지난 2월 27일, 헌법재판소는 교수기간임용제를 규정한 구 사립학교법 제53조의 2 제3항에 대하여 이는 헌법 제31조 제6항이 규정하고 있는 교원지위법정주의에 위반된다는 이유로 헌법불합치 결정을 내렸다. 이에 따라 오는 9월 정기국회통과를 목표로 교육인적자원부가 전문가들의 자문을 받아 개정입법을 추진중인데 과거 교수기간임용제에 대한 위헌요소를 제거하고 교원지위법정주의에 부합하는 개정입법을 위하여 금번 구 사립학교법 제53조의 2 제3항에 대한 헌법불합치 결정의 법률적 의미를 명확히 규명하고 그 동안의 피해교수 구제를 위한 정책대안이 분명히 제시될 필요가 있다. 이에 따라 본 연구는 먼저 헌법재판소의 구 사립학교법 제53조의 2 제3항에 대한 헌법불합치 결정의 내용을 결정문을 중심으로 검토하고, 이에 근거한 헌법불합치 결정의 의미와 그 효력을 고찰하며, 다음으로 이러한 법률적 토대에 따라 교수기간임용제 피해교수 구제대상과 방법을 규정한다. 마지막으로 이상을 종합하여 교수기간임용제 피해교수 구제를 위한 정책대안을 제시하였다.
