THREE MONTHS have passed since the start of the new semester. At this point, nothing is really new. The same, monotonous routine repeats everyday: take class, kill spare time, eat lunch, take class again and either settle down in the library or go out to Sinchon. But don’t assume all campus life to be exactly the same. Here’s what a day at the Yonsei International Campus at Songdo might look like.

YONSEI UNIVERSITY’s board of directors announced on May 6 that it finalized the new presidential election system. Under the new system, the Presidential Search Advisory Committee (PSAC) recommends candidates to the Presidential Candidate Qualifications Committee (PCQC). Among the recommended candidates and the candidates who volunteered on their own, three to five candidates are selected by the PCQC. Then, the board of directors selects the final candidate, and the committee of professors goes through a vote to confirm whether the chosen-candidate is capable as the president. The former system, direct election, was adopted by Yonsei University under the nationwide democratization of educational institutions in 1988. But it was blamed for causing many problems such as overheated campaigns and designation of officers in gratitude after the adoption.

“EXTREME FEMINISM, undemocratic structure, and lack of interaction with the female students.” In 2007, the Student Association (SA) President Choi Jong-woo cited these reasons as he announced that they would hold a vote whether to close down the Women Student Association (WSA) and replace it with an institution subordinated to SA. The plan was rejected in the end; this, however, reflects what WSAs in Korea universities are going through. Many criticize the WSA, question its identity, and ask what good it does for the school. But do they really know what the WSA does and aims to do is? What the WSA needs now is grounded, constructive criticism.
