South Korean higher education institutions have begun to deny admission to applicants who have been involved in bullying incidents. The government has empowered universities to establish their own disciplinary measures. For instance, Kyungpook National University has a policy that deducts between 10 to 150 points from an applicant's score, based on the seriousness of their previous actions. While some private universities outright reject students with a bullying background, others that are facing challenges in filling their enrollment may overlook such issues. However, educators express concerns regarding the implications of this approach. David Tizzard, a professor at Seoul Women's University, comments that education is often the most effective means of reforming behavior. He warns that isolating bullies as a form of punishment could exacerbate their alienation, potentially limiting opportunities for students from less privileged backgrounds to improve their circumstances. What are your thoughts on these measures against bullying?
