This study examines the establishment and operation of record centers higher education institutions, focusing on private universities, and propose improvement measures. Using data from the National Archives’s Major Statistical Yearbook and relevant legislation - including the Higher Education Act, the Private School Act, and the newly enacted Act on Support for the Structural Improvement of Private Universities - the study analyzes institution characterizes, records center statue, and the placement of records managers. The findings show that private universities, though larger in number, have very low installation and staffing rates for records centers, with little progress since the revision of the Public Records Management Act. To address these issues, the study suggests refining establishment criteria, strengthening staffing in private universities, and creating a dedicated archival institution to oversee records management in higher education.
