The reorganization process must ensure the legitimate rights and interests of all stakeholders, maintain regular operations, and prevent any negativity, financial losses, or waste of resources.

The university falls under the direct professional management of the Ministry of Education and Training (MOET) and administrative management of the People's Committee of Da Nang City.
