1 The President’s Message
On the publication of the 2010 English Handbook
I am deeply grateful to our professors for their constant efforts in searching for truth and in educating the new generations. On the basis of its faculty’s devoted efforts, Sogang has grown to be a top-ranking university in a short span of time, and is celebrating this year its fiftieth anniversary. Now, with the newly launched vision of “Special Sogang,” we have embarked on an even more dynamic period of change and development. I am proud to think that in future “Special Sogang” will be able to enjoy a yet higher reputation, not only inside Korea but internationally. In order to see through this transformation effectively, as our professors know, Sogang is engaged in modifying and revising its rules in order to become an advanced academic community.
I am glad that a new edition of the Handbook is being published this year. It contains all the University’s main rules and regulations. I hope that it will prove to be a great help to our faculty in their teaching and research, containing as it does detailed information about professors’ duties, rights, welfare provisions, etc.
In particular, with its clear presentation of professors’ duties and rights, it will serve as a very useful guide to new professors as they make their first steps as members of the Sogang community. It contains information that was previously available to the faculty through the Sogang home page or other sources, but that is now made much more easily and clearly available within a clearly organized single volume. In future, ongoing revision of the detailed contents will ensure that this handbook becomes an ever more reliable guide for professors in their teaching and research.
I would like to express my thanks to the staff in the Academic Office who have worked so hard to produce this Handbook.
Lee Jong-Wook President, Sogang University
2 Professors' Ethical Manifesto
Preface
As an institute of higher learning established on the basis of the Catholic world vision and the educational ideals of the Society of Jesus, Sogang University seeks to be obedient to the truth, striving to establish justice and promote peace; it places a particular stress on the service of our neighbors. The professors of Sogang University recognize the importance of the influence exercised by the university on the nation and on society; in order to fulfill their social duties and moral responsibilities to the full, they have formulated and pledge to put into practice this "Professors' Ethical Manifesto."
Practical Guidelines
1. Professors, as educators devoted to the transmission of knowledge and wisdom, endeavor to communicate scholarly excellence and form intellectuals endowed with a spirit of initiative. Each professor devotes particular care to the students, focusing on teaching and guidance, evaluating each student impartially, respecting their ideas and individuality.
2. As scholars, professors undertake research with a scholarly conscience and respect their social responsibility regarding the results of their research while striving to attain success. Professors endeavor to achieve progress in scholarship with an honest and open attitude while maintaining a critical approach, plain and concrete, regarding the ultimate goals of their research.
3. As people who serve, professors willingly undertake administrative duties or consultative services inside or outside the university, responding sincerely to such calls in a way that befits their position. Professors, recognizing that they are at the same time part of the university community and members of society, encourage a rational, equitable approach in performing their duties, while always pursuing a universal vision.
4. As human beings, in order to serve as models to their students and receive respect in society as paragons of morality, Professors, take care when they speak and value their honor. While observing the laws and the regulations of their profession, they share what they have with their neighbors, concerned about the situations of others and respecting them as human beings.

