According to the official WeChat of Zhejiang University, "Published by Zhejiang University", on July 3 1 day, Zhejiang University held a school affairs meeting to consider the punishment of grade 20 16 undergraduate student Ang Moumou and decided to expel him from school.
After Zhejiang University released this news, many netizens said it was a "victory" of public opinion. Under the pressure of public opinion, Zhejiang University corrected its previous mishandling.
I'm afraid these netizens only saw the latest processing results and didn't read the statement issued by Zhejiang University carefully. Zhejiang University's decision to expel Nu Moumou was not aimed at the "fact" that he was sentenced to a one-and-a-half-year suspended sentence for committing rape, but was based on the newly discovered and verified facts of violation of discipline and discipline. Without these newly discovered and verified facts, it is difficult for Zhejiang University to "correct mistakes". Zhejiang University mentioned in the statement: "There are indeed many reported violations of discipline and discipline in Numoumou. The school student reward and punishment Committee conducted serious research and discussion based on facts and taking law and discipline as the criterion, and agreed to restart the disciplinary procedure. "
Earlier, some legal persons pointed out that Zhejiang University had no problem in handling students convicted of rape according to law. As far as Zhejiang University students' disciplinary measures are concerned, this is indeed the case. The method is clear: "Those who are sentenced to public surveillance, criminal detention or independent application of additional punishment by judicial organs, or those who are sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment and declared probation, shall be given probation or expelled from school; Those who are sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment or more will be expelled from school. " The student was sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment and suspended. The school can keep him on probation or expel him from school. "Therefore, if there are no other violations of discipline and discipline, the school is unlikely to change the punishment of detention to expulsion.
Zhejiang University said, "Through this incident, we also found some problems in our work and places worthy of reflection. By analogy, we should carefully evaluate, revise and improve the Measures for Handling Students' Violation of Discipline in Zhejiang University and other relevant regulations, improve school management, strengthen system construction, and provide a solid guarantee for better promoting the rule of law. "This is the key. To put it simply, the previous treatment of Zhejiang University was indeed carried out in accordance with the law, but the relevant regulations were imperfect and there were omissions.
Zhejiang University clearly gives probation or expulsion to students sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment with probation.
For those sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment with probation, what charges are involved, and under what circumstances they can be expelled from school for probation or expulsion from school, which leaves a relatively large room for discretion. When dealing with it, the school seems to strictly follow the school rules, but it may detain students who commit rape with probation and expel students who commit theft.
Students who violate the criminal law also have the right to education, and it is correct for colleges and universities to handle it carefully. But all students must be treated equally, be lenient with others and be moderately lenient. A student committed the crime of rape. Although he dropped out of school, he was still qualified to continue his studies. However, for other students, it is difficult to feel safe with the person who committed this crime. When revising the school rules, the school should make it clear that students who commit rape and other crimes will be expelled even if they drop out of school.
In addition, although the school "dealt with the students who committed rape according to the prescribed procedures and found no violations of discipline and discipline", after being exposed by the media, there were so many new clues to report violations of discipline and discipline, indicating that the school's original handling was sloppy, only based on the fact that he was sentenced to probation for rape, without investigating his consistent performance in school. For a student at school, it is not difficult to understand his behavior. Zhejiang University once responded to the reasons for detention by saying that he was a "first offender" and "he came from a poor ethnic minority area and was a graduate". However, coming from poor ethnic areas cannot be a reason for a lighter punishment. Moreover, even if he comes from a poor ethnic area, his family is not necessarily poor. He has lived in the university for four years, so it is impossible for the school (college) not to understand his living conditions.

Colleges and universities are the main body of running schools independently and should have the right to run schools independently. In order to gain respect for the independent running of schools, it is necessary to establish a system that makes good use of autonomy, first of all, it must conform to the superior law, and second, it must reflect the responsibility, mission and spirit of universities. Dealing with students' illegal and criminal incidents is not only responsible for the students themselves, but also for the reputation of the school. It is not difficult to do this, that is, to adhere to the bottom line of law and education, rather than public tools.
