To proceed with university reform on the basis of the independence and autonomy of universities, it is essential to improve the management system, including the establishment of leadership by the president. For this reason, in May 1999, the National University Establishment Law was amended, the division of roles between a University Council and faculty meetings were clarified, and management advisory councils were newly established in each national university to incorporate the opinions of external experts about the important items concerning university management.
In addition, once national universities are corporatized in April 2004, top management *1 by a board of directors composed of the university president and university trustees will be established, and external opinions will be actively reflected in university management through the introduction of the external board member system (refer to Part I, Chapter 2, Section 1 ).
