Doctor A presented an allegation that exaggeration of one’s own scientific and scholarly achievements occurred in the application documents of B, a doctor appointed in the position of a professor in the arts. According to the preliminary RCR inquiry, however, this was a case of negligence, not an RCR violation.
A was not satisfied with the outcome of the preliminary inquiry or with its impartiality. The person who conducted the preliminary inquiry was dean C, who had made the disputed appointment.
TENK concluded in its statement that C had been disqualified when conducting the preliminary inquiry, which is why the RCR process that had been carried out was invalidated. Consequently, the university was to initiate a new RCR process on the matter.
