Recently, the most popular topic of people's livelihood in my country is medical anti-corruptionThe regulatory authorities have expressed their determination to fight corruption in the medical sector three times in a row, and the domestic anti-corruption storm has escalated again, with nearly 200 hospital presidents and secretaries investigated and punished this year. Institutions of higher learning, which are the hardest hit areas of academic corruption, are increasingly corrupt, and it is time to carry out the anti-corruption struggle in colleges and universities in depth. The vast number of teachers and students in colleges and universities believe that the sacred cause of education brooks no defilement, and that failure to severely punish "bad teachers" who have no virtue will surely chill the hearts of good teachers. Therefore, relevant experts believe that academic corruption is the biggest problem facing institutions of higher learning.

Recently, China's Ministry of Education issued the "Notice on Promoting the Access and Inquiry of Faculty and Staff";The notice aims to further strengthen the construction of teachers' ethics and style, and "zero tolerance" for teachers' ethics violations. In recent years, although certain achievements have been made in the anti-corruption work of China's colleges and universities, typical cases have occurred from time to time, and it is still necessary to increase the intensity and depth of the crackdown in order to thoroughly investigate and deal with violations of discipline and law and corruption in colleges and universities, and to achieve the anti-corruption effect of drawing salaries from the bottom of the kettle, demonstrating China's attitude and determination to control corruption in colleges and universities. Among the university cases, the more typical ones are:

Du Benwei, former secretary of the Party Committee of Liaoning Dongbei University of Finance and Economics, was suspected of being the first and engaged in power, money, and sex, causing the country to suffer major property losses. The Liaoning Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection and Supervision conducted a case review and investigation on Du Benwei's serious violations of discipline and lawAfter investigation, he lost his ideals and beliefs, betrayed his original mission, resisted organizational review, accepted gifts in violation of regulations, and engaged in power, money, and sex transactionsand transfer the issue of the suspected crime to the procuratorate for review and prosecution in accordance with law. The Shenyang City People's Procuratorate recently made a decision to arrest Du Benwei in accordance with the law.

Li Xiaolian, former president of Xi'an University of Technology and former deputy secretary of the Party Committee, is suspected of serious violations of discipline and law, and is currently undergoing disciplinary review and supervision investigation by the Shaanxi Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection and Supervision. Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, it is not the first time that a cadre of the school has been placed on file for investigation, and Li Xiaolian is already the second principal to be investigated or dealt with for disciplinary violations. In March 2015, the Shaanxi Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection opened a case for investigation into Liu Ding, president of Xi'an University of Technology and deputy secretary of the Party Committee, on suspicion of violating discipline and removed him from his post.

Xia Jimei, the former director of the Foreign Language Teaching Center of Sun Yat-sen University in Guangdong, together with Wang Zhe, the former secretary of the party branch, and others, wantonly falsified and deceived fame and fortune when applying for the "National Excellent Course" (undergraduate).This matter was publicly exposed by Guo Yidun, a translation expert at the school, under his real name, causing a sensation at home and abroad. Xia Jimei got the nickname of "Xia Liar" because of this;The social impact of this incident is extremely bad. At present, "summer deception" has become synonymous with academic fraudsters, and it has a special meaning.

All of the above-mentioned corruption scandals are related to fame and status. Under the atmosphere of "everything is looking at money", the current campus exudes a copper stench of corruption, rather than a strong academic atmosphere;Not only misleading people's children, but also misleading the country and the people. What's even more sad is that many principals, secretaries, and professors who are known as teachers have not only become the best in the academic world, becoming famous for plagiarism, but also hooking up with female students and fishing for black gold everywhere.

To be a law-abiding person, to stay away from corruption, to defeat corruption, to treat fame and fortune correctly, always adhere to the heart of contentment to treat fame and fortune, to treat work with a heart of discontentment, to look down on the gains and losses of fame and fortune, not to be burdened by fame and fortune, to look down on the pursuit of material desires, not to be confused by material desires. We must always keep a clear head, always sound the alarm bell, always have a heart of self-discipline, always think about the harm of greed, and be pure in heart, clean hands and feet, and always pure.

There is no ambition without indifference, and there is no far-reaching ambition without tranquility. Everyone has the heart of fame and fortune, the key is how to deal with it, if you can't treat it with a calm and indifferent heart, you will "draw the ground as a prison", and you will become a prisoner under the shackles of fame and fortune. On the road of the never-ending anti-corruption struggle, party members and cadres in colleges and universities should always be in awe, tighten their vigilance, and be self-reliant, forge a strong line of defense against corruption, not be corrupt, and do not want to be corrupt, always maintain a sober attitude of "rushing for the examination", and truly ensure that power is used by the people and benefits are sought by the people.

Corruption scandals are also related to "umbrellas" and "networks". It is necessary to take the cracking of umbrellas and the breaking of the net as one of the main directions of attack to deal with corruption in colleges and universitiesFirst of all, it is necessary to accurately grasp the boundaries of policies and laws, so that the identification and disposal are accurate, and continuously improving the quality and efficiency of case investigation and handling is an important part of the work of breaking the umbrella and breaking the net. Secondly, it is necessary to conduct in-depth research and guidance, discover new problems, study new situations, explore new ideas, seek new methods, and continuously deepen the work of normalizing umbrella and breaking the net. Thirdly, it is necessary to "veto" academic corruption with one vote and include it in the credit "blacklist";Those suspected of violating the law shall be transferred to the judicial organs for handling.

Persist in investigating to the end, never tolerate, and dig deep and carefully investigate the "protective umbrella" and "relationship network" behind corruption in colleges and universities. Because the "protective umbrella" and "relationship network" have become more and more solid in the course of consolidating and developing the corrupt forces, the corrupt forces in colleges and universities have colluded with certain corrupt phenomena in society and are in collusion. Therefore, the fight against corruption and clean government is not overnight, but must be unremitting and persistentOnly by resolutely punishing violations of discipline, law, and corruption with a "zero tolerance" attitude can we restore a clean sky and a clean and healthy atmosphere in China's colleges and universities.

The phenomenon of corruption in China's colleges and universities, as well as its "protective umbrella" and "network", are cancers that erode educational integrity and academic health. In order to eliminate this cancer, it is necessary to strictly abide by and enforce the system of teachers' ethics and work style, and deal with corruption in colleges and universities and their "protective umbrellas" and "relationship networks" with heavy blows. It is necessary not only to punish the corrupt and to revoke the titles (positions) they have received and all the honors they have received as a result, but also to severely punish those who act as "protective umbrellas" and "networks" for them.

Almost all colleges and universities in China have leaders and teachers who are suspected of academic corruption. However, it is sad that such a thing can exist for so long and has not been effective**. These criminals can even falsify academics, can such people still be expected to use them to train excellent students?

From some perspectives, this problem is even more harmful to society than many corrupt elements, because they harm students, that is, they damage our future, which is an indisputable fact. As far as academic corruption is concerned, it is not only a pollution of students' minds, but also an annihilation of social conscience. The essence of academic corruption is self-deception and stealing the bell, which is the sorrow of the academic community and the sorrow of human natureWe must get rid of them and give the higher education system a clear and bright atmosphere.

As the hardest hit area of academic corruption, colleges and universities must resolutely cut off the corruption of faculty and staff, especially party members and cadres, and must severely punish all kinds of corruption with a "zero tolerance" attitude. After all, colleges and universities are an important position for cultivating and cultivating the country's future talents, and if this position is damaged by pollution, it will be a great blow to the great cause in the future.
