Howon University

   Howon University.  Chollabuk-do, Impi-gu.  September 6, 2000. 
The following problems have occurred at Howon Univ.: 
1.  Late base, monthly pay.  2.  Late (up to 2 months) severance pay. 
3.  Poor apartment accommodations (old, faulty wiring resulted in one 
teacher's apartment burning down; the school blamed the teacher and did not 
compensate him in any way).  Apartments are gutted and unfurnished. 
4.  Lack of raises to teachers who have been at Howon for 4 + years. 
5.  Teachers required to pay into the Korean retirement plan to the tune of 
W120,000/month.  (Non-refundable to US citizens.) 
6.  A very apathetic and condescending attitude of the Korean staff towards 
foreign staff.
