Police detain 3 in case of 鈥榮pecial鈥 students
Print Edition
Three people suspected of charging 24 students 150,000 yuan (US$24,200) each to get them a place at Wuhan University in central China鈥檚 Hubei Province have been detained by police, yesterday鈥檚 Beijing Times reported.
Zhang Peng, from Shenzhen in south China, failed to get into university in 2011, the newspaper said, but a man called Chen Dong said he could arrange a place at Wuhan for 1,500 yuan.
Zhang met Chen at the university in September that year with a group of more than 20 other students and Chen told them he would have them registered.
Each was later asked by a 鈥渢utor鈥 named Wang Jie for 15,000 yuan for tuition and 3,500 yuan as boarding fees, the newspaper said.
They were allocated to different classes at the university鈥檚 School of Business and Management and told they had been enrolled in a 鈥渟pecial channel.鈥
They attended classes, tests, sports games and even spring outings with other students over the next four years, but were never named in teachers鈥 roll calls, nor were they given student numbers or student identity cards like their peers, the newspaper said.
Whenever they asked, Wang told them it was because they were in the 鈥渟pecial channel.鈥 Because they were 鈥渟pecial,鈥 the newspaper said, they were too embarrassed to discuss their situation with other students.
But when Wang disappeared earlier this year, Zhang and his roommates began to realise they might have been cheated and the police were informed.
Chen has been detained along with two others said to be involved 鈥 Liu Wancheng and Zhou Tai. Wang is missing.
Zhou is said to have claimed to be involved with the Continuing Education School of Wuhan University.
The school told the newspaper they had never had any dealings with Zhou and would be fully cooperating with the police investigation.
It said it had been enrolling students strictly according to laws and regulations.
