Koreans are on the verge of ruinous polarization in higher education as well as income, industry, culture, art, religion, political power, and ideology. Polarization is highly related with the emergence of a pariah capitalist regime in Korea. Under the regime the vested interest tries to intensify their monopoly power on social resources. Concentration of higher education on capital area results in ruinous effects on local universities such as lack of new students, increasing transfer of current students, hemorrhage of talented persons, regional discrimination of employment, unfair academic environment and despair of local academic community. This paper argues that national development will be in danger without balanced development and equal opportunity over regional areas. Plan of national university specification is recommended as a remedy of educational polarization.
