Chungnam National and Kongju National
decide to re-pursue merger
D-54 Deadline December 31 · Merger application submission deadline (government funding reduction standard)
In short
Chungnam National University decided to re-pursue merger with Kongju National University after the merger was rejected in a September vote.
The university will prepare concrete implementation guarantees including maintaining departments, guaranteeing positions and workplaces for faculty and staff, and then ask for opinions again.
A factor in the background is that if the merger is delayed, government funding of approximately 103.2 billion won could be reduced.
