The government decided to conduct an on-site audit of Seoul National University Medical School today after the move to spread approval for alliance leave of absence to medical schools nationwide, right?

Yes, medical students have taken a leave of absence and are not taking classes after the government announced its policy to expand the number of medical schools in February this year.

The government has adhered to the principle of not approving "alliance leave" in the form of collective action, saying it is not a legitimate reason for taking a leave of absence.

However, on the 30th of last month, Seoul National University Medical School rebelled against the government's "no approval of leave of absence" policy for the first time and approved the application of 700 medical students for a semester off.

Seoul National University's school regulations state that the final decision to approve medical students' leave of absence is the dean of the medical school,
The head of
approved his application for a leave of absence without discussing it with the university headquarters.

Seoul National University Medical School's justification for taking a leave of absence is educational disruption.

Medical school professors say that even if medical students who took a leave of absence from the first semester return in November this year according to government guidelines, they will not be able to properly conduct a year's worth of education until February next year.

However, the government expressed strong regret and said it would immediately pursue an on-site audit.

After a while, the Ministry of Education will send 12 auditors to the Gwanak Campus of Seoul National University to conduct an on-site audit.

The Ministry of Education announced a strict response policy to conduct the strongest audit as much as possible.

Although the school has the authority to approve leave of absence, the Ministry of Education can supervise each university's leave of absence approval measures under the Higher Education Act.

If any academic violations are found, administrative measures such as corrective orders, reduction of capacity, and suspension of student recruitment are possible, so schools have not been able to approve the leave of absence because they have been wary of the Ministry of Education.

However, as Seoul National University Medical School accepts applications for leave of absence, there is a prospect that approval for leave of absence will spread to other universities.

First of all, about half of the 40 medical schools have the right to approve leave of absence by the dean of the medical school, not the president,
Medical school professors say that even if the president of
approves the leave of absence, there is no problem with the procedure.

Professors' consistent opinion was that the emergency committee of medical professors nationwide should approve the leave of absence from school during a call with YTN,

However, it was a matter of who would take the lead first, he said, explaining that internal discussions are taking place at each school as the first case of approval for a leave of absence came out.

From 12:30 p.m., a private joint meeting of medical professors, medical professors, and deans was held at the Korean Medical Association.

It is known that there were discussions about the approval of leave of absence from school.

An official from the Medical Association also discussed the issue of taking a leave of absence from the alliance, including the medical personnel supply and demand estimation committee, at a joint meeting today
He said he would express his position in the medical community on the issue of gathering
will.
