국립대 총장 선출의 쟁점과 과제

Abstract

There is a conflict between the Ministry of Education and the National University in relation to electing the president of the national university. The reason was that there was a resistance from the universities because the Ministry of Education abolished the president direct electoral system, and introduced the indirect electoral system, due to the formation of factions and politicization, which is the problem of the president's direct electoral system, but on the contrary, the national university resisted the abolition of the president direct electoral system, which was claimed by the Ministry of Education, as an act that damages the autonomy of the university. In particular, it did not stop a lot of complaints in electing the president of national university as the Ministry of Education forced the national universities to abolish the direct electoral system and forced the indirect electoral system of another way with a subsidy. The main issue in electing a national university president is that the involvement of the Ministry of Education in electing the president of national university violates the university autonomy which is guaranteed by the Constitution, even though the Constitution has the constitutional grounds of self-government of university and the autonomy of university. To solve this problem, it is necessary to guarantee the autonomy to the national universities in the way of electing the president, to set the standard for the appointment request of the president of national universities, and to adjust to one with the most votes as presidential candidate recommendation, and to adjust the composition ratio in terms of expansion of the “participation system of university members”
