「부정청탁 및 금품등 수수의 금지에 관한 법률」상 외부강의등

By revising the Presidential Decree of Improper Solicitation and Anti Graft Act, 17 January 2018, the upper limit classification for each position of outside lectures, was abolished, the report was simplified, and the duration of the supplementary report was extended. As a result, it became possible to operate the law considering the characteristics of the private sector with a focus on academic and research activities. Other equity violations have been resolved by national and private school professors, including those subject to the same limits on the amount of honoraria and not subject to the maximum regulation. The mandatory performance of the report to the head of the concerned agency was improved, and the origin of the report period and its duration were also extended. Minimum rules for the external activities of government employees are needed in the course of performing public duties, to ensure that a senior civil servant cannot receive bribes in the name of an external honorarium, so that public fairness is not compromised, and to ensure that excessive external lecture performance does not interfere with public service. Therefore, government employees’ outside lectures should be managed by their organizations, and the costs for external activities should not exceed reasonable limits. However, the extension of these regulations to the private sector would result in the restriction of academic freedom and equal rights. It must be clear as a pre-reporter, that the application should be limited in the form that “a lecture, presentation, or contribution related to public officials’ duties or requested based on de facto influence arising from his/her position or responsibilities at a training course, promotional event, forum, seminar, public hearing, or any other meeting” as The Improper Solicitation and Graft Act Articles 11, Clause 1 describes.
