Gyeongsang National University Establishes 'University Member Decision-Making Participation System'

[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kang Woo-kwon] Gyeongsang National University (GNU, President Lee Sang-kyung) announced on the 18th that it has established an 'Education Demanders' University Operation and Decision-Making Participation System' where not only faculty, staff, and students but also the general public can participate in the university's operation process.

Similar to the Blue House's public petition system, a space has been created where the general public can present opinions and participate in the operation of the national university. Various committee deliberations and policy promotion agenda materials necessary for major decision-making are disclosed in advance to create an environment where members can participate.

The Planning Office of GNU explained, "This participation system was established to promote opinions and policy proposals from university members and the general public, participation in decision-making, and preference surveys." Through this, communication among university members and between the university and the public is expected to be smooth, greatly contributing to the university's development.

A representative from GNU stated, "We named this system the 'UniCon System,'" explaining that it is a compound word of the legendary sacred creature and University and Conversation.

GNU requires that if more than 100 people agree with a policy proposed by the public within two weeks, the relevant department must respond. The department in charge must sincerely review the proposed content and take follow-up measures. For major matters, they must prepare a reflection plan, report it to the president, and notify the general affairs department (Planning and Evaluation Division).
