University evaluation system is an important scale to measure university development, and it is also an effective tool to diagnose university development problems and a powerful lever to incite university development. A good evaluation system should not only reflect the degree of university development, but also guide the future direction for university development. Traditional university evaluation, represented by the four major world university rankings, is a typical judgment evaluation; while the emergence of the evaluation systems, such as Elective Carnegie Community Engagement Classification and Times Higher Education World University Impact Evaluation, to a certain extent, shows a new exploration in the transformation from judgment evaluation to development evaluation, which provides new ideas for the transformation and diversity of the perspective of university evaluation. First, the evaluation standard should change from “relatively single academic dimension” to “comprehensive sustainable development dimension.” Second, the evaluation content should change from “given” to “a combination of given and selective.” Third, the evaluation method should change from “focus on quantification” to “a combination of qualitative and quantitative.” Fourth, the presenting of the evaluation results should change from “seeking common grounds” to “seeking both common grounds and differences.” Fifth, in terms of evaluation orientation, universities should change from “national universities” to “world universities.” In a word, university evaluation should guide and promote universities to go beyond the pursuit of ranking, provide correct value guidance and reflect the essence of universities.
