better monitor and evaluate university network opinion, this paper designs the monitoring and evaluation
system of university network opinion based on the information space theory and the new traits of network

survey and adopted the analytic hierarchy process to get the quantitative data for each metric in this
evaluation system. This quantitative system has overcome the ambiguity and shortcomings of
incomparability in previous evaluation methods, thus enhancing the accuracy and objectivity in the
process of monitoring and evaluating hot events of university public opinion.
