The first nine famous universities that entered the "985 Project" were Tsinghua University, Peking University, Harbin Institute of Technology, Zhejiang University, Fudan University, Shanghai Jiaotong University, China University of Science and Technology, Nanjing University and Xi Jiaotong University. Among the universities in China, although the number of these nine universities is less than 1% of the total number of universities in China, the annual research funding, the number of academicians of the two academies and the number of national key disciplines account for 30%-40%, while the key laboratories account for nearly 50%, and the annual research funding accounts for about 1/3. Master students account for 20% and doctoral students account for 30%.
According to reports, the nine national key universities are the elite troops of China's higher education, which are strong in China and dry in China. The state has decided to build these nine world-class universities first. The Ministry of Education supports and encourages these nine key "985 Project" universities to establish the China version of "Ivy League", namely "C9". Harbin Institute of Technology Machinery is a national key first-class discipline, with a strong influence.
1. Huazhong University of Science and Technology Academic Corruption and Others (Reprinted)
2. China University of Science and Technology issues degree certificates to independent college students. Students are dissatisfied with "besieging" the headmaster.
2011At 9: 00 pm on July 2, the lecture hall of the School of Economics of Huazhong University of Science and Technology was brightly lit. Hundreds of students crowded the classroom, and the students who were tired of standing sat on the floor.
Looking up is a row of red words: the dean chats with his classmates. It's just that the atmosphere in the classroom has never seen the "gentleness" of chatting.
"There is only one Hurst, only one Hurst ..." The students with full faces of indignation were sweating, and slogans came and went, and the sign representing the protest was held high above their heads.
The students shouted slogans to Uncle Li Peigen, president of Huazhong University of Science and Technology.
20 10 was praised for the graduation speech of Memory, and the students shouted "Uncle Gen" and "Uncle Gen" crazily.
A year later, "Uncle Gen" was surrounded by the same strong but completely opposite emotions.
His speech was repeatedly interrupted by students' boos, and his promise was repeatedly questioned by students.
Several students put in a good word for him and were shouted by other students: "Tuo, Tuo, Tuo ..."
That day, he repeatedly unscrewed the bottle cap of mineral water and raised his neck to pour water on himself.
"Everybody be quiet. You can listen to me before asking questions. I will respect every student's right to speak ... "This is what he repeated the most that night.
It was Huazhong University of Science and Technology that dragged Uncle Gen into the "storm of public opinion" and awarded degrees from Huazhong University of Science and Technology to some students of two independent colleges, Wuchang Branch and Wenhua College. The degree certificate is exactly the same as that of our school, and there is no difference.
"Where did Wuchang Branch come from?"
Huazhong University of Science and Technology, formerly Huazhong University of Science and Technology (hereinafter referred to as "Huake") is a national key and a first-class undergraduate key line of college entrance examination. China students' learning and perseverance have always been praised by the outside world. Wuchang Branch and Wenhua College, two independent colleges, are three types of undergraduate courses in the college entrance examination.
20 10, 607 points for Chinese science and 555 points for liberal arts. Wenhua College has 486 points in science and 465 points in liberal arts; Wuchang Branch has 497 points in science and 482 points in liberal arts. The difference between the scores of China University of Science and Technology and two independent colleges is 100.
Long before Uncle Gen questioned the students, the event about the "degree gate" of Huake had been fermented on the Internet.
On June 23rd, Huake Wuchang Branch published an article on its home page, entitled "188 1 Graduates are happy to get their degrees, and the winning rate has reached a record high". According to the article, "On June 22nd, Class 65,438+0, 2065,438+08,865,438+0 received the bachelor's degree certificate issued by Huake".
Another message on the same homepage forms some kind of confrontation with it. According to the news, more than 800 students from Huazhong University of Science and Technology failed to graduate as scheduled.
"Wuchang branch is what Dongdong? Where did it come from? Who has heard of it? There are actually a large number of students who have obtained the degree certificate of our school, but our own students can't graduate? " This undoubtedly stimulated the nerves of some overseas students in China.
Doubts come and go.
Since the end of June, a large number of angry posts have occupied the cat's paw, the school net and the horizon. This triggered the "degree gate" incident.
Students question the school's "selling diplomas"
A student with the net name "wgl" posted on the BBS of Baiyun Yellow Crane: "I feel sorry for these seniors. It's better to learn Mandarin, so high school doesn't have to be so hard ... If anyone applies for Chinese studies in the future, just call them Bao Hua University and Wuchang Branch. Isn't it, Uncle Gen? "
In addition to venting their emotions, some students posted that it is unfair for independent college students to get Chinese degree certificates.