Sogang University : Education
Educational Mission Educational Goals Educational Objectives
Educational Mission
Sogang University was established by the Society of Jesus to provide an education based on Catholic belief and inspired by the Jesuit educational philosophy, in conformity with the Korean tradition of education. Sogang University's goal is to educate the whole human person on foundations of love and faith, encouraging all its members to be intent on the pursuit of learning in a sincere quest for truth, resolved to practice justice and respect the human dignity and worth of every person. Through this education, we aim to cultivate people of talent who will devote their lives to the development of a humanistic culture and the union of all mankind.
Educational Goals
As an educational institution under the guidance of the Society of Jesus, Sogang University aims to provide an education that teaches the veneration of God and an understanding of life's true meaning, according to the tradition established by Jesuit universities throughout the world over the last 460 years. The education offered at Sogang University is designed to form intellectuals who combine academic excellence and creative originality, following the Jesuit tradition that has always pursued qualitative prominence. It is designed to train citizens with outstanding leadership abilities, able to contribute to society and the nation in a spirit of devotion and a sense of responsibility, with mature and integrated characters, true cosmopolitans able to contribute to the national prosperity and world peace, equipped with an understanding of the changes the world is undergoing and the current of the times, and able to respond to them with sound critical judgment.
Educational Objectives
11 Sogang University hopes that its education will produce mature adults possessed with a sound moral sense, a cooperative spirit, an upright world view, and an active ability to adjust to the changes of the times. We have formulated the following concrete objectives in order to train competent persons with real cultural ability to achieve the common good through human-centered studies.
1. Sogang University will pursue an education founded on evangelical values. It undertakes to promote a humanistic education that cultivates respect of human dignity and self-control, a sense of mutual respect based on trust and love. Its goal is to educate the finest students so that they emerge with morally just and sound characters, eager to serve others.
2. Sogang University undertakes to cultivate in people of marked talent a sense of mission toward the modern age so that they are full of a desire to serve with others, for others. For this, the members of faculty should spend much time giving individual guidance to the students so that they gain a sense of self-confidence and a positive outlook. Likewise, the faculty should do their best to inculcate a cooperative spirit that promotes teamwork and encourages students to participate actively in service activities.
3. Sogang University seeks to produce graduates who are able to actively participate in international society beyond all linguistic, historical, cultural, and geographical limits. Students are encouraged to learn foreign languages and cultures, and to develop their own cultural attainments. Based on a right understanding of Korean culture, we aim to cultivate minds that can comprehend the cultures of other nations.
4. Sogang University respects the diverse cultures and values that exist in the world. It is determined to develop and share the rich and varied cultural heritage of mankind by accepting the national traditions and heritage of other nations, by communicating and exchanging with them. Its goal is to educate creative human beings who can unite their own traditional culture with the culture of other lands, harmonize oriental wisdom and the western intellectual tradition, and so invent a new culture in their own land.
5. Sogang University attempts to achieve a balanced academic development by pursuing superiority not only in the traditional fields of humane and social studies and natural science but also in newly appearing fields of study and research. By providing a well-balanced education in diverse academic areas, it aims to foster future-oriented talents equipped with critical judgment who can respond creatively to the changes in the information-oriented, image-dominated knowledge delivery systems of the 21st century.
12 6. Sogang University strives, through its research and practice, to accomplish national and world peace. We are committed to developing a Culture of Life actively, in order to promote our students' awareness of the supreme dignity of human life and the value of the environment, in a deep concern with human rights, social justice and social welfare.
To give concrete form to the Educational Mission of Sogang University, based as it is on the educational vision of the Society of Jesus, as we strive to achieve the above concrete objectives, all the members of the entire Sogang community are invited to perform their role sincerely. Everyone, student, faculty, staff, alumni, and the Jesuits, must do everything that lies in their power to achieve harmony and mutual trust, ever renewed intellectually, morally and spiritually.
To maintain a qualitative superiority in learning, faculty and students must cultivate a high academic tradition, ever sincerely seeking after truth. We have inherited and must ever more deeply develop the educational traditions of the Jesuit University, undertaking debate and research earnestly, with open minds. The members of faculty should possess a high intellectual capacity and not only strictly perform their educational duties but also resolutely seek to develop ever better forms of curriculum. They should steadily improve the level of students' studies through an ongoing development of their own teaching methods, advocate the pursuit of academic excellence through attentive and sincere counseling, and develop in their students a truly informed awareness of the value of knowledge and learning.
Sogang University should be an example for others, not only of educational excellence but also of school management, as a university administered in an open and just manner by people devoted to a life of service in the Jesuit Spirit. We must continuously do our best in the new century to accomplish the special vocation, to ever be subject to the Truth, that Sogang had pursued since its establishment. Only so can Sogang truly become a light for the world in this new century.

