On May 4th, at the Natural Science Building, there was a lecture held by Professor, Ahn Jin-geol who wrote the book, ‘The Nation of Mad Tuition Fees,’ that has recently become a hot issue. Because of its hot response, the student association would start lending “The Nation of Mad Tuition Fees” by “Book Lending Project” which is letting students borrow some books for free. Professor Ahn is a team leader of ‘the People’s Solidarity for Participation Democracy’ and a professor of Sungkonghoe University. He analyzed the truth behind increasing tuition fees.

He explained the truth in detail and the reasons for these increases. Moreover, he criticized poor education in university compared to a high tuition fee and he also discussed how universities are increasing their assets by increasing tuition fees. He also asserted that a tuition fee loan for students is ‘not’ real for students but it just traps them in debt. Prof. Ahn tried to send this message, taken from his book, to the audience through his lecture.
