A Whistleblower's SagaBy Chrysan Angela Staff ReporterThere was once a fabled whistle, known to exist but feared and admonished. For eons this weapon lay untouched, but eventually, a brave individual found this whistle, blew it, and set the world on fire. The saga does not end there; in fact, that w

The KAIST Student & Minority Human Rights Committee’s recent decision to prohibit Korean re-explanation in English lectures has brought about heated debates within the KAIST community. Professors’ use of Korean in lectures has been an ongoing dispute that many international students have tried to tackle in recent years. Who should be responsible for raising the issue, and is the usage of Korean in lectures in need of change?

The rationale for the need for menstrual leave is valid and well-intentioned. However, in the context of the grading system in universities, the abuse of the policy to evade attendance penalties cannot be ignored — or simply left to the morals of students.

As much as the policy is indispensable, and as much as the policy is dependent on the students’ honesty, what we female students need to recognize is the weight of our responsibility.

Asking what a society should do in response to suicide can be a good start, but it is self-satisfactory at best. The better question is to ask ourselves what we can offer to prevent suicides.

It is not a secret that South Korea has one of the highest, if not the highest, suicide rates in the world. It can’t be pinpointed to a specific generation; it is the story of everyone, old and young, poor and rich, the famous and the ordinary.

I am sorry. I am very sorry to hear that the new KAIST president’s ambitions have been walled off by the student community. I am not sorry, however, to see another ill-presented dream get rejected by healthily alert students exercising their own rights.
