About Olivet Watch
Olivet University, founded by controversial religious leader David Jang, has repeatedly faced serious allegations of forced labor, financial exploitation, and academic negligence. Following extensive investigations, California authorities revoked Olivet’s license on December 10, 2024, citing systemic violations, deceptive practices, and a troubling disregard for student welfare. While Olivet has vowed to fight the closure, survivors continue to come forward, sharing stories of unpaid labor, restricted freedom, and lasting trauma.
OlivetWatch is dedicated to bringing these experiences to light, supporting survivors, and providing transparent, evidence-backed updates to the public.
