That is, through the process of building consensus and cooperation between universities, the KCUE helps Korean universities make progress in their pursuit of achieving greater autonomy and fulfilling their responsibilities in response to the expectations from the government and the public. ■ The KCUE serves as a buffer between universities and the government by faithfully representing the universities’ needs and guiding the right direction for future policy development. In addition, the KCUE conducts projects commissioned by the government and supports universities. Furthermore, the KCUE submits opinions to the National Assembly in regard to enactment and amendment of laws related to university education. The KCUE periodically receives parliamentary audits of overall projects and its implementation to ensure its role as a public institution. The KCUE provides transparent information to raise public trust in universities and higher education. ■ The KCUE has four-year universities as members, and its membership stands at 204 universities as of 2015. The KCUE has a total budget of KRW140 billion in 2015, which is financed by membership fee from member universities and government fund for the KCUE’s services such as college entrance administration, university evaluation and public disclosure services. 4 Korean Council for University Education Key projects ■ The KCUE’s key projects include student selection for university admission, accreditation of universities, development of the information disclosure system, and policy consultation and proposal for the government. 1) College Admission system ■ The KCUE is commissioned by the Ministry of Education to administer the univesity admission in accordance with the Higher Education Act and the enforcement decree of the said Act, while the Ministry of Education manages and oversees the establishment of college admission policies and their implementations. The KCUE establishes the College Admission Committee and mediates opinions of various stakeholders such as the government, universities, high schools, college admission consultants, parents organizations and related authorities in order to finalize the framework of the college admission. Individual universities submit admission plans (e.g. rolling and regular admission requirements) to the KCUE. The KCUE checks the admission plans to confirm that they are in compliance with the basic framework and announces these admission plans. Universities admit students on a rolling and regular basis, and the KCUE collects and publishes student selection results. for University Education (KCUE) 2) University Information Disclosure Service ■ The KCUE undertakes the university information disclosure project commissioned Part I. Introduction to the Korean Council and overseen by the government in accordance with Act on Special Cases Concerning the Disclosure of Information by Education-related Institutions and the Enforcement Decree of the said Act. The university information disclosure project defines the scope (subjects) of information research and research guidelines; conducts research into information disclosed by universities, specialization of universities, departments and majors; verifies collected data and discloses it on a regular (April, June, September and October) and ad-hoc basis to satisfy the public’s right to know. 5 3) University Evaluation and Accreditation ■ The KCUE is designated as an accreditation agency by the Ministry of Education and conducts the university accreditation project to evaluate and accredit universities in accordance with regulations related to higher education and the accreditation of higher education institutions. Under the university accreditation project, individual universities conduct their own evaluations and the KCUE’s evaluation commission verifies their evaluations by conducting a paper-based and on-site review. At last, the university evaluation accreditation committee conducts a final review and notifies universities on whether they are accredited or not. 4) Policy proposals and globalization on Higher Education ■ Meanwhile, the KCUE, as a consultation body for four-year universities, collects and represents opinions of member universities about current issues and policies, searches for ways to address issues facing the universities and makes policy proposals and suggestions to the National Assembly and the government. In addition, the KCUE shares information and cooperates with university consultative bodies around the world to promote the globalization of higher education in Korea and offers training programs for university faculties and employees to enhance their professional competencies. ■ In summary, the KCUE is the only consultative body established voluntarily by four-year universities in Korea, and its key responsibilities include policy development and support by collecting universities’ opinions, performing government-commissioned projects, and promoting cooperation among universities. In addition, the KCUE plays a key role as a partner in the global university community to lay foundation for the development of the higher education and make a timely response to fast-changing issues in higher education. 6 Korean Council for University Education KCUE’s key projects 1.

ABSTRACT THE DEVELOPMENT OF LEADERSHIP COMPETENCIES FOR CHILDREN AND YOUTH FOR IMPLEMENTATION IN PATHFINDER CLUB by Hyungsik Ju Adviser: Baraka Muganda ABSTRACT OF GRADUATE STUDENT RESEARCH Dissertation Andrews University Seventh-day Adventist Theological Seminary Title: THE DEVELOPMENT OF LEADERSHIP COMPETENCIES FOR CHILDREN AND YOUTH FOR IMPLEMENTATION IN PATHFINDER CLUB Name of researcher: Hyungsik Ju Name and degree of faculty adviser: Baraka Muganda, Ph.D. Date of completed: January 2010 Problem Children and youth members in the Korean Adventist church have been steadily decreasing in numbers. Although there are many causes, the most serious problem is a lack of leadership development training for children and youth. And then, the lack of a leadership program for young people not only fails to promote an evangelistic passion, but also causes a deficit of training for future church leaders. In this sense, various leadership competencies should be applied and developed in order to nurture young people spiritually.

This anti-LGBT mobilization has been attributed to the need to create an “external enemy” as a means for covering up internal scandals. This study examines how the Protestant anti-LGBT movement creates an “internal enemy”, too, by fighting against pro-LGBT activism and attitudes within its faith. Applying the contentious politics and movement- countermovement frameworks to the study of religious conflict, the article uncovers the mechanisms at work in the complex interactions among anti-LGBT, moderate, and LGBT-affirmative actors. The analysis of five cases – heresy trials against a pro- LGBT pastor, conflicts at Christian universities, vilifications of a progressive Christian online newspaper and a church association, and the controversy around a moderate junior pastor – shows that perceived and deliberately created threats play a productive, opportunity-like role in religious contention over LGBT issues. Longstanding religiopolitical cleavages come to the fore, too, involving conflictual relations with state actors external to Korean Protestantism. Keywords: pro and anti-LGBT activism; South Korean Protestantism; opportunities and threats; contentious politics; movement-countermovement dynamics Introduction: Contention over LGBT issues in Korean Protestantism and beyond In South Korea (henceforth: Korea), conservative Protestant groups have been fighting against various political initiatives in favor of lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) rights since the early 2000s.
