◇Anchor> Yesterday, Dongduk Women's University conducted a student vote on whether they agree or disagree with the transition to coeducational education, and there was not a single vote in favor of it.

◆Oh Yoon-sung> 99.9%. Now, the student council of Dongduk Women's University actually has 6,500 students, and the opening quorum of the participants is 650, which is 10% of the student council. However, 1973 people attended the general meeting, and as I said earlier, 1971 people expressed their opposition to the transition to co-educational education. Therefore, it seems that they are holding a sit-in protest to occupy the facility, but the student council is scheduled to meet on the 21st, and if the engineering conversion agenda itself is withdrawn, they are willing to withdraw from the protest. On the other hand, an official at Dongduk Women's University said, "Not all of the students actually participated, but there are opinions among the students that oppose it." Therefore, he expressed his position that he would fully collect students' opinions in the decision process to switch to co-educational.

◇Anchor> As you said, there were about 6,500 students, and 1,900 of them attended. In any case, the gap between the school and the students is not narrowing. Professors also issued an appeal as a group.

◆Oh Yoon-sung> According to a group appeal by the faculty of Dongduk Women's University, some students are continuing to infringe on students' right to learn and professors' right to study by damaging facilities and occupying buildings on campus. While saying this, he expressed concern about the fact that the conflict in the school turned into a social problem and said he hopes this will stop immediately. In addition, the refusal of group classes and the closure of unauthorized occupation of classrooms are serious issues that hinder normal educational activities or legitimate academic administration. He said he hopes it will be normalized soon. Finally, at the general meeting, the university said that school facilities should not be damaged or damaged for any reason, and that the university's claim that the goal of women's universities is to extinguish nature is shocking.

◇ Anchor> The school said it would respond hard to students, but it also mentioned the estimated damage.

◆Oh Yoon-sung> The school estimates that the amount of damage is from 2.4 billion won to 5.4 billion won, but he expressed his intention to hold him seriously responsible for this incident. In fact, it has been reported that if you see it, there is violence or a bust, and there is a spray on it.

◇Anchor> If you look at the legal profession now, there is a possibility that students will be criminally liable as well as civil damages.

◆Oh Yoon-sung> There are many different opinions.Ma is a little stronger to say that not only criminal liability but also civil liability for damages can occur now. So, even if you are a student, you said that it could be criminal responsibility, that is, property damage, in that it means that you paint a bust or damage a property without permission. And in fact, there is an opinion that obstructing a fair or breaking into a professor's lab, which has nothing to do with opposing the transition to co-education, can also be a problem.

◇ Anchor> I hope the students and the school will find some contact.
