Tsinghua Univ. to recruit 134 int'l teachers
China's prestigious Tsinghua University will recruit 134 teachers worldwide, the Beijing News reported here Sunday.
Tsinghua will recruit 49 professors or researchers and 85 associate professors and researchers, the paper quoted the sources from the University as saying.
"We will strictly verify recommendation letters, theses and other related information submitted by applicants to root out academic fraud," said an official in charge of personnel affairs of the university.
Tsinghua required the applicants from out of Tsinghua to submit at least five theses, and overseas applicants to submit at least three recommendation letters.
In March 2006, Liu Hui, a professor was removed from his post for fabricating his academic achievements and work experience.
Currently, Tsinghua encourages professors and associate professors from both in and out of Tsinghua to compete for the academic posts available each year as part of its reforms of existing teachers' employment system.
The recruitment will be terminated on October 10 and the final results will be unveiled by the end of December, university sources said.
