Abstract

In this paper, we conduct thorough comparison between the faculty structures of China’s and American universities. We point out the existing problems in China’s universities’ faculty structure and their negative impact on the student training, such as the problems in professional ranks and titles, faculty educational structure, age structure, the studentteacher ratio and the student-employees ratio, etc. By drawing from the successful experience of American universities, we explore appropriate ways of improving the faculty structures in China’s universities. It is suggested to accelerate the process of society-sourced faculty team so as to broaden the sources of teachers, increase the number of high-grade teachers, improve the education levels of teachers, improve the age structure and reduce the ratio of students to teachers and employees.
