Have you been following this drama?

They put a traditional thinking president into a modern westernized institute. The changes made may or may have not contributed to the suicides... that's not really the issue as there are always suicides at top universities.

The real issue is if this guy is turning back a progressive educational movement in Korea's top technology university.

....

In Suh�s aggressive actions, observers see signs of a �competition-centered thinking system� picked up in the United States. Suh lived in the country for 51 years after emigrating there during his second year of high school in 1954, and analysts say he adopted as his conviction the American style of individualism and the efficiency of competitive systems.


This post is totally incoherent, is it just a bunch of different articles and viewpoints mashed together? I quit reading at the part I quoted.
