Yale to file papers asking for dismissal of Dongguk suit
Will Dongguk look better if it wins $50M from a frivolous lawsuit? Seems like if they were concerned about their image, they would just forget the whole thing.
it's this little thing we have in the united states called the representative justice system. which makes it so that the lawyer himself isn't actually suing anyone.
and no, not all yale grads have such undying loyalty to the university that they wouldn't stand up for the interests of someone harmed by it...assuming real damage actually happened.
This article is lacking in any journalistic neutrality whatsoever. It's not OK for a newspaper to "root for the home team" in a lawsuit. Save that sort of stuff for the editorial section.
The case sounds farfetched but I don't see anything odd about Mr. Grudberg suing his alma mater. People are entitled to be represented by counsel. Lawyers have ethical responsibilities to avoid conflicts of interest but being an alumnus of a university would not put him in a conflict situation. Some alumni (such as me) would choose not to sue their university, but it doesn't seem odd that others would.
Dongguk have all your bases.
I don't want the university to lose but the YDN should be more neutral.
Does anyone else see any irony in FAKING an ART HISTORY degree?
(Although, outside of Lit or WGSS I guess it is among the easiest to fake...)
Dongguk has a pretty strong case for Yale's negligence seriously damaging its reputation. If the Yale Club will give Robert Bork $1 million for being clumsy while on their property, Yale definitely owes Dongguk something.
Oh, gosh. I'm Korean living in Korea.
If Dongguk Univ. was humiliated and defamed , with the condition that it had FAME, it's caused by the Univ. staff and directors, Ms. Shin and the presidential aide Mr. Byun. Did Dongguk Univ. file suits against its directors, Ms. Shin and Mr. Byun?
Does Dongguk Univ. think tha it will get as much fame as yale by this suit? I hope Dongguk Univ. will drop this suit. It makes known all Korean corrupt and wrong sytem into the world.
By the way, I've just read Yale law school has no grade system and no summa cum laude, laude, etc. Can anybody confirm this?
how is Ira Grudberg Yale class of '57, Law ' 60 suing his alma mater? does no one else find this ridiculous?
