Dongguk still uppity little bitch.

The US$50 million lawsuit by Dongguk University against Yale is still on. Dongguk is suing Yale (more here) because the former hired a professor that claimed she graduated from the latter, and the latter mistakenly verified that said professor had indeed received a Ph.D. there. The revelation that Shin Jeong-a was a fraud brought to light tons of other cases of academic dishonesty in 2007, cases found in all aspects of life from the military to the sangha, from actors to bellydancers. Such was the climate that a group of professors selected "Deception" as the word of the year.
