Abstract

The purpose of this study was to explore and find out strategies for the elective athletic program in college in order not to be cut down its number and diversity of it. The college elective athletic program has been considered one of the major fields to achieve the holistic education philosophy for a long time. However, it began to be regarded as a nuisance since college tuition has been under governmental control for six years not be increased and college has had difficulties in financial management. Most colleges in Korea, except a few of them supported by financially sound foundation, depend their financial sources on students' tuition. College is not able to manage educational and administrative costs if the rate of the price rise is not included in tuition raise every year, but college tuition has been frozen for a number of years and most colleges have attempted to apply for governmental projects that come with huge financial support. The reason that college elective athletic program is considered a nuisance is that one of the shared evaluation index to determine project-receiver is "how many classes are taught by tenure-track professors in the college" and most college elective athletic programs are taught by non-tenured instructors. That is, college elective athletic programs became considered an obstacle to receive projects from the government. So did most art-related department. Therefore, this study suggests that the related in the elective athletic program as well as the art-based department need to go into action together to exclude the index of "how many classes are taught by tenure-track professors in the college" for the college elective athletic program and the art-related department when the government evaluates colleges and determine the project-receiver.
