New addition: recent controversy at the University of Asia

A black box controversy broke out in the admissions to the Doctoral Program in Business Administration for the 110th academic year of Asia University. A broke the news to Apple News that a candidate who was not on the interview list was admitted and seriously questioned the fairness of the exam. The Management Department confessed that due to negligence in the task, it wrongly identified a candidate for not completing the registration process. Upon learning this, he proactively notified and fabricated the remote video interview, emphasizing that the process was not negligent. However, the school’s admissions office stated that it was not aware that there were make-up interviews for the doctoral exam and did not consider it reasonable, and it will also clarify whether the admission process complies with the relevant regulations. The Department of Higher Education of the Ministry of Education launched an investigation on the 21st.

According to the “Registration Guidelines for the Entrance Exam for Master’s and Doctoral Programs in the 110th Academic Year of Asia University”, the Doctoral Program in Business Economics and Strategy of the Department of Business Administration is expected to enroll to 8 students. Candidates will register starting in October and will be notified and announced on November 23. 24 Candidates participated in the interview on November 28 and listed each candidate’s name, admission ticket number, and interview time. On December 4, candidates were notified to check if they were admitted online.

The source of the news, Mr. A, said that candidates for the PhD program at China University of Science and Technology can only check if they are admitted this year and cannot know the full list of admissions and preparations. However, on December 5, a copy of the category and number of the admission ticket of the doctorate. Files, scores and rankings were leaked. After comparing the interview announcements, it was surprisingly found that the admission ticket number of the second candidate on the list was not among the 24 candidates who were interviewed, but there were review materials (40%) and interviews (60%) . %), criticizing enrollment in the school’s doctoral program as a black box assignment.

Chen Shiliang, director of the Department of Business Management at China Technological University, said that the candidate has a certificate of low- and middle-income households and that the application fee is exempt. Due to the negligence of the department organizer, he wrongly identified him for not having paid the fee and did not comply with the registration process, so the candidate was not on the interview list on November 28 and was not notified. After completing interview prep for 24 candidates and submitting their scores to the Office of Academic Affairs, I discovered that their information was on the admissions office list and qualified for the exam.

Chen Shiliang said that the candidate did not pay attention to the announcement of the interview and did not find that he was not on the interview list. However, the department immediately contacted the candidate on the day of discovery, considering the time, financial capacity and the distance, and decided the morning of December 1. 10 o’clock via remote video. Three teachers will complete the interview according to the procedure, review your written materials, and grade them. Chen Shiliang emphasized, “The procedures have been supplemented and corrected. I have a clear conscience in public and in private.”

However, according to the “Registration Regulations for Asian University Master’s and Doctoral Programs” and the “Registration Guidelines for the Entrance Examination for Master’s and Doctoral Programs in the 110th Year of Asian University” , the time to organize the candidate for the video interview has exceeded the guidelines During the 4 days.

“Apple” also reads the enrollment guidelines for the master’s and doctoral programs in detail. It is also established in article 17 of item 12 “Other precautions” that even if you have a physical and mental disability (including candidates with reduced mobility), you must also request the entrance exams for each department. The interview is ongoing, but an application can be submitted to the school to provide the necessary assistance. Also, no recovery interviews or video interviews are planned.

A private university professor frankly said: “This is very strange. The recovery interview may be unfair to other candidates due to factors such as leaked questions, and the video interview has never been listened to.” He said that private schools have been enrolled in accordance with the regulations of the Ministry of Education. But regardless of whether the written review and interview are divided into one or two stages, or the admission may be based solely on written information, “it must be based on the admission norms or guidelines.” Other practices not included in the standards must not appear and must be registered The work unit and even the Ministry of Education confirmed that other methods can be adopted: “The situation at the China University of Technology is scandalous this time. It is really necessary have a good academic environment. “

The Admissions Office of the China University of Technology admitted during the investigation of the Department of Higher Education of the Ministry of Education that it was not known in advance that the doctoral program of the Department of Business Management had proactively notified missing candidates and had conducted complementary video interviews. An Apple reporter called and asked the group leader Chen: “Is this reasonable? ??” He also bluntly said “don’t think,” but stressed that he would ask the management department to explain and investigate the incident in detail.

The Higher Education Department of the Ministry of Education emphasized that, in accordance with the “University Law” and the “Key Points for the Review of University Admission Standards”, admission exams must comply with the principles of equity, fairness and openness, and the China University of Applied Sciences should propose fairness and reasonableness on “why you can do an interview” Explain that the Department of Higher Education will also clarify whether the department’s approach has been approved by the admissions committee at the level school and if it affects the rights and interests of the candidates who have failed. After knowing the reasons for the absence of candidates, you should also review the understaffing or registration system.

The admission list for the doctoral program has been verified and confirmed by the candidates themselves. Currently, the school is confirming the admission of the candidates one by one and arranges for the candidates to complement each other according to the situation. The final list of PhD students will be determined before the end of the semester and students will be admitted after the lunar new year. It is possible to request early admission and obtain the credits of the doctoral student to start the course. If there is no advance application, admission will begin in September of the academic year 110.

Recently, there have been controversies about the management of teaching in Asian universities. “Apple” exclusively kicked the school on December 5 to open a non-existent conference under the name of two professors from the University of Science and Technology in July last year. Actually, the wrong message link was posted on the school’s official website. After more than a year, two teachers sent certificates to strangle. On December 13, director Chen Hongren and Chitu Video jointly released a statement accusing Liu Jingwei, a part-time professor at the University of China, who participated in the Red Dot Design Award and won the short film on behalf of school last year. In the Ph.D. exam controversy, a university professor bluntly said: “The academic environment can’t be done like this!” (Reported by Wang Yiche from the local center / Taichung).