2. Renewal of contract and promotions Administered by the Office of Academic Administration / 705-8121
1) Regulations governing personnel management All such matters are administered according to the University’s regulations, the Personnel Committee being responsible for all the major procedures and deliberations.
2) Renewal of contract and promotion (1) Since both processes involve passage to a higher status, renewal of contract and promotion are administered together at the same time. (2) Basic requirements a. Years served: In order to qualify for promotion to the title of (a) assistant professor, (b) associate professor, (c) full professor, a candidate must have spent at least (a) 2 years as a full-time lecturer, (b) 4 years as an assistant professor, (c) more than 5 years as an associate professor. While years of previous service in other institutions are taken into account in calculating a person’s total years of teaching, they are excluded from consideration for the first promotion after appointment to Sogang. b. Evaluation of professional activities: Every candidate for renewal of contract or promotion is obliged to have obtained sufficient points for educational achievement and research
33 achievement (including the University’s minimal research achievement requirements) during the preceding years of employment. The evaluation committee of each separate School in the University may decide to apply a higher level of requirements than that established as a minimum by the University. c. Evaluation processes: Promotions and contract renewals are discussed by the Personnel Committee. The Dean of the relevant School or Graduate School submits to the President a written report on the teaching and research achievements of each candidate during the designated period. d. Non-tenure-track positions cannot be considered for promotion. Their contracts may be renewed once, except in the case of non-Koreans, whose contracts may be renewed an unlimited number of times.
3) The calculation of evaluation points
(1) Definitions a. Evaluation of teaching record: scores are given for the number of courses taught during the period. b. Evaluation of research record: scores are given for publications during the period. c. Evaluation of required research record: scores are given for papers published in highly ranked journals (listed in detailed regulations). This serves as a qualitative evaluation of the research record.
(2) The minimum scores required in each category for promotions a. For faculty appointed before March 1, 2004, the publications for research evaluation must be either papers published at least in highly reputed Korean academic journals or scholarly monographs in the major area.

(6) Research funds from outside the University ① Funding paid to the University by government or business agencies to support research. ② In the case of joint research projects, the share of the total sum is calculated as follows. The person in charge of the project: Total × (1 ÷ (n + 1)) × 2. Other participants: Total × (1 ÷ (n + 1)). (n = the total number of participants). ③ Points are awarded for receipt of external funding on the basis of the total paid to the University: for the Humanities and Social Science, 3 million Won = 10 points, and each additional 3 million Won = 5 points. For science and engineering, 5 million Won = 10 points, then each additional 5 million Won = 5 points. The maximum is 50 points. In the case of funding not paid into the University’s account, documents should be provided.
46 Collaboration: where a number of persons (including students) have collaborated in the creating of a paper, book or patent, or in a paper-presentation, the standard points are reduced as follows: 2 persons = 70%, 3 persons = 50%, 4 persons = 30%, 5 or more = 20%. The main author or head of a project receives an additional 10 points. In science and engineering, in the case of multiple ‘corresponding authors’ (= main authors), 2 persons = 80%, 3 = 70%, 4 = 60%, 5 or more = 50%; and in the case where there are other collaborators, this is applied to the previously calculated score (e.g. where 2 persons are cited as corresponding authors in a team of 5, each of the corresponding author receives 35%).
5) Exemptions (1) Faculty absent on sabbatical (study) or unpaid leave for both the first and second semesters of an academic year are exempt from the teaching evaluation but are subject to research evaluation; but if the absence is for only one of 2 semesters in a year, the score for teaching evaluation given for the semester immediately prior to the absence is applied to the semester of leave. (2) A newly appointed professor who has not taught in both semesters of the first year of employment is exempt from evaluation for that year. (3) Professors in administrative positions whose teaching obligation is limited to 3 credit hours per semester (Vice-presidents, Dean of Graduate School, etc) are exempt from research evaluation. (4) Professors less than 3 years from retirement are exempt from evaluation, unless they wish to be included.
6) Evaluation of faculty having tenure (1) Fully tenured professors in Humanities, Business, Economics (and Mathematics) should publish 1 paper every 2 years in an academic journal recognized by or candidate for recognition by the KRF. Fully tenured professors in Science and Engineering should publish every 2 years 1 paper in an academic journal of SCI(E) ranking. Failure to satisfy this requirement entails an obligation to teach 9 credit hours each semester; if additional publications are submitted for a 2-year evaluation, they may be carried forward and counted for the following 2 evaluations (up to 4 years).
7) Additional notes (1) An international patent is recognized by a reputed international academic journal; a Korean patent is recognized by a reputed Korean academic journal.

