With the purpose of recognizing the new importance of FD and SD, this paper identifies and discusses the problems of academic institutions that did not incorporate FD and SD and examines new directions for solutions. In recent years, the importance and roles of FD and SD at institutions of higher learning have been emphasized. FD is essential for quality improvement and course work improvement. SD is expected to improve the managerial capability of college administrators. However, there are still some academic institutions that have not introduced FD and SD; thus, we are concerned about the weakening trend in faculty quality improvement, course work improvement, and strategic management of schools. Since it is highly likely that this trend will cause major problems in the future, it is necessary to explore new directions towards finding solutions.
