On the 24th, the Seoul Women's University Faculty Council held a rally in front of the International Conference Room of the 50th Anniversary Memorial Hall, demanding the resignation of newly appointed President Seung Hyun-woo and condemning the board of directors.
Candidate Seung Hyun-woo, who ran in the 9th presidential election, failed to pass the second faculty vote and did not advance to the final runoff, yet the Jeongui Foundation board appointed him as president.
According to the Faculty Council, in the first faculty vote held on November 17 last year, candidate Seung Hyun-woo received 33 votes (16.1%), ranking third. According to the rule that only the first-place candidate Kim Myung-joo (88 votes, 42.9%) and second-place candidate Kim Ki-sook (49 votes, 23.9%) advance to the runoff, candidate Seung was eliminated.
The Faculty Council opposed the board's decision to appoint a candidate who did not gain support from the university community as president and resolved to no-confidence President Seung on the 20th of last month.
