Prosecutors in Suwon are investigating an alleged fake-degree scandal involving leading sports figures and professors....
About 20 people were named, including nine professors, a former national table tennis coach, a former pro-baseball team coach, the chief of a sports association, and an executive with the provincial sports association. Also implicated are a pro-baseball player and four students and graduates.
A researcher in a doctoral program told The Korea Herald that bribery involving professors and students is no surprise to him.... "Those who seek degrees just for the sake of climbing the ladder, not so as to delve deeply into a field of studies, tend to rely on such illicit means. I have witnessed such bribery cases many times," he added, on condition of anonymity. |
