Since July 2023, discussions on the integration between CBNU and Korea National University of Transportation (KNUT) have been in full swing with the aim to be selected for the government’s Glocal 30 project. However, the two universities had experienced difficulties because of opposition from university members as well as the local community. Contentious issues include the separation of diplomas, transfer of departments, and establishment of a plan that is not specific enough. At present, the two universities have resolved several important issues such as the university name and separation of diplomas through steady discussions, but university members have pointed out that, “Information on the integration and process of the project are not being shared sufficiently.” | |

In Feb. of last year, when the Yoon Suk-yeol administration announced a policy to increase medical school enrollment quota by 2,000 students, medical students who opposed this took collective leave of absence. The reason was that they argued their opinions were not consulted when increasing the existing medical school quota from 3,058 to 5,058 students. The medical-government conflict that continued for about a year and six months reached a turning point on July 12, when the Korean Medical Student Association (KMSA) announced the return of all medical students, about a month after the new government took office. | |

Every exam season at CBNU, fierce competition erupts over reserving library seats. However, despite the reservation app often showing a “fully booked” status, the library frequently appears half-empty. It is common to find seats occupied only by unattended bags—a phenomenon widely referred to as the “Library Seat Monopolization.” As a result, many students who actually wish to use the library are unable to do so. This issue has not only arisen during the current exam period but recurs every semester. | |
