This paper analyzes the attitude of university leaders and teachers towards science popularization from a micro-political perspective. Universities have abundant scientific and technological resources, research facilities and human resources. Therefore, they possess advantages and play an important role in science popularization. In recent years, all sectors of society and universities themselves attach importance to science popularization in universities, while its development is unsatisfactory with many problems demanding prompt solution. The reasons are complicated. From the micro-political perspective, the evaluation system inside and outside universities has immediate impact on the attitude of university leaders and teachers towards science popularization, which is the main cause for the problems.
