Previously in 2017, Professor A of the Department of Food Bioscience and Technology was dismissed due to criminal charges, yet the professor has recently returned to his position following the university’s decision. Students from the Department of Food Bioscience and Technology have protested against the news of Professor A's reinstatement, making the Korea University (KU) Student Council of the Department of Food Bioscience and Technology upload a campus poster about this issue on November 18.

On the campus poster titled “The sudden decision for the reinstatement of Professor A — who was dismissed for criminal charges by the school in 2017 — was made by whom and for whom?” the student council mentioned they did not know about this matter and believe it is the school’s duty to protect the students’ rights to education and guarantee their right to know. Therefore, they have asked the school to inform current school members about the reason for Professor A’s dismissal in 2017 and the reinstatement.

The Department of Food Bioscience and Technology displayed disappointment in the higher decision and announced that it would endeavor to recover from the events that happened back in 2017.
