Moon Administration Attempt to Dump KAIST President Fails for Now

At least one enemy of the Moon administration has been able to keep his job and avoid jail for now: 

Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (KAIST) President Shin Sung-chul will keep his post after the board decided Friday to defer the voting on whether to suspend him.

The board meeting was in response to a Ministry of Science and ICT’s demand to suspend Shin for allegedly embezzling money from the national research fund when he was Daegu Gyeongbuk Institute of Science and Technology (DGIST) president in 2014.

Shin denied the accusations, but the science ministry also filed a complaint with the prosecution.

“During the board meeting, the claims of the two sides from the government and the school were in opposition to each other, but they agreed to postpone the suspension voting,” a KAIST spokesman told reporters at the Eltower in southern Seoul. 

The school said the issue would be discussed at the next board meeting. KAIST is scheduled to hold its regular board meeting in early 2019.
