The SNU Disciplinary Committee has found guilty of misconduct the SNU professors who collaborated on the 2004 and 2005 papers published in 'Science' magazine, which were proven to contain fabricated data.

The Committee decided on the dismissal of Professor Hwang Woo Suk, who was the main author of the 2004 and 2005 papers. Regarding the other co-authors and collaborators, the following decisions were made:

- Professors Moon Shin Yong, Kang Sung Keun : 3 months suspension
- Professors Lee Byung Chun, Ahn Curie : 2 months suspension
- Professors Lee Chang Kyu, Baek Sun Ha : 1 month salary reduction

By failing to uphold the principles of academic honesty and integrity expected of professors at a national university, the above mentioned professors violated the national trust placed in them and gravely damaged the international reputation of the university. For these reasons these disciplinary measures have been taken.
