Later, several relationships had occurred on the grounds of failing the exam.

The harassment incidents in 2018 are so intensive. Which colleges and universities have had similar scandals in 2017?
In the early morning of December 20, 2017, Nanchang University official Weibo released: On the afternoon of December 18, the school received a written report material from a girl entrusted a third party to send it, saying that Zhou Bin, vice dean of the National College of Nanchang University, sexually assaulted a female student.

If the verified is true, the school will deal with it seriously and will never tolerate it.
Nanchang University Vice Dean Zhou Bin
On the afternoon of December 20, Nanchang University’s special meeting decided to remove Cheng Jinshui from the position of dean of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and Zhou Bin from the position of deputy dean of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and suspend Zhou Bin from the position of deputy dean of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and suspend all teaching and scientific research work to ensure normal educational and teaching order and educational environment.
On July 7, 2017, "Voice of Feminism" posted a message on Weibo to call on everyone to pay attention to the campus sexual harassment incident at UST .

In addition to the harassment incident, which universities have had academic scandals in 2017?
Domestic:
. The number of fake units and people: International journals withdrew 107 Chinese scholar papers
On April 21, 2017, 107 retracted articles in the international journal "Tumor Biology", most of the authors came from China because the authors of these papers provided false review opinions. We had intercepted the information on withdrawals, three days in advance. On April 18, Wang Chunfa, Secretary of the China Association for Science and Technology, met with An Nuojie, President of the journal's boss, Springer Nature Publishing Group, in Beijing on behalf of us, pointing out that the publisher also has the responsibility for the withdrawal incident, but the words are there in black and white. If his child makes a mistake, he cannot be cleared. He still has to accept criticism and spank.
This time the paper was withdrawn, mainly affiliated hospitals of universities, and some ordinary universities are also on the list, with a total of 77 units.
. The first grade of fake journal: Han Chunyu withdrawal incident
In 2016, the world's top journal Nature Biotechnology published an academic paper by Han Chunyu, an unknown associate professor at Hebei University of Science and Technology. This paper first received widespread praise in the Chinese biological community. Many scientific people believe that "our system should support more scholars who are interested in research and can endure loneliness." Unexpectedly, the painting style suddenly changed. On May 20, 2016, Yan Ning, formerly a famous professor of structural biology at Tsinghua University, first raised the question of the reproducibility of the paper results on Weibo. Subsequently, the topics of "Unknown Space", "Baidu", and "Zhihu" about "Han Chunyu's paper cannot be repeated", and the roar of doubts began to rise one after another, but Han Chunyu was reluctant to respond to "questions". After that, Han Chunyu chose to remain silent, but the controversy never stopped. . . . . .
On August 2, 2017, the three words "Han Chunyu" returned to the public's sight again. Han Chunyu and five other authors published an online withdrawal statement in the journal Nature-Biotechnology, saying, "Because the scientific research community has been unable to repeat the key results in Figure 4 of the paper with the experimental schemes provided in our paper, we decided to withdraw our research." On the same day Han Chunyu issued the withdrawal statement, Nature-Biotech published an editorial titled "Time for the data to speak." The article pointed out: "We are now convinced that Han Chunyu and colleagues' decision to withdraw the paper is the best way to maintain the integrity of published scientific research records." Finally, this hot potato was thrown away.
. The first amount of fraud is to cheat: Tianjin University professors cheated 260 million
In 2012, Wang Zengliang, a businessman from Handan, Hebei, spent 260 million yuan. The School of Chemical Engineering of Tianjin University issued technology and designated technology holders Professor Zhang Weijiang and Dr. Xu Jiao as project contacts to cooperate in the production of boron isotope products. Four years later, he accidentally learned in a lawsuit that Tianjin University had long argued that Zhang Weijiang's "project technology is not yet mature and does not have sufficient conditions for industrialization of results." However, a year later, when he applied for funds from the Hebei Provincial Government, Tianjin University issued a completely opposite document, saying that "the pilot project has been completed in the school, and industrialization experiments, product applications and downstream product research and development are now carried out." After detailed investigation and confirming that he was cheated, Wang Zengliang has been traveling between Handan and Tianjin in the past year, but he has been futile again and again.
June 5, 2017 Professor Zhang Weijiang of Tianjin University told reporters on the phone that media reports cannot only listen to one side of the word. However, he refused to explain the matter and asked the reporter to contact the publicity department of Tianjin University. A person in charge of the publicity department of Tianjin University said that this matter is undergoing legal procedures and it is not convenient to accept interviews for the time being. On June 27, 2017, Wang Zengliang exposed to the media that Tianjin University had cheated 260 million yuan in technology fraud, causing him to almost lose everything.
. The severity of corruption sentence: Professor of the University of Petroleum was sentenced to 11 and a half years in prison
Professor Wang Xinhai, as the head of the scientific research project, obtained more than 5.76 million yuan of scientific research funds alone or in collusion with others, and took more than 3.23 million yuan of them for his own possession; Professor Wang did not forget to dig the well when he drank water, and in order to thank others for his help in mobilizing work and obtaining scientific research projects, he bribed 500,000 yuan. The ivory towers of colleges and universities are not as pure as the outside world imagines. In addition to technical factors, the relationship between projects is not strong enough to determine whether you can get funding for scientific research projects. After all, there are too many monks and too little porridge, and so many young teachers are hungry. If you are honored to get funding, but don’t know how to give up and thank others for their help, then there will be no future in the future. The anti-corruption storm in colleges and universities is far from coming!
. Plagiarism level and impact first: Dean of Xiamen University plagiarizes student papers
Cai Jianchun, executive vice president of the School of Medicine of Xiamen University and director of Zhongshan Hospital Affiliated to Xiamen University, was reported: His doctoral thesis from Xiamen University is suspected of plagiarizing student papers, and nearly half of the main text is similar to a student's graduation thesis, and even acknowledgements are copied. As early as March 2017, someone revealed on Weibo that Cai Jianchun was suspected of plagiarism, but it was not until July 14 that Xiamen University responded that "an investigation is underway." On August 10, Xiamen University responded that the plagiarism of the dean's doctoral thesis was an academic misconduct and did not constitute plagiarism. What do you think of this?
