Abstract

Based on the context of the self-media era, this paper explores the challenges facing university student management and pathways for paradigm shifts. The study indicates that the proliferation of self-media platforms has restructured information dissemination methods, eroded traditional management authority, heightened public opinion risks, and led to changes in student individual characteristics alongside declining collective cohesion. To address these challenges, universities should shift management philosophies from “unidirectional control” to “two-way interaction,” establish student-centered management models, integrate social media into teaching and assessment systems, develop digital interactive platforms, enhance media literacy among management teams, and create comprehensive online behavior monitoring and guidance mechanisms. The study emphasizes that university student management must undergo a transformation: from offline to blended online-offline approaches; from transactional management to ideological guidance and crisis response; and from hierarchical structures to flatter, institutionalized frameworks. This evolution is essential to meet the demands of the self-media era. Finally, the article notes that current research lacks large-scale empirical support and calls for future studies to conduct more case tracking and forward-looking investigations.
