State universities, whose assets are dominated by buildings erected at the end of the 19th–first half of the 20th century, are facing a problem associated with significant depreciation of the property fund and an increase in the cost of its maintenance.

To choose the most effective methods of managing the assets of state universities, that will ultimately rise the efficiency of the universities, it is necessary to identify current mechanisms and methods of state property management.
The article analyzes the legal organizational forms of Russian universities and the procedure of interaction between the state university and the property owner. The current mechanisms used to manage the assets of a state university are described, including various methods of disposal, use and possession of real estate facilities.
