Renmin Uni official facing graft charge
Print Edition
THE former head of admissions at Beijing’s Renmin University of China has been arrested on suspicion of bribery, authorities in Jiangsu Province said yesterday.
Cai Rongsheng, 49, is alleged to have taken more than 10 million yuan (US$1.6 million) in bribes while working as director of the admissions and employment office at the university between 2006 and 2013, said prosecutors in Nanjing, capital of Jiangsu.
It is alleged that he was paid the money in return for helping students to make independent enrollment applications, which are an alternative to the mainstream university entrance exam system.
Earlier reports claimed Cai was detained in November while trying to flee to Canada from Shenzhen on a fake passport.
Renmin University confirmed that he had been under investigation since November, but did not elaborate.
Two months earlier, officials from a central inspection group visited the university and found several shortcomings in its anti-graft system, especially in the areas of financial management and independent student admissions.
Meanwhile, Chu Jian, vice president of Zhejiang University in Hangzhou City, was arrested in December last year on suspicion of “economic crimes,” China Youth Daily reported.
Insiders said the case might be linked to allegations he had siphoned off state assets.
The same month, the disciplinary watchdog in southwest China’s Sichuan Province said An Xiaoyu, vice president of Sichuan University, was being investigated for severe discipline violations. Insiders said the probe might be linked to the construction of a new campus for the university.
