摘　　要：基金会办学是美国一流私立高校的重要特征。分析“罗伯逊诉普林斯顿大学案”可以发现,基金会是大学的“支持组织”,捐赠方无权控制或改变其治理结构;大学是基金会资产的“唯一受益人”,依法有权实施资本投资和管理收益;大学有履行捐赠方意愿的责任,但捐赠方无权干预大学就使用捐赠资金作出的学术判断。我国民办高等教育已正式进入非营利与营利性分类管理的时代,基金会办学模式在推动民办高校从“准营利”走向“非营利”,破解筹融资难的困境,由家族式管理转向现代治理等方面大有可为。The school-running with foundations is an important characteristic of firstclass private higher education institutions(PHEIs)in America.Analyzing“Robertson v.Princeton University”,it found that the Foundation was established as a supporting organization for the university,the donor family had no right to control or change its governance structure;Princeton was the sole beneficiary of the Foundation and it had the right to implement capital investment and income management according to law;the university had the responsibility to fulfill the wishes of the donor,but the donor family had no right to interfere with the academic judgment of the university on the use of the donated funds.Entering the era of non-profit and for-profit classified management of PHEIs in China,the mode of running PHEIs with foundations has great potential in promoting PHEIs from quasi-profit to non-profit,and from family management to modern university governance.
