This just doesn't look good any way you slice it.

Sookmyung Women's University blacklisted students who participated in anti-government protests or posted comments criticizing the government or the school in its online community.
According to staff members and students of the school in Seoul, Tuesday, a student of the university found documents containing the personal information of students last November. The student handed the documents over to the student council.
The council said the school authorities filed the information and academic records of the students who had been critical of the government or the school separately from those of other students.
The list was filed by the school's student culture and welfare team, and contained the information of students who participated in the rallies against the U.S. beef import deal two years ago, and criticized the university in protests. It has also collected postings on the school's Website that are critical of the university.
In addition, the list contained students' registration numbers and information regarding their parents.
"The students' right to express their opinions has been infringed upon and personal information of the students has not been properly handled. We are demanding that the school authorities thoroughly look into the case and issue an explanation," the council said.(Edit: More to story) |

I never had much respect for "women's universities."
How can a real university exclude half the people on the planet? Diversity brings creativity and innovation. |

Hmm, could it be that universities didn't accept women at the time they were founded?
You'll then ask why they still hang on:
Tradition. Many universities like to hold on to the traditions from their founding. |

| Tradition is garbage.....it is a relic of pre-millennial thinking. Keep up with the changing times and become more globalized. |

Maybe you should take your own advice. |
