusiveness， the serious “Si Feng” problems and the weak concept of ruling by law. To handle these problems， the concept of ruling by law should be cultivated from the perspective of university management by law， and the system of party conduct and anti-corruption construction at colleges and universities should be established and improved based on the three dimensions—the basic position of education， the protective function of institutions， and the crucial role of supervision.

Key words: university management by law, college and university, party conduct and anti-corruption construction
