Punishing scholars

harsh penalties for scholars implicated in academic fraud were proposed by a political adviser yesterday.

Shao Hong, a member of the CPPCC, also called for the establishment of an academic appraisal system with less emphasis on quantity of academic papers and awards.

Shao believed there were loopholes in China's current evaluation system, which requires scholars to publish a set number of academic papers if they wish to get promoted.

"To some extent, the appraisal system has made some scholars gear toward quick success and instant benefit," Shao, who is also the deputy head of the Central Institute of Socialism, told a press conference at the ongoing annual session of the National Committee of the CPPCC.

Shao called for the government to set up a body to supervise academic misconduct and implement a "zero tolerance" policy against academic fraud.
