According to Yao Kuo-shan, dean of Mingdao University, which has only been established for five years, the biggest characteristic of the newly established universities is a freedom from traditional constraints when establishing new programs. Furthermore, "market need" is Mingdao's top concern when establishing new departments.
創立未滿 5 年的明道管理學院教務長姚國山則表示，新設大學最大的優勢，是設立系所時沒有傳統的包袱，而「市場需求」正是明道在創系時最主要的考量。
