Abstract
This chapter discusses the changes that the incorporation of a national university brings by examining the changes at Seoul National University, the leading research university in Korea. The legal status of the university was changed from a regular national university to a incorporated university in 2012. Regular national universities are considered a government organization, and their personnel, finance, and organizational structure are tightly controlled by central government. But the incorporated national universities have a relatively flexible management free from tight government control. This chapter focuses on how the formal structural change was institutionalized at Seoul National University and the effect of the legal status change on the university since 2012.
