Dongguk, the country�s largest Buddhist school, hailed the decision, saying it has sufficient evidence proving Yale�s negligence and is confident of winning the legal battle.
The school hired Shin Jeong-ah as an art professor after Yale wrongly confirmed that she had earned a doctorate there. Shin, however, was found to have presented fake credentials to Dongguk to get the professor�s job.
Yale later admitted that it misinformed Dongguk about Shin�s diploma due to an administrative error, but Dongguk filed a $50 million compensation suit in 2008, claiming that it suffered huge financial losses due to Yale�s negligence.
Shin had had an affair with Byeon Yang-kyoon, an aide to the late former President Roh Moo-hyun. |
