Yonsei University's 'Leaks of Arguments' Examinee Prepares for Class Action

[Anchor]
Controversy continues that the test questions were leaked in advance at Yonsei University's essay test site.

While Yonsei University has asked the police to investigate the examinees who released the photos of the questionnaire, it has been confirmed that the examinees and parents are preparing a class action against the school.

I'll connect you to a reporter.

Reporter Yoon Tae-in, some test takers and parents are preparing a lawsuit?

Yes, on the online community where the test takers gathered, a message was posted about the leak of the problem, saying, "We are planning to file a lawsuit on October 21 and an injunction for suspension of effect on October 28."

In fact, it has been found that some natural candidates and about 50 parents are preparing a lawsuit.

They are filing a lawsuit to invalidate the test as they are suspected of cheating, and at the same time, they are trying to stop the entrance examination process by receiving a provisional citation before announcing the successful candidates for essay writing.

Yonsei University maintains that there is no problem with the fairness of the entrance exam, but the examinees argue that fairness has been violated.

He says he decided to proceed with the lawsuit because he believes that the only way to restore the damaged fairness is to retake it in the current situation.

Let's hear from the candidates.

[Yeonse University essay test applicant: I don't think it's this right now, but if I leave it alone, the school will be in a period of time and the successful candidate will be announced, and there will be no turning back after that, so I'll proceed with the lawsuit like this.]

The schedule has not been set as shown in the online post, but as soon as the legal review is completed, the plan is to apply for an injunction to suspend the validity of the essay test to the court as early as this week and file a lawsuit to confirm the invalidity of the test.

How do you feel about Yonsei University?

First of all, Yonsei University filed a complaint with the Seodaemun Police Station yesterday against the examinees who took pictures of questionnaires and posted them online.It is known that a total of six people were accused of

, including two identified candidates from the humanities and natural sciences, and four unidentified candidates.

It is reported that the two candidates were identified based on the questionnaire and notes in the leaked photo.The police, who received the

complaint, will soon launch a full-fledged investigation by allocating the case after examining the relevant data.

Separately, Yonsei University plans to receive an investigation request to the police with the aim of clarifying whether there is any circumstance in which fairness has been undermined in the essay exam.

Yonsei University also made an official apology to test takers and parents through the admissions office's website last night.

It is difficult to say that the leak of the questionnaire violated the fairness of the entrance examination, but he explained that he asked the law enforcement authorities to investigate and investigate without any suspicion because he thought it was the university's duty to resolve all suspicious situations.

At the same time, the test management system was thoroughly re-examined, education for supervisors, and measures to prevent recurrence, such as changing the free seat system for the test site to a designated seat system, and strengthening the preliminary review.

Yonsei University repeatedly said it would not discuss the retest, but explained that it would wait and see all possibilities open as it requested an investigation.
