According to the result of audit examined from April 3rd to 12th, 2017, by the Ministry of Education, Dongguk University committed the accounting fraud about 70 billion won. Revealing the school’s misdeed, the press conference started with the statements of several members of Midongchu who took part in it. Among those, Kim Hong-kyun (Sophomore, Political Science and Diplomacy Major), a member of Midongchu, said, “I heard that the school spirit is Wisdom, Compassion, and Endeavor. However, I do not know where I can find the ‘Compassion’ in this situation. The school committed 70 billion won accounting fraud and ignored the voices of the school’s cleaning workers and the students. Is it the ‘Compassion’ the school mentioned?”
