An American college has filed a lawsuit against KBS for a negative report on the college, seeking US$3 million in damages.
According to the Korean broadcaster on Tuesday, Yuin University in California filed a compensation suit against KBS in the U.S. on Jan. 8, claiming that a KBS report alleging the college to be a diploma mill caused tremendous damage to the school.
KBS reported on the college in a current affairs program on the fake academic credentials scandal surrounding the disgraced curator Shin Jeong-ah on Sept. 2 last year.
The report said that Yuin University appeared to be a phony school whose name was not found on any websites of reliable agencies, such as the California state government.
The American college said that it is a real school which selects students in line with proper procedures, although its students do not earn recognized degrees.
The school believes that the KBS report was clearly wrong. The Korean broadcaster is looking for a lawyer to represent it in the U.S.
