UCLA通告全美:武汉大学多名学生篡改成绩单 [警告]
发信站: BBS 水木清华站 (Tue Sep 3 10:38:51 2002), 站内信件
Dear Colleagues,
I would like to call your attention to a very disturbing set of circumstance
s
of which many of you may not be aware. It has to do with the authenticity of
t ranxxxxs emanating from universities within the PRC.
We recently had to verify a student''s set of ranxxxxs from Wuhan
University, and found that what we had in our office, which looked like an o
riginal,
with the appropriate stamps etc., was in fact very different from what was o
n
file with the University. Several courses had been added and many grades wer
e
changed. Additionally, three of the student''s five letters of recommendation
were
from professors who taught courses that were never taken (the letterhead was
also different from the other two letters).
During a recruitment visit to UCLA, the student was interviewed by faculty
members in our program, and was soundly endorsed for acceptance. Subsequent
to
our discovery of the falsified papers in the dossier, we had no choice but t
o
withdraw our offer of acceptance.
In collaboration with the U.S. university where the student was enrolled in
amaster''s program, we determined that yet another and different falsified
tranxxxx was on file with them. Moreover, we now know that there is at least
one
operation in China from which the applicant was able to obtain these sets of
forged tranxxxxs. When both of our programs went into the archives and
examined the tranxxxxs xxxxted over the past few years by other applicants w
ho had
graduated from Wuhan, we found them to have two different appearances: Ones
that
have the look of the originals that we received directly from the Dean of
Records, and the others that were identical to the forgeries. We are tentati
vely
concluding that other applicants and yes, even current and former students,
xxxxted forged tranxxxxs; some going back as far as 1992. Needless to say, t
he
student in question was expelled from the master''s program based on the
evidence collected.
At this point I am forced to question the authenticity of tranxxxxs from
other universities in China as well. As a recent article in US News and Worl
d
Reports points out, there is a dramatic rise in falsified test scores, diplo
mas
and tranxxxxs from the
PRC(http://www.usnews.com/usnews/edu/co...chinafraud.htm.
Regrettably, I am now in the process of having to formulate new policies
and procedures as to how we can guarantee that applications from the PRC can
be
deemed authentic. In the next few weeks, we will likely consider suspending
appli
cations/admissions from the PRC until a mechanism is in place whereby only a
ut
hentic tranxxxxs are received directly from a single responsible individual
within the administration of each university. It has been difficult enough t
o
navigate through PRC applications in light of revelations by the ETS of
irregularities in GRE and TOEFL scores.
Uncertainties about tranxxxxs make this task even more difficult. Since
this matter is of such gravity, I would like this letter to be the beginning
of
an on-line dialogue whose ultimate goal is to formulate a consensus policy t
hat
will send a loud and clear statement to the student population of the PRC: W
e
will no longer be taken advantage of in this way.
I realize that the majority of students who apply to our programs from
China are sincere applicants who should not be presumed guilty of such crime
s.
I feel just as strongly that we must stand together to eradicate a system
that has undoubtedly led to millions of our tax dollars being spent on
dishonest students who have fraudulently displaced the honest ones from our
admissions
process. I would be most grateful to hear your experiences, your opinions an
d
your suggestions.
Thanks in advance,
