cai rongsheng made in china

to Chinese news reports. A Ministry of Education press officer confirmed to state-run China Central Television that the administrator, Cai Rongsheng, was under

with a fake passport. A university spokesman told the newspaper that Mr. Cai had run into unspecified legal problems but denied that Mr. Cai had attempted to flee.

“What is certain is that Cai Rongsheng was responsible for admissions at a famous university, and his being investigated again shows the problem of corruption in the field of academia,” read a commentary in The Qilu Evening News, a newspaper based in the eastern city of Jinan. “If power doesn’t have any sort of controls, then corruption will become ubiquitous, and the so-called ‘ivory

Last month, authorities began investigating Cai Rongsheng, the head of admissions at Beijing’s elite Renmin University, also for suspected corruption.

Xu Jie, a deputy head of the petitions office, has been sacked for suspected graft issues, while Cai Rongsheng, head of admissions at Beijing’s prestigious Renmin University, is under investigation, in what state media said was related to “corruption cases involving large amounts of money”.

Cai Rongsheng, former head of the university"s admissions office, was detained in Shenzhen, Guangdong province, as he attempted to travel to Canada in November 2013. He was arrested in May last year on charges of taking bribes of over 10 million yuan ($1.6 million) to help secure student enrollments at the university from 2006 to 2013, according to the top anti-graft authority.

Over the past week, the public has been reeling from a barrage of media reports that Cai Rongsheng, head of admissions at the prestigious Renmin University of China, is being investigated for his role in a scandal that involved selling seats in the public university for hefty prices.

The fall of Cai, who reportedly has been detained while trying to flee China with a fake passport, has heightened people"s anticipation of a major clean-up, and a possible domino effect at the university, after inspectors from the Communist Party of China said in late September that they had discovered "weak links" in its financial management, officials" pay and students" recruitment, and received tips on problems related to the institution"s top officials. Such euphemisms bode ill for officials as they often herald formal criminal investigations.

The Ministry of Education revealed recently that it had launched an investigation of Cai, director of the admissions office of Beijing-based Renmin University of China.

The hearing of Cai Rongsheng, former head of the admission office at Beijing-based Renmin University, was held at the intermediate people"s court in Nanjing, capital city of east China"s Jiangsu Province.

Procurators accused Cai of accepting bribes worth 23.3 million yuan (3.64 million U.S. dollars) to help students get enrolled or change majors between 2005 and 2013.

Xu Mei, spokeswoman of the Ministry of Education, said at a news conference in Beijing that Cai Rongsheng, former head of the RUC"s student admission office, was under investigation.

Wang Jian, the deputy secretary of the university"s discipline inspection commission, told the Legal Mirror newspaper on Wednesday that Cai was caught at an immigration check in Shenzhen, Guangdong Province.

The university has required the officials at the level of deputy director or higher to hand over their passports, and insiders with the university said that more people involved with the case will be probed, Caixin magazine reported.

Cai, 48, was also a professor in economics in the university, and was the former or current independent director of at least seven corporations, said Caixin on Thursday.

The power of the faculty administrators should be restrained by regulations and supervised by the public, otherwise it will cause the abuse of power and the embezzlement of public resources as in Cai"s case, Li Qi, a professor of education at the Beijing Normal University, told the Global Times on Thursday.

Renmin University of China will suspend its independent admissions system next year, allegedly due to a recent investigation of its admissions director, Cai Rongsheng, who was accused of involvement in taking multiple kickbacks.
