8000名被开除留学生后续报道

关于8000名被开除留学生的最新消息

刚刚过去的NAFSA大会上,美国厚仁教育发布了《2015留美中国学生现状白皮书》,估算得出“去年约8000名在美国的中国留学生被开除,80.55%因学术表现差或学术不诚实”。厚仁教育在白皮书中指出,这些被开除的学生中13.7%来自俄亥俄州立大学哥伦布分校。

随后,俄亥俄州立大学常务副校长兼教务长Joseph E. Steinmetz发表公开信,称该报告的数据不准确,并公布2013-2014和2014-2015学年该校中国留学生被开除的具体数字。

看到公开信后,《留学》杂志作为首家发布厚仁教育白皮书的媒体,第一时间联系到Dr.J,希望他对具体开除数据及原因作进一步解释。今日,《留学》杂志接到Dr.J的邮件回复,全文信息如下。

Joseph E. Steinmetz, PhD, Executive Vice President and Provost, The Ohio State University.

The Ohio State University actively supports and is committed to our 3,800 Chinese students enrolled in undergraduate and graduate programs – and nearly 6,200 international students from over 100 countries.

俄亥俄州立大学为其超过100个国家的6200位国际学生提供积极的帮助,其中包括近3800位就读于本科或研究生阶段的中国留学生。

In response to the recently released WholeRen study, The Ohio State University takes exception to its findings. For clarification, during the 2014-2015 academic year, 1.1 percent of Chinese students enrolled in our undergraduate or graduate programs were dismissed for academic or non-academic performance in comparison to approximately 1.7 percent of their domestic student counterparts during the same timeframe.

俄亥俄州立大学现对厚仁教育的调查结果进行澄清:在2014-2015学年,仅1.1%就读于该校本科或研究生项目的中国学生因学术或非学术表现而被开除的比例,较本土学生约1.7%的开除率来说,并不算高。

The Ohio State University's Student Life Student Conduct Office and the Office of Academic Affairs Committee on Academic Misconduct (COAM) are responsible for the administration of the Code of Student Conduct. The processes that are outlined in the Code of Student Conduct allow for a thorough and expedient review of the unique merits, circumstances and factors of each allegation of misconduct, both academic and non-academic in nature. Formal sanctions that may result after a Student Conduct or Committee on Academic Misconduct process may include a formal reprimand, disciplinary probation, suspension or, in severe cases, dismissal from the university. For cases involving academic misconduct (e.g. plagiarism, cheating, unauthorized collaboration), the Committee on Academic Misconduct may issue a sanction that impacts a student’s academic standing within a course (e.g. grade reduction, failing grade on an assignment, test, or the entire course). Educational sanctions are typically and regularly used in addition to formal sanctions that result from cases of academic and non-academic misconduct.

俄亥俄州立大学学生行为和学术教务委员会违纪处理办公室(COAM)负责学生行为准则及管理。其在规范学生行为的过程中有着自身的独特优势,办公室会对学生违纪情节和不当行为的每一项指控,包括学术和非学术的原因进行彻底且适当的审查。在对违纪行为进行处理后,正式的裁决可能包括正式警告,留校察看,暂停学业,最严重的则是彻底从学校开除。对于涉及学术不端行为(如:抄袭,作弊,未经授权的合作),委员会则可能会对学生的某一门课程进行惩罚(如:降级,作业、测验、整门课程不予通过)。教育处罚是委员会就造成学术和非学术不端案件进行裁决时较常用的处理方式。

If a student is permanently dismissed, university resources are no longer available. Periods of suspension may involve one or more semesters and conditions for re-enrollment may be required. It is important to note that not all students who go through a Student Conduct or Committee on Academic Misconduct process are found in violation, but all cases are investigated and resolved.

如果学生被永久开除,则他不能再使用大学资源。停课周期可能长达一个或多个学期,而此后若该学生要复学,可能需要他重新注册。需要注意的是,并非所有被学生行为委员会或学术委员会审查的学生都会发现有违纪行为,但所有案件必须进行调查并解决。

The federal Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) prohibits us from sharing specific details about disciplinary actions resulting from instances of student misconduct.

联邦家庭教育权利和隐私法案(FERPA)禁止学校披露有关学生不端行为及相关违纪举动的具体细节。

留学君说

中国人常说,大学毕业了就要进入社会了。但在美国,进入了大学其实等同于进入了社会。读了俄亥俄州立大学副校长约瑟夫·斯坦梅茨博士的信后,留学君更是对此坚信不疑。

其实无论是美国厚仁发布的白皮书的数据也好,俄亥俄州立大学官方数据也好,两者的调查方式不同,范围不同,不具可比性。然而这些数字可以告诉我们一件事,就是去美国上学不是闹着玩的。

年纪跟留学君差不多大的80后读者或许还记得一部名为《闻香识女人》(Scent of a Woman) 的电影,这部片子给留学君最深的印象除了艾尔帕西诺的强大演技以外,就是美国学校会为了一场恶作剧召开类似于法庭的听证会。校长虽然对做恶作剧的三人组心知肚明,但仍需要证人的证词来对其三人进行指控,而主人公却因为不想出卖同学而面临被开除的境况。

听证会,似乎离中国学生是很遥远的事情,但实际上,中国学生可能仅仅因为一次测验抄小条就要上学校组织的听证会。

在中国,可能只是被叫到教导处被批评的小事,到了美国很可能被开除。所以去美国前,中国学生一定要了解美国大学的荣誉制度(Honor Code)

美国大学新生报到的第一件事是做入校培训(Orientation),而其中最为重要的一项就是宣讲学生荣誉守则(Honor Code)。荣誉制度是美国大学生对学校的一种承诺制度,也是一种独特的学生自我约束和自我管理的制度。其实质是信任学生的道德意识和责任感,让学生在考试、课外作业、校园生活等方面进行自我管理。
