Regarding inappropriate conduct in research activities by faculty members of this university

In response to suspicions of inappropriate conduct in research activities by a faculty member of this university, an investigative committee, including external members, was established. As a result of conducting written investigations, interviews, and other investigations, it was determined that the research activities were carried out without following the necessary internal university procedures, and therefore, the conduct was deemed inappropriate.
Taking this matter very seriously, our university will take measures against the faculty member in question and will strive to prevent a recurrence so as not to damage public trust in the future.