(3) Not more than 200 points may be earned in any one year for research achievements other than papers, books, and patent. (4) Papers and other types of publication having the identical contents may not be counted twice. (5) In the case of promotions, if a Department / Major has its own criteria for promotion, those must be satisfied, and each Department / Major can apply higher criteria for promotion if they wish. (6) In science and engineering, candidates for promotion to Associate professor must achieve an Impact Factor of 16 or more (only ‘corresponding author’ papers are accepted) while candidates for promotion to Full professor must have an impact Factor of 20 or more (only ‘corresponding author’ papers are accepted). (7) Evaluation of contribution may be reflected by incentives.
8) Uses of evaluation results (1) Promotion, renewal of employment or contract. (2) Selection and rewarding of outstanding faculty - outstanding teaching record : the top 20% in each School - outstanding research record : the top 30% in each School
9) Listing of publications through the University’s online information service

4. Leave of absence Administered by the Office of Academic Administration / 705-8121
Leave of absence may take the form of sabbatical leave or special leave.
48 1) Sabbatical (study) years
(1) Sabbatical (study) years are designed to allow each professor time for academic renewal so that they can make a higher contribution to the University after they return. Professors receive their full monthly salary during a sabbatical year’s leave (i.e. basic salary and bonuses).
(2) Professors wishing to take leave should submit an application countersigned by the Department or Major chair and the School’s Dean before the final date for such applications each semester; applications are examined by the Personnel Committee and the result submitted to the President.
(3) Qualifications and duration A sabbatical year is granted to each professor who has been working without interruption for 6 years, for one year each time. In special circumstances the leave can be taken in two 6-month parts. In this case, after taking the first 6-months, the professor must work for 2 years before taking the second part. This second part may be extended into one full year by the addition of 6 months of unpaid leave. A maximum of 3 sabbatical years is allowed. A professor must work for a full 2 years before retiring, so no sabbatical leave (or unpaid special leave) is allowed in those years.
(4) Restrictions on leave - The total number of professors on sabbatical (study) leave at any one time must not exceed 14% of the total number of professors; the total number of professors on sabbatical and unpaid special leave must be less than 18% of the total of professors. - In each Department (Major) the number of professors on sabbatical at any one time is limited to 1 in departments with 1 - 6 professors, 2 in departments with 7 – 12 , 3 in departments with 13 –18, etc. In the case of Graduate Schools, each graduate school is considered as a single department.

2. Class administration
1) Absence checks Administered by the Office of the Registrar / 705-8124
(1) The FA (Failure because of Absences) system ① FA
Sogang University stresses the importance of regular attendance in classes. In order to ensure this, only a limited number of absences are allowed in any course. Once a student approaches that limit, a first warning, then a second warning is issued. If the student is absent beyond the permitted number of classes, automatically the student receives an FA grade for the course. Such a student is not permitted to continue in the class and the final credit for that course is 0.00. An absence report is prepared at the start of each class, listing the names of students absent. A check is placed beside the names of students who are still absent after 10 minutes, and they are counted absent, even if they later appear. Two late arrivals counts as one absence.
② Permitted absences A student may be absent for a maximum of twice the weekly total of class hours. Graduating students may be absent for twice that number.
③ The FA system in application

