The Seoul Central District Court Civil Division 50 (Presiding Judge Kim Sang-hoon) on the 30th rejected the injunction requests filed by a total of 485 medical students from national universities Kangwon National University, Jeju National University, and Chungbuk National University against the university presidents and the president of the Korea Council for University Education, seeking to prohibit changes to the college admission implementation plan. The court ruled that the injunction requests filed against the state should be transferred to the Seoul Administrative Court.
Earlier, the medical students had signed learning-related contracts with the national universities and filed injunctions with the court on the 22nd, requesting a ban on changes to the admission quotas, arguing that such changes would significantly deteriorate the quality of education.
