▶The proceedings of the Council Meeting had posted on Dankookie and DKU homepage.

Lack of student concern also showed in ‘Vision 2017.’ Vision 2017 is a university plan that includes raising scholarships for tuition to 11 percent and constructing dormitories to accommodate all freshman. In other words, this plan has a much stronger direct relation to students's school life. Moreover, this plan can be accessed easily from the school homepage in just one click. However, students are generally not interested in school plans. For example, one professor in the College of Economics and Commerce at Cheonan Campus said, "raise your hands if you know Vision 2017." Only two of 60 students raised their hands, and those two students said, "I just saw the plan on the homepage, but I did not read it in detail." Professor Park pointed out the lack of student concern, saying, "it is a very serious problem that students do not know the vision of our school. This problem stems not only from the communication system, but also from the lack of students' interest in internal information of the school. If this situation continues, this organization will not be able to operate well."
So, let's consider the first question. Is it true that Dankookian's accessibility of school information is too limited? The answer is 'No.' It is not the lack of accessibility of information but lack of student concern. It is not totally true that information posted on Dankookie is faster than the school homepage. At the same time, many cases existed in which the school did not release information to students even though students requested it. On the other hand, most of the school's plans are open to students. There are a number of means by which students can access the information. For example, students can find information on board meetings on the DKU homepage or ask school administrators directly. We should try to get information about our school actively. If not, we may become an uninformed crowd when we decide on something. In the poem "Flower" by Chun-Su Kim, the following phrase is written: 'When I called his name, he came to me and he became a flower.' This shows us that no matter how good a school plan is, it is nothing if students are not interested in it. There is a well known proverb, 'the most fearful thing is indifference.' Like this, students should show concern about the current situation at school and be proactive about participating in school decisions. We should think, 'how do we want to know our school,' not 'how much can we know about our school?'.
