University is a unique social group that consists of professors, students, and faculty member pursuing truth. In addition, it is a cradle for academy and knowledge inheriting and developing intellectual culture, while producing the intelligent necessary in society and locality. Incessant development of the university leads to brighter future of the nation and an important asset and indicative for measuring social capacity.
The university in the early days of Korean society conducted intrinsic mission of higher education institute, led the democratization movement while speaking out a sound criticism. Since the middle of 1980s, however, the university started to expand in quantity and compete each other due to new liberalism policy including the former President Roh's "private university tuition liberalization" and the former President Kim Young-sam's "Establishment of university Normativsystem". As a result, present private university took charge of 86% of higher education and brought about various problems such as ambiguous tuition raise, management's reserve payment, unnecessary engineering project, cartel between the political authority and private school conglomerates, etc. This situation discolors mission of education, research, and social contribution by the university and negatively affect the future of the nation as well as the locality.
What seems to diagnose and prevent private university from these problems is to secure 'accountability'. Accountability explains transparency and legitimacy of accountable administration and soundness for positive communication based upon evidentiality of every records. In addition, it keeps memory and history of private university and hands down onto later generation ideology of establishment of school and identity. But, at present recordkeeping of private university is located at a dead zone compared with other fields, and to solve this problem first of all, 'recordkeeping criteria table,' a controlling tool for recordkeeping shall be developed. Moreover, recordkeeping criteria table shall include the functions required to perform accountability as aforesaid.
Accordingly, in this study, I would like to set forth private university recordkeeping criteria table for development accountability. To do so, at first, I have looked into definition of private university accountability and necessity of recordkeeping criteria table as a theoretical review of private university recordkeeping criteria table for the necessity of accountability. In addition, I have also analyzed factors of accountability as included as well as considerations in the event of developing recordkeeping criteria table. Secondly, I have drawn out analytic method of records classification system, 'essential production records' for accountability and type of 'publication records type', criteria for 'retention schedule' related to life-or-death-authority of the records based upon records properties as a development methodology of private university recordkeeping criteria table. Thirdly, I have applied to Hanshin University such theory and methodology drawn out as a real development case of the private university recordkeeping criteria table.
