University "clears First Lady"*

Corruption of South Korean educational institutions reached new levels as Kookmin University declared plagiarism in Kim Gon-hee's academic theses unproven. The "revenge politics" of Yoon Seok-yeol and his wife, have officials private and public fearful of prosecution against themselves or their family members should they paint any of the first family's questionable past in a poor light. The University declined to reveal the record of its review proceedings to any media or critics of its findings. Alumnae from Kookmin University and Sukmyung Women's University where Kim did her masters thesis, demonstrated against the Kookmin decision. They demanded a review by Sookmeong University of her masters thesis which also appears to be largely plagiarized from a translation of a book about the artist Paul Klee. Passages from the two theses are compared to the works from which plagiarized paragraphs and sentences were taken without quotations, footnotes or other attribution, have been broadcast on opposition news programs on the internet. One professor declared that it was "100 pecent certain that Kim's work was plagiarized. " Consequently, the credibility and approval of the Yoon administration reaches new lows in the most recent polls as he returns from his vacation.
