President of Tianjin University

The office of the President of Tianjin University, currently held by Jin Donghan (simplified Chinese: 金东寒; traditional Chinese: 金東寒),[1] was created with the founding of Tientsin University in 1895 as the governor officer of the school.

After the founding of the People's Republic of China, each president is appointed by and is responsible to the Central Committee of the Chinese Communist Party and the State Council, who is delegated the day-to-day running of the university. In reality, the university President reports to the Party Secretary in the university's Communist Party committee.
