[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kang Woo-kwon] The National Gyeongsang University announced on the 5th that it held a meeting with representatives of student central autonomous organizations, including the student council, in the medium conference room on the 5th floor of the university headquarters regarding the integration with Gyeongnam National University of Science and Technology.

As the integration of the two universities is becoming more tangible, Gyeongsang University has been experiencing difficulties, including the student council president issuing a statement, citing that students' opinions were not reflected. The student council presented five demands related to the integration of National Gyeongsang University and Gyeongnam National University of Science and Technology and requested a meeting with the president.

About 20 people, including the president, vice president for academic affairs, director of planning, planning team leader, student central autonomous organizations, college student council presidents, and general students, attended the meeting and discussed specific integration plans for one hour. The meeting was broadcast live on the student council's YouTube channel and through the GNU video broadcasting system operated by the Gyeongsang University newspaper and broadcasting station.

Meanwhile, the Gyeongsang University student council is demanding ▲ full disclosure of the progress and information related to the university integration without omission ▲ retention of the university name at graduation for current students of both universities before integration ▲ opposition to relocating the university headquarters to the Chilam campus ▲ resolution of issues related to similar and overlapping departments.
