Yesterday, this newspaper has been tracking the incident in which the reporter attacked Tang Jun's "educational background" (see AII8 website on July 5 and yesterday). The incident showed a dramatic trend-Tang Jun sent the media a copy of the certificate of pacific western university, USA, where he received his doctorate, and admitted that it was a "third-or fourth-rate university", but it could prove his true educational background.

What Tang Jun didn't expect was that his alma mater quickly became an online hot word yesterday-this American university, which was called "diploma factory" by netizens, was overturned by netizens with a large number of doctoral graduates. Managers of many domestic state-owned enterprises and institutions are impressively listed.

The initiator of this incident is still determined. Yesterday, he said in Weibo that "Tang Jun lied in front of the whole country". He even appeared bluntly. He revealed that Tang Jun's academic fraud was not because he was jealous of his success, but just to expose the truth.

On the internet, Tang Jun's "education gate" incident has intensified. Not only "Tang Jun", "diploma" and "education gate" have become hot words in online search, but some netizens have also quickly established an encyclopedia entry of "education gate".

Tang Jun's "seal" will "go its own way"

In his own Weibo, Tang Jun issued a statement, and the matter will be sealed after the response. On July 6th, 17: 29, he posted a Weibo saying: "I spoke with several' friends' on the phone today, and I have said everything I need to say and seen everything I need to see. I feel very relaxed! I will not be a "friend" tomorrow. Today I want to be a "friend" ... tomorrow I will go my own way. " According to the reporter's understanding to the insider, the "friend" here refers to answering the reporter's questions, and Tang Jun intends not to answer the incident again.

About three hours later, Tang Jun released Weibo again, saying, "First, a doctor will be printed on my business card in the future. Second, the law will make those who fabricate facts and frame others pay the price now and in the future. Third, I am still me, and nothing has changed. A Tang Jun who goes his own way will start your own way tomorrow ... I'm a little bored recently, but I won't be bored tomorrow ... "

However, compared with Tang Jun's "post-seal", the majority of netizens paid more attention to the incident. Because Fang confirmed that Tang Jun graduated from pacific western university (pacific western university, USA), he pointed out: "According to a survey conducted by the US General Accounting Office (Gao) in 2004, the buying and selling price of Tang Jun's alma mater, pacific western university, is as follows: bachelor's degree, 2295 US dollars; Master, $2,395; Doctor, $2,595. Pay in one lump sum. "

Tang Jun previously said in his response that he obtained his degree at the California branch of the school, but Fang Zhouzi stole the concept and thought that he was at the Hawaii branch. The Hawaii branch has been dissolved, and the California branch is still running, and many celebrities have graduated from it.

According to the information inquired by our reporter on Wikipedia, this American university named Pacific Western University does have two campuses in Hawaii and California, but as early as 2004, it was investigated by the US General Accounting Office for fraudulent activities such as buying and selling degrees. In 2002, Hawaii began to take legal action against 66 unauthorized schools, including Pacific Western University (Hawaii), which closed four years later (2006).

On the other hand, Pacific Western University (California) was sold to a new owner in 2004 and has been operated by a new department since 2004. According to the information on Wikipedia, from March to April, 2007, pacific western university, California changed its name to Miramar University, California, and began to seek national degree certification. According to the website of miramar University in California, it is now a school based on "distance education and classroom guidance", and the highest degree awarded is a master's degree. Even so, it was not until 2009 that the university was awarded a degree by the US Department of Education.

Netizens gathered to investigate Pacific Western University.

So, what kind of school is this pacific western university? Yesterday, our reporter asked the heads of many study abroad agencies in Guangzhou, but they all said that they had never heard of the school. "What is certain is that it is definitely not a prestigious school." A person in charge of the overseas department of Guangzhou Overseas Students Service Center said. After consulting the list of regular universities in countries where China citizens mainly study, which was updated by the Ministry of Education on June 6 this year, he told reporters that this university is not on the list of the United States.

