Reasons for Proposal
Under the current Act, measures such as suspending recruitment of students may be taken in cases where the head of a university did not conduct the admissions process in an open manner through fair competition, but there are now clear provisions against cases where the student or the teachers/staff, etc., have committed improper/corrupt conduct in regards to school admissions.
Considering the importance of fairness in the university admission process, there is a need for improving such fairness and preventing improper conduct by establishing specific provisions for the basis of measures such as cancellation of admission where a student was admitted through improper means.
Therefore, the proposal seeks to provide a basis upon which the head of a university shall cancel the admission of an applicant where a improper conduct such as false documents was found during the admissions process. (newly insert Article 34-6)
Major Provisions
Article 34-6 (Cancellation of Admission) In selecting the students to be admitted to the school, the head of a university (including industrial colleges, teachers' colleges, junior colleges, and cyber colleges, but excluding graduate school universities or colleges) shall cancel the admission of an applicant if improper conduct as specified by Presidential Decree, such as false documentation during the admissions process, is found.
