Chapter 105: Results
The president relayed Principal Yan's meaning in his own words, and there were two sentences in which Principal Yan's original words: The nature is very serious, and the impact is very bad. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
The ranking incident did not cause any substantial loss to HKUST, as I said before, the level and social status of HKUST are here, and no company really compares with HKUST.
However, the more this is the case, the more President Yan believes that the more we should cherish the reputation of HKUST.
Decades and generations of struggle have led to the creation of today's HKUST, and to destroy the reputation of HKUST is, in a sense, to destroy the foundation of a university.
Why won't these companies be more serious? A very simple reason is that people don't know that this ranking is privately concocted by a few people for some special purposes, and the ranking appears on the official student forum of the University of Science and Technology, and the initiator is the student union of the official organization of the University of Science and Technology, so in the eyes of outsiders, this ranking is the official issue of the University of Science and Technology.
At least it's officially recognized by HKUST!
That's the problem.
The mathematical model used in the rankings has been proven to have major loopholes and deviations, but is it true that HKUST, a top university in the country, is only at this level? Even a few mathematics majors can see the problem, but the University of Science and Technology officials can't find it?
Is it a matter of attitude, or is it a matter of ability?
Either there are major deficiencies in HKUST's academic capabilities, or the University's research attitude is very sloppy and not rigorous.
Whatever the reason, it is to smear the brand of the top universities in China and the world-class universities of HKUST!
Of course, there is an even worse possibility: academic corruption at HKUST.
Just like the rumors on the Internet, some people may have accepted the benefits of some of these companies and deliberately used the platform of HKUST to promote them under the sign of HKUST, or some institutions of HKUST used this ranking to blackmail enterprises and tilt resources towards HKUST on employment and other issues.
At present, it seems that there are not a few people who hold the latter 'conspiracy' theory. Otherwise, how to explain that a mere ranking can spread on a large scale on the Internet in a short period of time, causing a huge impression?
Obviously, there is a promoter behind it, and there is a backstage.
If the conspiracy theory is true, then the leadership of the University of Science and Technology must be responsible, at worst, it is a management problem, and in the worst case, it is political responsibility!
Principal Yan's meaning is very clear, no matter who comes up with this ranking list for dissemination, it must be dealt with, and the handling is based on two principles: fairness and openness.
The meaning of disclosure is clear, and the process and results are transparent and open.
The meaning of justice is deeper.
Whatever responsibility should be assumed.
That is, because the perpetrator is a member of the University of Science and Technology, the University of Science and Technology will provide shelter, but it cannot be forced to put a hat on others and splash dirty water because of public opinion on the Internet.
Technical mistakes can be made, and the University of Science and Technology absolutely does not recognize the pot of conspiracy theories.
……
"Hey, I personally believe that our colleagues and students in the student union were also kind at the beginning, wanting to provide a career reference for HKUST students. No one expected it to be like this. ”
The president's tone slowed down slightly, and he squeezed out a smile: "Fortunately, I explained it clearly to the school leaders, and the school absolutely believes that there is no benefit transfer here." It's just some technical mistakes. So let's take a look, how is this matter more appropriate?"
After speaking, he looked at everyone calmly.
Everyone didn't squeak, but the initiator of the incident, Chang Jie, the vice president of the student union, couldn't help but squeak.
Asking how to deal with it, and then asking everyone on the surface, is actually asking him, depending on his own attitude.
This is somewhat similar to being lenient in confession and strict in resisting, and if some people still have an attitude of confrontation with the organization, then the organization will not spare it.
Chang Jie took the initiative to stand up, nodded slightly to the chairman, and then swept his eyes across the audience, and said, "I'll speak first." This ranking, just like the school survey and what the president just said, is that my personal academic level is not enough, I am too impatient, and I want to rush to achieve results in a short time, which leads to the unscientific and unrigorous ranking of the school! It has brought huge damage to the reputation of the school and seriously affected the daily work of the student union. Here, I take the initiative to review my mistakes!"
After speaking, he bowed to everyone.
After returning to the dormitory from Principal Peng's office yesterday, Chang Jie really realized the seriousness of the incident from those letters and the headline of the principal's email.
I was anxious all day, and I didn't fall asleep until midnight.
After all, after a few years of training in the student union, Chang Jie's psychological quality is much higher than that of college students of the same age, and in the dead of night, his mind gradually cleared up.
Even if the principal asks, it means that the school will definitely deal with it. Rather than denying it in every possible way to arouse the disgust of the school, it is better to 'honestly confess', cooperate with the school's investigation and handling, and put on a heart-wrenching attitude to win sympathy.
During the day, Vice President Peng was furious, and he was caught off guard, and he was actually frightened. Calm down and think about it carefully, as long as you firmly bite the death because your 'academic level' is not enough, the handling will not be very serious.
This matter, it is not illegal, not even school rules and discipline.
Hold on, a demerit.
If it had been placed in the past, the demerit punishment would have been left in the file, and it would have been enough for Chang Jie to be uncomfortable. However, compared to the project of 'making a lot of money' that he has been secretly preparing for the future, this small punishment is nothing at all.
"Classmate Chang Jie, don't blame yourself too much, no one thought that you would do something bad with good intentions. After all, he is a member of the student union, and he still tries his best to whitewash Chang Jie, and also for the sake of the reputation of the student union.
A student officer suddenly said, "Chang Jie, I'm afraid it's not enough to just apologize, right? ”
Ma Kaizhi has been watching from the sidelines, and he was quite surprised to see this person making it difficult.
Not only Ma Kaizhi was surprised, but many people present who knew the relationship between this officer and Chang Jie were very surprised.
This officer, who usually has a very good personal relationship with Chang Jie, is considered a 'Chang faction' in the student union, but he didn't expect to make trouble at this time, and it was really a wall that everyone pushed down.
Looking at Chang Jie, who betrayed his relatives, some people's eyes were a little sympathetic.
"Hey, you're right. Chang Jie himself nodded in frustration and said: "In order to clarify the truth of the incident and maintain the reputation of the school, I will use my own name to publish an apology statement on the Internet, and ...... another."
After a pause, he seemed to have a lot of courage before he said, "In addition, I ask to resign from my job as vice president of the student union and quit my work in the student union." ”
