Based on the principles of integrity, systematicness, focus and measurability, this paper constructs the evaluation index system of network public opinion governance in colleges and universities. It includes 3 first‐class indicators, 6 second‐class indicators and 12 third‐class indicators. Combined with the actual network public opinion events in colleges and universities, the evaluation indicators are verified in order to provide theoretical guidance for the effective governance of network public opinion events in colleges and universities.
