University expels big boss absentees

SEVERAL business leaders and government officials appeared on a list of graduate students for dismissal from a major university in central China for frequent absence from their master and doctor programmers.

The dismissal was announced by Huazhong University of Science and Technology in Hubei Province on August 30. Among the 307 students were Zhang Qikuan, police chief of Jingzhou County; Chen Huafen, head of economic development bureau of Wuhan City; and Zhu Hong, general manager of a big plastics company.

More than half of the dismissed were taking the executive MBA courses offered by the university to corporate leaders and government officials.

Although the school has lowered its enrollment threshold, those students still found themselves too busy to attend the classes, reported today's Beijing News.

Zhang Qikuan, who enrolled in the Department of Public Administration in 2004, was rarely seen at the school. He said he had no time for study and planned to quit before the dismissal notice.

Their teachers said some students even asked their subordinates to attend the class and do their homework.
