Professor at Chosun University Accused of 'Admission Fraud' at Another School

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Park Jin-hyung] A professor at Chosun University has been booked for accepting money and valuables under the pretext of helping entrance exam students with their college admissions while working at another school.

The Anti-Corruption Economic Crime Investigation Unit of the Gwangju Police Agency announced on the 20th that Professor A was booked on charges including breach of trust, obstruction of business, and violation of the Act on the Prohibition of Improper Solicitation and Graft.

Before working at Chosun University, Mr. A is suspected of forcing lessons or receiving money and valuables from his students under the pretext of helping them enter college while working at other universities and entrance exam academies.

The police uncovered these charges during an investigation into allegations that Professor B demanded development funds from applicants during the selection process for full-time lecturers at Chosun University.

The applicant who was asked to provide development funds was ultimately rejected, and Mr. A was accepted and later appointed as a professor.

The police have investigated Professor A’s bank account details and are continuing their investigation into Professor B.

The rejected applicant filed a provisional injunction with the court to suspend the effect of the faculty appointment, arguing that the second stage of the recruitment test?which consisted of the first document screening, the second open lecture, and the third interview?was flawed because only a practical lecture was conducted without a Q&A session as announced. However, the injunction was dismissed.
