Abstract

Universities must have their own system of order autonomous and respected externally. Therefore, as a member of the university community, professors and staff must be governed by unique discipline within the university. It is the “agreement” between the university council and the president (the university headquarters) that should be respected first among all forms of discipline in the university. No one's interference can be affected here, and this is the ‘university autonomy principle’. The decision to operate the university should be an intention of the university members. It is urgent to realize the institutional democratization of the decision-making system of universities from the question of who becomes president. By institutionalizing university democracy as a school order, we will be able to guarantee the democratic operation of the university regardless of details such as the election of the president or the qualifications of the staff of the position. In this regard, the professors' organization, which is the organization of all professors, can be regarded as an axis of university democracy as a subject that expresses the opinions of the professors. Transparent information sharing and consultation between university professors and university administrators around university restructuring is the only way to prevent unnecessary costly disputes while enhancing the effectiveness of university restructuring. One-way restructuring only causes confusion. The democratization of the university means the participation of the members soon. The problem-solving method of restructuring should also be democratic.
