 |
|
While eating dinner at a restaurant, I noticed the latest show on TV. It was a reality show starring Suh In-young. Apparently, she has somehow been accepted as a student at KAIST. KAIST is not a diploma mill*, but a university known for science, engineering, and research. How did she get accepted there? Did they recently open a Department of Weaving Fashionable Baskets?

The University has for many decades, recruited faculty from overseas. The current KAIST President Nam Pyo Suh, an authority in axiomatic design technology, comes from MIT. His predecessor, Robert Laughlin, a Nobel Prize laureate and a physics professor from Stanford University, was the first foreigner to head a Korean university. Professor Emeritus Cho Jang Hee, was a dual professor at both Columbia, New York, and KAIS, and played major role in the development of the PET scanning technology.
The vast majority of professors come from US higher education institutions. |

Not a diploma mill, but all unis in Korea can be dazzled by monetary donations and the publicity associated with having a celebrity attend their school.
Didn't Eugene (from SES) skip to the head of the line for her uni admission as well, without even writing the admissions exam. They took her based on her celebrity and the number of students she could lure to the school. |

This show.
Obviously, she's not a real student there. |

Oh ... my God ... You have *got* to tell me more about this show. A giant quill ... a dancing robot ... a beaker full of bubbling pink liquid ... and did I read that right, "UniverSexy"? Don't leave me in suspense. |

I had to laugh when I saw her in an English conversation class. She couldn't even answer the most basic questions from the teacher, but when she sings, her English is native speaker like.  |

Yeah, not a ringing endorsement from university English teaching. Poor Professor Gordon. I don't tolerate that kind of attitude from my 13-year-olds, let alone a 24-year-old.
And damn, that is one ugly nose. She used to be cute before she got adjummad up. |

Define 'many' please. A few dozen on each of the sports teams out of 20,000 or 30,000 students isn't many when you consider the millions of bucks they bring in to the sports programs. |

 She's just temporarily allowed to study (or just spend time doing univ stuff) with KAIST students and that is being filmed in the format of a "reality show". She's apparently not an official legit student. You can imagine the rest. |

I think he was being sarcastic, besides Nebraska-Lincoln is not exactly Harvard (where Natalie Portman went btw). |
