The Graduate School of Hunan University plans to cancel the admission qualification of these 69 2019 graduate students.
After 69 quasi graduate students in Hunan University were admitted, why did they give up their admission qualifications? How do China's laws and regulations view this behavior of "recording without reading"?
The publicity of colleges and universities has attracted attention
August 24-25 is the registration time for 2019 graduate students of Hunan University. But a few weeks after the check-in time, 69 new graduate students did not report to the school.
The campus of Hunan University, located in Changsha, the capital of Hunan Province, is located on the Bank of the Xiangjiang River and at the foot of Yuelu Mountain. It enjoys the reputation of "Millennium University and century famous university".
According to the official website of Hunan University, Hunan University is a national key university directly under the Ministry of education, a key university of the national "211 Project" and "985 Project", and a national "world-class university". The university has 27 first-class disciplines authorized for doctor's degree, 1 authorized for doctor's professional degree, 36 first-class disciplines authorized for master's degree and 20 authorized for master's professional degree.
However, in such a national key university, 69 of the new graduate students admitted this year gave up the opportunity to study. On September 29, the Graduate School of Hunan University announced that it planned to cancel the admission qualifications of 69 graduate students.
On October 7, the reporter found this announcement on the official website of the Graduate School of Hunan University, entitled "announcement on canceling the admission qualification of 69 2019 graduate students such as Zheng".
According to the publicity, it is verified that some graduate freshmen apply to give up their admission qualification for personal reasons such as going abroad and working, and a few freshmen fail to report for duty within the time limit, a total of 69. According to Article 3 of the measures for the administration of graduate student status of Hunan University (Hu Da Yan Zi [2018] No. 21), 'freshmen shall go through the admission procedures at the university according to the relevant requirements and specified time limit with the graduate admission notice and their valid ID card. If you cannot enter school on schedule for some reason, you should ask for leave from the school in advance and attach relevant certificates. Generally, the leave time shall not exceed two weeks; Those who do not ask for leave or ask for leave beyond the time limit shall be deemed to have given up their admission qualification except for legitimate reasons such as force majeure, and the above 69 freshmen shall be deemed to have given up their admission qualification. The graduate school plans to cancel the admission qualification of 69 graduate students such as Zheng. Now the list is publicized as follows. If you have any objection, please contact the graduate training office within working days of the publicity period. The publicity also left the office phone of the graduate school.
The publicity time is from September 29 to October 10, 2019. Because this time period coincides with the National Day holiday, according to the requirements of publicity, the 12 day publicity period has only 5 working days.
The reporter noted that a detailed list of 69 graduate students is attached below the publicity. These graduate freshmen who give up their admission qualifications are admitted from 16 colleges such as the school of electrical and information engineering, the school of law, the school of business administration, the school of public administration and the school of architecture of Hunan University. Among them, the largest number is the school of business administration, with 17 graduate students giving up enrollment.
It is common to give up enrollment for a variety of reasons
Why did the 69 new graduate students suddenly give up the opportunity to study in national key universities?
The reason disclosed by the Graduate School of Hunan University is that "a few freshmen failed to report in due to personal reasons such as going abroad and working".
On October 7, the reporter contacted a new graduate student who gave up his admission qualification. The college student told reporters that before entering school, he successfully passed the civil service examination in a certain place and was admitted as a national civil servant.
"My family's economic conditions are average. After comparing whether to get a job first or go to graduate school first, I still choose to get a job first and study again when I have the opportunity." The college student told reporters.
Chen Xin (a pseudonym) is a master's tutor in a university in Hunan. He once encountered the phenomenon that graduate Freshmen 'record but don't read'.
Chen Xin told reporters that there are many reasons for giving up the admission qualification after being admitted to colleges and universities, mostly in two cases.
According to Chen Xin, the first situation is that some excellent students in undergraduate colleges and universities are recommended to graduate students in their own colleges and universities, but these recommended students will also apply to other colleges and universities for postgraduate study. If such recommended students are admitted by foreign colleges and universities, they often give up the opportunity to graduate students in their own undergraduate colleges and universities and transfer to other colleges and universities for postgraduate study; The second situation is that some graduate students, while taking the postgraduate entrance examination, will also participate in the local civil servant examination and study abroad examination. If the civil servant examination and study abroad examination pass, they often give up the opportunity to study for postgraduate and choose to get a job first or study abroad.
