[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Lee Hyung-kwon] Suncheon National University (President Ko Young-jin) received a comprehensive integrity rating of Grade 2 in this year's national and public university integrity evaluation, ranking first in the Honam and Jeju regions.

Suncheon National University was the only university in the Honam and Jeju areas to achieve a comprehensive integrity rating of Grade 2 in this year's integrity measurement conducted by the Anti-Corruption and Civil Rights Commission targeting 34 national and public universities.

Scores are assigned from Grade 1 to Grade 5.
