More observations on the higher education system here

In the last few months there's been a big scandal about a woman who was involved with a high official in the federal government (a married man). Apparently, they embezzled government funds. She's from some prominent family, so this brought shame on them.

But it turns out she also lied about having graduated fom Yale and so got a professorial job at a prestigious university. I get the sense Korean people are at least as outraged about someone having faked a Yale degree as about the embezzement. Maybe even more so.

Maybe if we could suggest that George W. faked his own Yale degree we could get rid of him sooner than a year from now?
