It is true that his colleagues didn't like the fact that he pointed out a problem on an exam. That's just one small part of the case. (and the only part he was interested in) Court record shows that he offered at least one student an "A" in his class as long as he made his fellow students to register for his class. Kim also insulted other professors in his classes. Do universities really have a legal obligation to renew his employment contract? (Note he was never fired. His contract didn't get renewed.)

I visited it and it's quite a disturbing story of injustice. An excerpt from <i> Mathematical Intelligencer</i>, which is linked to on Prof Kim's site: <blockquote>What are the lessons of this extraordinary case? As for making a minor blunder in setting problems for an exam, no reproach should be made. Mathematicians make mistakes. But when their mistake is noticed, they should be quick to apologize and retract. <strong><em>To the colleague who pointed out the mistake, the proper professional response is not punishment, but thanks.</em></strong></blockquote> Prof. Kim was screwed over by Sungkyunkwan University, the Korean Mathematical Society, and the justice system. CyberBegger,

Just because Gerry Bevers is a totally moronic idiot who can't keep his mouth shut, doesn't mean he should shoot himself with a crossbow!

So sensational and evil.

This story has all Hollywood themes. Somebody should make movie out of this story. So sensational and evil.

Something that could have happened in 16th century or before. Evil maximized! How can they gangraped the girl and then tear parts of her out while poking needles into her dead body? Was it a live body? Sick, sick, sick. Only the Chinese can do this type of evil. Strike that. The Japanese did maruta in Manchuria. Well, that was done during war time. But, this..this is so evil.
