Pusan National University initiated its own investigation into the alleged fraudulent admission to the medical school (all medical doctors) of Cho Min, daughter of former Justice Minister Cho Kook(Reported on page 1 of March 25, Busan Ilbo)Then, according to the results of the survey, the university policy was decided.
On the afternoon of the 25th, Pusan National University released a press release on the’Convening of the Busan National University Admissions Process Management Committee’. The Admissions Process Management Committee (hereinafter referred to as the Fair Management Committee), which investigates this issue, is a permanent organization related to entrance examinations within the university, and is made up of 25 members including the chairman, vice chairman, and external members. The Process Management Committee can also form and operate a separate team dedicated to special issues.
The Process Management Committee plans to soon decide on detailed plans for future activities such as investigation methods and investigation targets. The Fair Management Committee decided to review and discuss the actions that the university should take after the investigation and report the results to the university headquarters. Pusan National University decides the university’s policy through legal review when the results of the discussion of the Fair Management Committee come out.
Earlier, on the 8th, Pusan National University reviewed whether to proceed with its own investigation as the Ministry of Education asked for a review and establishment of an action plan in relation to Mr. Cho’s suspicion of admission for medical personnel. Since 2019, allegations of illegal admission have been raised against Mr. Cho, and all-round seizure and search and investigation by investigative agencies have been conducted, but Busan National University explained that there was no unfair behavior or misconduct by the faculty and staff. Pusan National University also said that it was difficult to find out the authenticity through school investigations alone, so it maintained its position to deal with the case as soon as the court’s final ruling by Cho’s wife, Professor Jeong Gyeong-sim, comes out.