"Our school used to have graduate students give up their admission qualifications, but 69 graduate students give up their admission at one time, which is still rare." Chen Xin believes that this situation shows that graduate freshmen are facing more and more choices.
According to the reporter, this phenomenon of "recording but not reading" is common not only in Hunan University, but also in some other colleges and universities in China. In addition to graduate students, some undergraduate and junior college students also have this phenomenon of "recording but not reading".
A person familiar with the matter told reporters that there are basically three reasons for undergraduates and junior college students to "record but not read": first, they are not satisfied with the admission colleges and universities and decide to repeat the examination; Second, there are other places to go, such as studying in foreign universities; Third, a few students may not be able to go to school because of poor economic conditions or health and other reasons.
Breaking the appointment will affect the enrollment order, and there is an urgent need for a good governance prescription
Will it disturb the normal enrollment order of colleges and universities if postgraduates give up their admission qualification at will after being admitted by colleges and universities? How do China's laws and regulations view this behavior of "recording without reading"?
Chen Xin revealed that he had encountered such a thing a few years ago. That year, a college student was admitted as a master's student by his university, but later the University gave up admission and went to work.
"Because it was time for freshmen to check in, it was too late to make up and adjust other students. Finally, the school had to cancel the enrollment index." Chen Xin frankly said that this behavior of "recording but not reading" has troubled the normal enrollment order of colleges and universities, resulting in insufficient tutors for some masters and doctoral students, and even some tutors have no students to bring, resulting in a waste of educational resources in Colleges and universities.
On October 5, the news that 69 graduate freshmen broke their appointment with Hunan University was disclosed by netizens in the online forum, which immediately aroused heated discussion among netizens.
Some netizens believe that these dishonest candidates should be included in the 'dishonest list', limit their next examination, or provide the records to the credit investigation institutions for future credit evaluation. Some netizens believe that although this behavior is dishonest, it is inappropriate to include it in the 'dishonest list'.
The reporter's investigation found that there is no effective governance for the behavior of "recording but not reading" of college freshmen. However, Henan Province tried to introduce relevant restriction mechanisms for this kind of "recording without reading" behavior last year.
Some media disclosed that in recent years, the number of unreported candidates for undergraduate admission in Henan Province has increased year by year, which not only caused a waste of enrollment quota, but also affected the investment of some colleges and universities in the enrollment plan of Henan Province. As one of the provinces with the most fierce competition for college entrance examination candidates in China, in 2018, Henan Province defined the disciplinary measures for violation of voluntary dishonesty for the first time.
In July 2018, the relevant person in charge of Henan recruitment office told the media that if the enrollment plan was wasted due to the fact that they did not enter school after admission in 2018, the number of schools applying for the college entrance examination in 2019 will be limited. In each batch of parallel volunteers, only two schools are allowed to fill in their wishes; In addition, the fact that the examinee is dishonest will be recorded in his personal integrity file and provided to colleges and universities in the admission of ordinary talents. As the basis for measuring the examinee's morality, colleges and universities can refuse to admit dishonest examinees.
After the introduction of this measure in Henan Province, it has caused heated discussion. Proponents believe that the introduction of such punishment measures can effectively curb the occurrence of students' dishonesty, force students to fill in their volunteers carefully and be more responsible for their own volunteers; Opponents believe that it is the right of the school to register or not, and it is the freedom of students to read or not.
So, how do China's relevant laws and regulations view this' recording without reading 'behavior? The reporter interviewed relevant legal experts.
According to Huang Jie, a professor at the Law School of Hunan Normal University, China's laws and regulations currently have no relevant restrictive provisions on the behavior of College Freshmen 'recording but not reading'.
'‘ Record without reading & rsquo; There are many reasons. Although this behavior is understandable, it not only endangers the enrollment order of colleges and universities, but also causes a waste of educational resources in Colleges and universities, which should be paid attention to by the competent department of education. " Huang Jie told reporters.
