Dongduk Women's University is facing internal strife over the transition to co-educational education and recruitment of male students.

In connection with the incident, there are widespread articles online that they will not hire graduates from women's universities, including the university.

"I'm the CEO of a startup, but I'm going to get one from Dongduk Women's University" and "I used to be in charge of human resources at a large company, but I'm out of women's college."

This is a recent post on the online community.

It says that he is a corporate personnel manager or a representative of a small start-up, but he has a justification, so those who graduated from women's colleges will be skipped in the future.

Also, there are questions about whether there is a personnel manager who filters out female college graduates.

There was even a vote on who would be selected among Dongduk Women's University, local national university, and local vocational college if hired.

It is not clear whether the people who wrote the article are actually involved in personnel affairs, but discrimination against men and women when hiring can result in fines of up to 5 million won under the Gender Equality Act.

Earlier on the 16th, Lee Woo-young, chairman of the Korea Human Resources Development Corporation, posted an article to the effect that applicants from Dongduk Women's University should be excluded from hiring, sparking controversy.There are also concerns about a series of related articles on

In the hiring process, discrimination against certain schools or genders may spread, and hiring may be unfair.The Ministry of Employment and Labor began an investigation after a series of reports were received regarding

{Women's Discrimination against Women'.

He said he is aware of the facts and that he will deal with them in accordance with the law and principles if the violation of the law is confirmed.

It seems necessary to prepare appropriate solutions between universities and students so that they do not spread to greater discrimination and conflict.
