Hence, the urgent need to reform the way of the division and organizational form of knowledge-based labor in the the grass-roots organizations of university. The new grass-roots organizations system should be beneficial to the discovery of knowledge compare to the the transmission of knowledge .And the division of labor also should be based on the scientific research that oriented by the classification system of knowledge to creat the university's internal organization and operating mechanism compare to based on the community-oriented professional education .Discovery, transmission and application of knowledge is discipline's mission. Discipline have scholars as the main body, supported by the knowledge of information and all types of academic resources, based on the specific classification of knowledge in scientific research, personnel training and social services in the University of grass-roots academic organizations.
