Do Not Exceed Your Quota
On Monday I had an arbitration hearing with Co-Counsel from a Korean law firm. The Associate from the Korean firm was an American who spoke fluent Korean and lives in Seoul. He told me that when he was at Harvard, he was offered a one-year scholarship to study at Ewha University in Seoul because of his facility with the language.
Ewha WOMENS' University is probably the largest womens' university in the world, with about 20,000 female undergraduates. Apparently Harvard had just started an exchange program with Ewha and this guy was one of the few suitable candidates who spoke fluent Korean.
He told me that when he got to Ewha, he discovered that there were 3 other male undergraduates in the university. The first night there, he gathered them together and told them "We have to establish some ground rules. The quota for each of you is 5,000 women. Do not exceed your quota." :)
