KAIST Introduces a Student Bill of Rights The Graduate Student Association at KAIST (GSA) established a Bill of Rights for students, outlining student basic beliefs, rights, and obligations. This was the first time for Korean university students to create their own Bill of Rights. The Bill consists of a total of 21 articles. The preamble of the Bill states individual rights for students, confirming that the Constitution of the Republic of Korea extends to the members of the KAIST community. The Articles stipulate the rights and obligations of students, covering such rights as healthcare, marriage, maternal care, privacy protection, study and research opportunities, and security. The GSA held a ceremony to inform KAIST members of the Bill of Rights in front of the Main Administration building on October 6, 2014. Approximately 100 students and faculty members, including President Steve Kang, joined the ceremony. They expressed support for students’ efforts to build a better environment conducive to study and research. Yeon-Ju Kim, the GSA President, said, “The Student Bill of Rights will serve as the first step to raise awareness about our rights and obligations. The Student Association will continue making efforts to provide KAIST students with an opportunity to study and live in a happier and healthier environment.”
