There is a controversy that the Pusan ​​National University School of Medicine changed the rules and gave scholarships to scholarships rather than school recommendation to daughters of the Minister of Justice who are not eligible to receive scholarships.

According to Busan University on August 23, Uiwon held a meeting in July 2015 to change the guidelines for selecting Uiwon scholars.

Scholarship applicants were required to have an average grade point average of 2.5 out of 4.5 in the previous semester, but the exception is that they can exempt external scholarships.

As a result, Cho's daughter, who had been suspended for the first semester of admission in 2015, was not eligible for scholarship under the existing scholarship selection guidelines, but was able to receive an external scholarship in 2016 the following year due to the new exception.

Since then, Cho's daughter has been awarded 6 small scholarship scholarships worth 2 million won a semester for three years.

It is not yet known who led the revision of the Guidelines in 2015.

At the time, the head of Yangsan Pusan ​​National University Hospital was the head of Busan Medical Center.

On the 22nd, President Roh Hwan-jung said, "I would give a scholarship if I was promoted every semester after returning to the Cho candidate daughter, who was paid in the first semester, and kept it." I listen. "
Scholarships are also controversial.

The Pusan ​​National University Student Association argued that "the daughter of the Minister of Justice of the Fatherland was selected as the only scholarship, not a school recommendation, among the recipients of the external scholarships made by Yangsan Pusan ​​National University Hospital."

"The external scholarship payment method is divided into recommendation or designation method," he said. "Recommendation method is recommended by the administration office of medical school according to the criteria set by the scholarship foundation and approved by the foundation. It's a way to specify and pay. "

"In 2014, 2015, and 2019, students were awarded a scholarship by recommending students who met the criteria of the Scholarship Foundation. However, the first year of school year, 2018, when the student (Cho candidate daughter) received the scholarship. He was the only designated scholarship scholar for six semesters until the second semester. "

The Student Council is "a matter of great national interest and a great deprivation of the students," and urged "university headquarters and medical graduate schools to investigate thoroughly to reveal the correct truth." I promise to my classmates to respond. "

As suspicions continue during the scholarship and admission process, students at Pusan ​​National University will sign a solidarity and post a letter on the afternoon of Pusan ​​National University Campus and Yangsan Pusan ​​National University Hospital.