For example, independent college students get China degree certificates to find jobs, and employers who don't know the truth are hired. In recent years, because some independent college graduates are confused, users have questioned the teaching quality of Huazhong University of Science and Technology. Also, the examination difficulty and grading standards of Huake and independent colleges are different. Some independent college students seem to have higher average scores than China students, but when they go abroad, they are more competitive. ...
These posts were forwarded, topped and spread in major forums, and students' anger gradually fermented. From questioning the fairness of education to questioning the school's "selling diplomas" and then questioning Uncle Gen.
On July 2nd, a user named "pgli" posted an invitation on the BBS of Baiyun Yellow Crane: "I have been on a business trip for almost a week, and I just got back yesterday. Students who have questions and opinions really want to know each other. How about tonight? "
"pgli" is the principal Li Peigen, so there is the scene at the beginning of the article.
The headmaster said, "The school has done nothing shameful."
At the meeting on July 2, "Uncle Gen" explained that issuing certificates to independent colleges is a problem left over from history. At present, national independent colleges and branch schools rely on relatively strong and mature universities in China to jointly run schools and promote the development of higher education. It is in line with the provisions of the Ministry of Education that the school awards bachelor's degrees to students of independent colleges. Independent colleges are not qualified to issue degree certificates, so they have been issued by Huake. However, the graduation certificates of independent college students are issued by independent colleges themselves, which is different from that of China University of Science and Technology. He explained: "We invited people in, so we have to issue them a degree certificate." ? It's so unreasonable to say that regardless of others, regardless of others ... "As soon as the voice fell, the students started to boo.
A student stood up and interrupted him directly: "You have been talking about how to safeguard the interests of students in Wenhua College. What about the interests of students in our school? " What about the interests of all of you here? "Off-site applause.
Students mentioned that when looking for a job, students in independent colleges often hide their diplomas and only show their degree certificates, saying that they are Chinese majors.
"Uncle Gen" replied: "This is beyond our control, but we can identify it. Diploma is different. The insider will ask where he graduated and what is the relationship with the main school. "
The students whispered disapprovingly, "Most of the recruits are amateurs."
"I admit that I can't say that it has no effect at all. This is the product of the rapid development of higher education. " Uncle Gen admitted. But he stressed, "We can tell you responsibly that our school has not done anything disgraceful on this issue."
Siege "Uncle Gen": "You owe a specific date"
"Uncle Gen" also mentioned that the ultimate trend of independent colleges is to completely decouple from our school, and Wuchang Branch and Wenhua College are also actively preparing for independence.
"Uncle Gen" said, "decoupling should be prepared, and the degree of preparation of independent colleges is not exactly the same. It is unkind and irresponsible to kick it away before it is ready. "
The student asked, "Can the school directly explain it with official documents?"
"Uncle Gen" replied, "No problem."
The student asked, "When exactly? What day is today? Tell everyone that it does not exist to maintain the reputation of the school. "
"Uncle Gen" replied, "Thank you for your advice."
The student asked again, "What's the date today? You owe a specific date! "
"Chastity" and "Little Three" principals said, "I can't change the reality in China."
At the meeting, some students and Uncle Gen generously discussed "chastity" and "mistress".
The student said: "Just now President Li mentioned that we broke off diplomatic relations with them (independent colleges), which is not authentic and kind. I want to ask a question about' chastity'. If' mistress' interferes with normal marriage, do you need to be true and kind to' mistress'? This in itself is a problem related to the school's' chastity', which is a very serious problem. Please give some advice! "
The applause in the classroom thundered.
"Classmate ... Classmate ..." Uncle Gen waved his hand and said, "I've explained it to you many times, and I can't relate it to chastity. You can't compare it like this. This is the product of China's education adapting to the requirements of ordinary people in a specific historical period. I can't change this reality in China, and Li Peigen can't change it anyway ... "
At 9: 3 pm on July 8th1,"Uncle Gen" posted on the BBS of "Baiyun Yellow Crane" again, fulfilling his promise at the meeting.
It is reported that the "degree gate" incident of Huake is not the first time.
Many students who graduated in 2007 still remember the "degree door" in 2007. It was also detonated on the internet, and it was also explained by Uncle Gen. As graduates left school one after another, the incident gradually cooled down.
The reporter called Uncle Gen last week, and he refused the interview on the grounds that it was inconvenient to express his opinions.
