Abstract: The inherent characters of “clean administration culture in universities and colleges” determine their own construction strategies: The “formal system” and the “informal system” should be combined to achieve “restricting power by authorities” in universities and colleges under the circumstances of “restricting power with power”. The “knowledge” and the “belief” should be integrated, besides the inheritance of the Chinese classical knowledge, the absorption from various angles of the “local knowledge” and the innovation toward “globalized knowledge form”, universities and colleges should also practice from “knowledge” to “belief”, promoting the formation of new values of clean government. The “state-society” construction should be carried out in parallel with each other, and universities and colleges should consolidate the national “grand tradition”; at the same time, they are also the regional centers for promoting the social “small tradition” of supporting clean government.

Key words: university administration, clean administration culture, knowledge products, belief crisis, social capital
