Hefei University of Technology is not a 985 university, but a university with 2 1 1 and one of the three universities in Anhui Province, with 2 1 1.

985 and 2 1 1 are two different university construction projects, and there is no degradation to 2 1 1. The selection time of the two projects is different, the selection criteria are different, and the number of selected institutions is also much worse.

Regarding Hefei University of Technology, there are mainly the following points to be noted, including:

1, the school is the third batch of national key universities.

From 65438 to 0954, China's Ministry of Education identified the first batch of six national key universities. Following the 20 national key universities designated by 1959, Hefei University of Technology was approved as a national key university together with China University of Science and Technology on 1960.

2. The school has never been a 985 university.

From the implementation of "985 Project" in 1998 to the comprehensive construction of "Double First Class" in 20 19, Hefei University of Technology was never selected as "985". Only in 2009, the school was included in the national "985 Project" innovation platform for university construction, but it was not a 985 university. Therefore, it is nonsense to say that "He Gong University was downgraded from 985".
