With the rapid development of society and the advancement of globalization, higher education management faces numerous challenges. To address these challenges and ensure the long-term stable development of higher education institutions, it is crucial to incorporate the concept of sustainable development. Sustainable development in higher education management aims to achieve a harmonious coexistence of education, economy, society, and environment, ensuring that universities can enhance educational quality while adapting to future changes and needs. This involves various aspects, including but not limited to continuous improvement in educational quality, rational utilization and allocation of resources, environmental protection, and the impact on society and economy. It requires universities to integrate sustainable development into their management processes and adopt corresponding measures and strategies. However, achieving sustainable development in higher education management is not an easy task and requires the joint efforts of university administrators, teachers, and students. Through continuously improving their capabilities, optimizing management strategies, and resource allocation, universities can achieve sustainable development while ensuring educational quality, contributing to the prosperity of society and the economy.
