Look at Korean University Culture
CNN has an interesting article about the culture within Korean universities in regards to their teachers and laboratory professors. What I found most interesting about this article was the amount of corruption within the universities in regards to tenure:
Cutthroat competition for a professorship sometimes involves large sums of money changing hands.
In the first eight months of last year, prosecutors penalized 61 professors and administrators, mostly for receiving bribes in exchange for granting tenure. In 2004, prosecutors punished 23 professors and officials on similar charges as well as misappropriation of funds.
In one case last year, a university chancellor received $4 million from 42 candidates in exchange for appointing them as professors, prosecutors said.
Pretty amazing, $4 million dollars. Makes you wonder how many other people have also been taking bribes and getting away with it.
