BUSINESS leaders and government officials appear on a list of graduate students for dismissal from a major university in central China for frequent absence from masters and doctorate degree courses.
The list was announced by Huazhong University of Science and Technology in Hubei Province on August 30. Among the 307 students listed are Zhang Qikuan, police chief of Jingzhou County, Chen Huafen, head of the economic development bureau of Wuhan City, and Zhu Hong, general manager of a large plastics company.
More than half of the students on the list were taking executive MBA courses offered to corporate leaders and government officials.
Although the school has lowered its enrollment threshold, those students were too busy to attend classes, reported yesterday's Beijing News.
Zhang enrolled in the Department of Public Administration in 2004, but rarely attended. He said he had no time for study and planned to quit before the dismissal notice.
Teachers said some students asked subordinates to attend class and do their homework.
Students are required to complete the course within four years, said Li Zhenbiao, head of student affairs. Li said some extended their time to as long as nine years, but still failed to complete the work.
While more institutions are offering MBA courses to business leaders and officials, their quality has been questioned as many do not even require entrance exams.
