Korea University announced that it will deduct up to 20 points from applicants with a history of school violence discipline in next year's college admissions.
Kim Dongwon, the president of Korea University, stated in a press conference held today (21st), "We will clearly penalize because the ideal qualities of empathy, leadership, and community consciousness are different," revealing this policy.
President Kim said, "Currently, even a 0.1 point difference could determine acceptance or rejection, so deducting 20 points would practically make admission impossible."
Yesterday (20th), Korea University held a faculty meeting and passed a resolution to deduct 20 points out of 1,010 points for regular admission applicants who received disciplinary actions of forced transfer (8th) or expulsion (9th) due to school violence in the 2025 admissions.
For the same issue, it is planned to qualitatively reflect on the applicants in the community competency area for rolling admissions.
Korea University plans to apply a deduction of 20 points for 8th (forced transfer) and 9th (expulsion). Following this, disciplinary actions corresponding to 6th (suspension) and 7th (class change) also entail significant deductions, making it difficult for acceptance.
-That's good. School bullies deserve worse than that.
-I'm wishing misfortune upon the lives of school bullies.
-Students who are forced to transfer or get expelled are seriously messed up. It would be even better if they are not allowed to apply to any university nationwideㅎ
-This is right.
-I think every school should be like this. If you're not human, what's the point of going to college?
-It's good, but... Parents will probably sue teachers like crazy to avoid their kids being labeled as school bullies.
-Oh... There's a kid from a juvenile detention center in my school. He probably won't make it throughㅋㅋㅋㅋ
-Parents will probably sue teachers even more aggressively.
-The workload for teachers will probably increase... It's obvious they'll start nitpicking on students they don't like and report them for school violence.
-There was an incident where the perpetrator was rich and the victim was poor, and they tried to disguise the victim as the perpetrator. Now they're probably going to go even further to screw their future.