"The American education system is different from ours. As long as you can recruit students, it is not difficult to start a private university, and many of them are still not recognized by the US Department of Education. Therefore, we often remind international students and parents that if they are not called' universities', they must be better than' colleges'. It is not easy for us to judge whether these colleges are formal in China, but we accidentally went to the' Pheasant School'. " He said.

Yesterday, this once unknown "Pacific Western University" quickly became a hot word for netizens to launch human flesh search. Many netizens pointed out that this is a "pheasant school" after investigation.

Interestingly, yesterday morning, a list of four doctoral degrees in business administration provided by China Pacific Western University quickly appeared on the Internet, including the name, gender, work unit and position of each graduate. Attentive netizens found that there are hundreds of people on this list, including managers, lawyers, civil servants and even employees from the media of many domestic state-owned enterprises and institutions. The netizen who showed the list joked: "Tang Jun's degree program brought out a group of unlucky alumni, and now General Tang has harmed all his alumni."

Among them, the most striking is Jin Jinyong, Chairman of the Board of Directors of China Times Investment Group. Yesterday, he sent a Weibo to support Tang Jun, saying that Pacific Western University is a regular private university: "I prove that Tang Jun does not have the theory of academic fraud; The official documents of the China Municipal Government are now provided for the record; Pacific Western University is a private regular university approved by the US government and certified by educational institutions in China, and the doctoral degree awarded is true, legal and effective; Some people with ulterior motives fabricated facts and slandered their fake degrees in diploma mill, and should be investigated by law. I reserve the right to provide Tang Jun's complete set of official government documents to the court. "

Immediately after sending an Weibo, some netizens inquired that Yu Jinyong's doctorate came from pacific western university, USA, and he was also one of Tang Jun's alumni.

The reporter then saw the document released by Yu Jinyong in Weibo, which showed that the certificate issued by the Education Office of the Chinese Consulate General in Los Angeles showed that Pacific Western University was qualified to award bachelor's degree, master's degree and doctor's degree in business administration, but its school license was valid from June 15, 2002 to June 14, 2006. Some netizens immediately questioned that this certificate had nothing to do with Tang Jun, because the time when Tang Jun got his doctorate was around 1996, and his doctorate was not a major in business administration.

Some netizens specially registered the user name of "West Pacific Alumni Association" on Weibo as a joke.

Fang Zhouzi, who has been holding high the banner of counterfeiting, continued to update Weibo yesterday. In view of the fact that Tang Jun said that the paper version of his book My Success Can be Replicated didn't mention that he had obtained a doctorate from California Institute of Technology, Fang showed a scanned copy of the first edition of the book, which showed this statement. "Tang Jun can ask Dangdang to delete the electronic version of my success that can be copied. He can ask the CCTV host to take back the sentence' Dangdang's electronic version does say that you are a doctor of California Institute of Technology'? Can all the first printed copies of the paper version of the book be recovered and destroyed? "

Fang: I despise fake academic qualifications.

Yesterday, when Fang Zhouzi appeared to communicate with netizens, he countered a considerable number of views that he was jealous of Tang Jun's success: "I don't think he is more successful than me. I won't be jealous of a truly successful person, let alone a person who has to falsify his resume. " He even lamented: "This society is not normal. The counterfeiters are embarrassed and there are countless supporters, but the counterfeiters will be attacked. "

As for the netizen's question, "Have you brutally shredded the dreams of many migrant workers?" Fang immediately asked: "It is the dream of many migrant workers. How to make fakes?"

Some netizens also believe that as long as they are competent for the job, what education and resume are not important. Fang insisted, "if you really don't think education and resume are important, why do you have to make one?" ? I don't think education is the most important thing. I will never look down on Bill Gates and Li Ka-shing because of their low academic qualifications. What should be despised is fake academic qualifications, not low academic qualifications. "

With the introduction of Tang Jun's positive response, it seems that the "education gate" incident on the Internet should come to an end, but at this time when traditional media have joined the reporting camp, the debate on this incident on the Internet has intensified. Many netizens call themselves "Fang Ting School" and "Tang Ting School", and they have had more and more in-depth discussions in Weibo and many forums.

Some netizens said that when Tang Jun fell, there were more hypocrites.
