First, it is detrimental to the image of colleges and universities.
In the past few academic turmoil involving scholars in colleges and universities, either the parties were silent and avoided questioning, or colleges and universities kept their mouths shut to protect themselves. In the end, the problem remained unclear and the incident went away. This situation is not only not conducive to correcting the style of study, but also detrimental to the image of colleges and universities.
One of the reasons is that the subject responsible for investigating academic misconduct is unknown, or the relevant institutions are vague and not actively involved. For example, in an academic questioning storm involving famous scholars such as Tsinghua and Fudan University, whether colleges and universities should intervene is their own subjective judgment, lacking basic academic rules.
Second, it leads to credit collapse.
Plagiarism and academic misconduct are essentially a kind of deception and a kind of theft. This kind of behavior is equivalent to stealing other people's efforts and fueling their own self-interest.
For a writer who achieved his creation by stealing and collage in exchange for fame, money and achievements, it is no exaggeration to describe his academic misconduct as "deceiving the world and stealing his reputation". Just as no building can stand on quicksand, the achievements made by deception and theft can not support any false praise and reputation.
Third, it affects educational equity.
The issue of educational equity is one of the hot issues that the society generally pays attention to. As the competent department of education, we should have a high degree of consciousness in maintaining educational fairness, always be vigilant against any academic misconduct that violates educational fairness, maintain zero tolerance, and investigate and deal with it together when found, and go to hell.
What needs to be particularly emphasized is that those who seriously undermine education equity by illegal means, cause bad social impact, and even violate the criminal law should be resolutely brought to justice.
Schools should bear the main responsibility of cracking down on academic misconduct.
It is established that colleges and universities are responsible for the construction of study style, and it is their duty to investigate and deal with academic misconduct, and there can be no excuses to escape or shirk. This also means that once someone reports or the public questions, it is necessary for relevant institutions in colleges and universities to conduct corresponding investigations and publish the results. On the other hand, this is a passive intervention. At ordinary times, colleges and universities should actively strengthen the construction of study style and build a long-term mechanism for the construction of study style, which is not only a rainy day, but also the responsibility of colleges and universities.
