In the latest development in the international Shingate scandal, disgraced art-history professor Shin Jeong-ah was convicted Monday by a Korean court for forging a doctorate degree from Yale. Shin, whose scandal spurred a $50 million federal lawsuit against the University for not catching the fake degree when asked to verify it by Shin’s employer, will serve 18 months in prison. Shin was also found to have embezzled money from an art museum that she used to curate.
