A South Korean appellate court on Tuesday upheld the jail sentence of Shin Jeong-ah, the former Korean art-history professor who faked a Yale doctorate degree. "Shin's allegation that she earned a doctorate degree in the United States proved false," wrote the court, according to The Korea Times. Shin, 36, will now serve 18 months in prison.
