Koreans fake RP U degrees
November 26, 2007
South Korea’s fake degree scandal has spread to the military, with 13 army officers sacked and prosecuted for faking Filipino university degrees, according to reports from Seoul.
Military prosecutors have indicted the 13 lieutenant-level officers for faking degrees,” a defense ministry spokesman told AFP.
Eight others waiting to be commissioned as officers were also found to have forged degrees from the same university, he said. Their commissions have been cancelled. They have been ordered to complete obligatory military service as enlisted soldiers, he said. South Korea recruits hundreds of college graduates as officers each year in addition to military academy graduates.
Yonhap news agency said investigators flew to the Philippines on a tip-off in August that the officers had stayed in the country to secure forged college degrees through a broker.
