As an important embodiment of the rule of law in the field of education, governing universities by law is an inevitable choice for universities to promote the rule of law in higher education. In the process of promoting university governance by law in the new era, it is inevitable to encounter some practical problems. For example, the current rules and regulations fail to effectively promote daily management; teachers and staff have insufficient understanding of university governance by law, and litigation cases in colleges and universities continue to increase. This paper takes C university in Nanjing as an example to explore and study how to promote the university governance by law, and starts from three aspects: "whole chain" operation system, "closed-loop" management system and "one-stop" education service system, so as to ensure that the university governance by law is integrated into the overall development of university work and ensure that the rule of law awareness and rule of law are integrated into the modernization of university governance system and that the mechanism for publicity and education on the rule of law as well as teachers' and students' awareness of the rule of law can be improved.
