전주대 비대위원장 단식 투쟁…“이사장 비리 의혹, 경찰 조속 수사를”

The president of Chungju University, caught in a web of suspicion and conflict within the institution, has embarked on a prolonged hunger strike to demand university normalization. The emergency board of directors, in a press conference on the 31st, announced their demand for the president's removal, the resignation of the chief and other influential figures, and an end to the university's state of chaos.

The president, Mr. Ho Jun, stated, "I can no longer bear to watch the school's further decline. It is a desperate situation that I must enter the hunger strike." Since its formation last September, the emergency board has been raising concerns about the president's alleged nepotism and influence among his cronies, calling for university normalization.

The president claimed that despite their efforts, including dialogue with the chief, they have only faced complete disregard and pressure. Recently, the president criticized the installation of a chief-level auditor and the amendment of regulations concerning temporary shelters, accusing the administration of stifling legitimate voices within the institution.

The president urged for the president's accountability, stating, "The chief's most important job is to mediate diverse demands and resolve conflicts. If the chief only plays the role of a school director, leaving the school at this moment would be the right path for the school." Regarding the president's alleged wrongdoing, the emergency board called for a swift police investigation.

They reported to the police in February about suspicions surrounding the president's golf outings, illicit financial dealings, and interference in personnel decisions, but six months have passed without significant progress in the investigation. The president warned that delayed justice is no justice. The emergency board will hold a vote from September 2nd to 2nd, determining whether to appoint the president and appoint a new chief.

The results will be announced at a special university assembly on September 2nd at 5 pm. The president appealed to the university's members, saying, "This is the last lifeline for Chungju University. It's not about personal resentment, but a collective outrage that must be acted upon."
