Educational background events
20 1 July1Sunday at 8: 20 pm, Fang Fang, a popular science writer who founded Chinese website and the first academic anti-counterfeiting website, repeatedly posted 2 1 records in his Weibo, pointing his finger at Tang Jun, president and CEO of Xinhuadu Group, a famous "working emperor". Academic photos provided by Tang Jun [1] In this series of Weibo, Fang raised many questions about Tang Jun's personal education, study and work experience revealed in My Success Can be Replicated, and produced some verification evidence, asking, "Tang Jun's' doctorate degree in California Institute of Technology' is fake, how can it be faked?" Fang went on to suspect that Pacific Western University, where Tang Jun studied in the United States, "is a famous diploma workshop selling diplomas. This school is registered in Hawaii and has not been certified by an American certification body. "
As Tang Jun's "academic fraud" storm intensifies, many companies such as Microsoft, Shanda and Xinhuadu, where he once worked, may also be "implicated". Among them, Tang Jun Education mentioned in Shanda's prospectus has become the focus of attention. To Tang Jun's surprise, his alma mater quickly became an online hot word yesterday-this American university, which was called "diploma workshop" by netizens, was turned out by netizens to have a large number of doctoral graduates. Managers of many domestic state-owned enterprises and institutions are impressively listed.
