On November 4, Professor Yoon Tae-Ung (Department of Electrical Engineering) of Korea University (KU), who is also the President of the Engineers and Scientists for Change (ESC) institution, released a petition about President Park Geun-hye¡¯s defamatory scandal with Choi Sun-shil. Professor Yoon and the ESC Institution uploaded an online statement which quoted, ¡°Korea Scientists and Engineers Demand President Park Geun Hye¡¯s Resignation and Questions the Ruling Party¡¯s Responsibilities.¡±
The declaration utilized the method of approaching the articles like that of a thesis including a ¡®background-procedure-results-conclusion,' each criticizing the mistakes made by President Park by referring to the Korean Constitution. For example, the petition quoted that in 2015, the president¡¯s decision to rewrite Korean history textbooks violated Article 31, which states that ¡°Independence, professionalism, and political impartiality of education of institutions of higher learning shall be guaranteed.¡±
The statement soon gained many supporters from Korean scientists, with 503 Korean scientists and engineers obtaining signatures and participating in the protest. Professor Yoon said that ¡°The ESC hopes that our small gesture can make our world a better place to live in.¡±
