2) The term ,,college" is used in this paper for a branch of a university (sometimes called ,,faculty" or ..school"), or an institution of higher learning with university level, specialized on agriculture.

3) Special problems arise, when a considerable part of the staff consists of expatriate professors, as for instance in many African universities. As this is not the case in Korea, these problems are not dealt with here.
