University official under probe
Print Edition
China’s anti-corruption watchdog announced yesterday that a university vice president was under investigation for violations.
An Xiaoyu, vice president of Sichuan University, was being investigated for suspected serious discipline violations, according to a statement from the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection (CCDI) of the Communist Party of China.
An’s investigation comes on the heels of another investigation of a university official.
The Ministry of Education revealed recently that it was investigating Cai Rongsheng, director of the admissions office of Beijing-based Renmin University of China.
Wang Liying, director of the CCDI discipline inspection team, made the remarks in an article published on the ministry’s website.
Despite previous anti-graft efforts in the education sector, criminal and disciplinary violations in some key parts of the sector have not been fundamentally contained, she said.
The probe will target possible corruption and discipline violation cases in the universities’ independent admissions processes, the article said.
Some Chinese universities are allowed to recruit a certain number of students through their independent admission exams apart from the annual unified national university entrance exam.
However, this discretion in the admissions process has generated the risk of corruption.
Educational equity is a cornerstone for fairness, and measures to rectify corruption in the sector are imperative to promote equality, Wang said.