④ Permitted absences: In the case of a death in the close family, or an event of equal gravity (3 days). Admission to hospital for more than 3 days and less than 2 weeks, or other forms of treatment preventing class attendance (for the designated period). Physical checkup prior to conscription (for the day indicated on the convocation). Teacher training, a department-organized journey or outside-campus training (for the designated period). A graduation outing (2 days). Any special meeting organized by a government institution(for the designated period). Reserve army training (for the designated period). Such absences do not count toward an FA and are recorded by the various administrative offices. Each professor should include such students’ names in their regular absence reports.
⑤ Designated seats Each student selects a seat at the first class of the semester and is obliged to remain in that place throughout the semester. If a student sits elsewhere without permission and is recorded absent so that an FA grade results, no appeal is possible.
(2) The professor’s role Each professor / lecturer is obliged to check absences at every class, either personally or through a teaching assistant, and notify the students taking the class of the FA warnings or
58 confirmations received from the Registrar’s Office. ① The absence report should be completed at the end of each class and placed in the box near each School Dean’s office, even if there were no late or absent students. ② An absence report is required for every class from start to finish of a semester. ③ Students should be notified of warnings and FA confirmations, and appropriate guidance given. The record of students absent for allowed absences should be checked carefully, this information is available through the SAINT system. ④ Students who receive an FA should be informed that they may no longer attend classes. Even if such a student has finished the course and taken the final exam, the final grade can only be FA. ⑤ Teaching assistants may help a professor by checking absences. This must be done by quietly, consulting the seating chart placed at the back of the class and listing the empty places, not by calling the names of the students.
(3) Warning Care should be taken to administer the system of absence checks accurately and regularly. ① At the start of each semester, a seating chart must be prepared, indicating the name and student number of each student taking the class, and this should be carefully checked once the final class list is available. ② Care should be taken in filling out the absence report, checking that the course number and name are accurately written, and that the names and numbers of absent students are correct. Failure to place a tick against a name will result in that student being counted late, not absent. ③ When making up on another day for a cancelled class, the absence report must indicate the date and time of the cancelled class, otherwise it will not be registered. ④ Absence reports should be placed personally in the box immediately following the end of class, not collected at the department office, to avoid any irregularities. ⑤ Unnecessary disputes can arise if absence reports are filed belatedly; accurate records are essential.

Students not fulfilling these conditions are subject to expulsion. Students under conditional registration must have an interview with their guidance professor after the mid-semester exam in order to review their academic progress prior to the final examination. The guidance professor is obliged to write a considered opinion on both the ‘Formal undertaking upon conditional registration’ and the ‘Thoughts after the special interview with the guidance professor’ forms.
3) The lifelong guidance professor system Administered by each office of the Dean
(1) The fundamental system The ‘lifelong guidance professor system’ is specific to Sogang, providing as it does for the relation between guidance professor and student to go beyond something occasional to cover the whole of a student’s university life. Each student has a ‘lifelong guidance professor’ whose role is not only to give advice when academic problems arise, but to serve as a counselor about every aspect of the student’s life.
(2) Administrative system When a student enters the University at the start of the first year, the Dean of each school
60 allocates a temporary School guidance professor. At the end of the first academic year, when each student has chosen a first Major, the students are assigned a lifelong guidance professor depending on the Major they have chosen. Generally speaking, the system is administered by the Dean’s office of each School, overall responsibility being with the Registrar’s Office team.
4) Scholarships on the guidance professor’s recommendation Administered by the office of financial Aid and student Activities / 705-8128 (1) Description These are awarded to students who, after personal interviews, are deemed to be in particular need of financial assistance.

Candidates should be students expected to have a grade average of 2.5 or more at the end of the semester, and registered for at least 18 credit hours (15 hours for a student in the 8 th semester or faced with a physical challenge.)
The number of students recommended is normally 3 times the number of scholarships available, and the administration then establish an order of priority. This is because a student who is later awarded another kind of scholarship, for excellent grades etc, loses the right to a guidance professor’s recommendation scholarship, and it is not possible to invite further applications once the application period has passed.

2. On using the Sogang corporate credit card 1) The card is used as a credit card in the normal way. It must be used for all purchases connected with research grants, or any university business for which official recognition or repayment is needed. Monthly payments are drawn on the card-holder’s usual bank account. Purchases made with the corporate card do not count as personal expenditure and cannot be reported for tax relief in the December income tax returns. Therefore, private purchases should always be made using another kind of credit card. 2) When expenses for a meal or for the purchase of an item exceed 50,000 Won, applications for repayment must include the receipt from the corporate card. 3) Monthly payments are taken from bank accounts on the 23rd of each month. Normally, monthly expenditure with the corporate card is restricted to 5 million Won within Korea and $500 in overseas purchases. If an individual wishes to raise these limits, application should be made to the Office of Finance. 4) Should a card be lost, the fact should be reported immediately to the bank or to the card company. An application for a new card should then be made to the Office of Finance. 5) It is absolutely forbidden to use the corporate card when making private purchases. 6) The corporate card is a “clean” card and cannot be used in dubious localities, such as casinos, nightclubs, “room salons,” massage parlors etc.
