AB - This study analyzes the actual institutionalization of human rights issue in Korean universities, focusing on the issue of sexual harassment and human rights violations in universities that became public in the 2010s. To do so, this study combines literature review and in-depth interview data to explain the process of agendizing and institutionalizing human rights violations in universities. Human rights violations in universities have been agendized in the direction of addressing gender inequality and status discrimination on campus, focusing on sexual harassment and academic harassment. With the establishment of a ‘counseling center’ and a ‘human rights center’ and related procedures, the issue of sexual harassment and gender discrimination has been integrated with other human rights issues. However, the on-campus system operated as a small sub-organization of the university, with structural weaknesses and practitioners facing work overload and role conflicts. The practical burden of counseling and researching while satisfying the needs of members falls primarily on women and their work. In addition, the organization tends to exist in an isolated manner on campus, closing off a space for sharing problem-solving know-how. Then, the ethical resolution of issues in a community has become less and less meaningful, as judicial procedures are borrowed to prepare for complaints and lawsuits. Finally, we saw an increasing procedural closure, with professors and lawyers making the final decisions, creating a structure that was not conducive to institutional trust and democracy. In conclusion, I argue that the actualization of institutions is tied to how to change the gendered and asymmetrical arrangement of institutional operations, raising the need for democratic governance.
