I've delivered talks at more than half the Ivy League and even Yonsei (twice!) but Kodae has never once invited me to do anything and was told yesterday that it was because I didn't graduate from the literature departments. Which shouldn't matter, except the professors are mostly not from Kodae...

I have the windows open in my office today and some professor talking on the phone outside just now said "Well you know Korea University grads are known for acting like a bunch of second-rate gangsters" and I'm willing myself not to go down there to prove his point 😌

... so I am being excluded for not graduating from the departments that they themselves did not graduate from?? 😂 If this is the truth then the school has changed beyond recognition for me and yes, I probably shouldn't do anything with them, polluting my alma mater with their gross puritanism

When I was an undergrad, I could take any course at any department and the professors would not bat an eye; I had a genetics professor be amused at best that a law student was taking his course but I was never discriminated against in any department. And if that's not how it is now, then 🤷🏻‍♂️
