To SNU's professors,
three promises

₩300M compensation

How we pay our faculty will decide SNU's future. To attract and keep world-class faculty, a globally competitive compensation system has to stand behind them. It is the first task SNU must complete to leap into its future.

Base research fund of 30 million won

So research holds steady, we will provide ₩30M a year in base research funding. Free spending within the fund with no line-item caps, and administrative burden minimized through after-the-fact reporting.

3-course annual teaching load, with autonomy

A lighter teaching load to improve the quality of teaching and research. With the autonomy secured by the 2024 revision of the Higher Education Act, the annual teaching-load standard will be lowered from 18 credits to 9, and colleges and departments will be free to set it lower still, respecting their particular circumstances.

A word

World-class research and teaching come from world-class support. We will rebuild what makes SNU itself: autonomy alive, achievement respected, excellence connected to the world.

It begins with 333.

Sincerely, Joon-ho KANG
