Several people are checking the public opinions on the Internet about ‘Sohhai University’, ‘teaching researcher’, ‘lecturer with full senior salary’, etc.
Yang Haiyan, the publicity director who is nearly 50 years old, has already felt nervous. When some universities are in the news, hot searches, and criticized on the Internet for certain incidents, she still finds it very interesting and reads it with gusto every time.
Now, it's Xihai University's turn, and my mentality suddenly changes.
In the past two years, the Propaganda Office has also done research on measures to deal with online public opinion, and has asked many people under it to write reports and papers. However, because it has not happened to me, it is just used as a means of research and has not been taken seriously at all.
Not only Yang Haiyan, but no one could have imagined that one day, Xihai University would also become the protagonist of public opinion.
The geographical location of Xihai University is too remote. It is only regarded as a "key" university among domestic universities. It is definitely not a bad university, but it is certainly not a good one.
Mediocrity is always easy to be ignored.
Now Yang Haiyan felt the crisis. She even searched for it and carefully read an article "How to Respond to Public Opinion in Colleges and Universities in the Internet Era", and she felt a little more at ease.
His usual decisiveness was also shown, and he quickly handed over a series of tasks, "Hurry, go to the Academic Affairs Office to check Wang Hao's detailed information and the work agreement with the school."
"Contact President Qu, Dean Luan from the School of Science, Director Zhu from the Academic Affairs Science and Technology Office, Secretary Cai, and also find people from the Human Resources Office..."
Yang Haiyan named a lot of offices in succession, and then said, "We have to have a meeting, and we have to do it quickly! Hurry, everyone moves!"
“If no one answers the phone, just go and look for me!”
Half an hour later.
An impromptu meeting was held in the conference room of the Government Affairs Building, chaired by Vice President Qu Shusheng.
Yang Haiyan talked about the public opinion against Xihai University on the Internet and concluded, "The current public opinion mainly focuses on two points. One is Wang Hao."
"Wang Hao published seven SCI papers in more than a month. Is there anything wrong with his papers? Or are they all normal?"
"This is very important."
Everyone in the conference room looked at Luan Haiping and Zhu Jianrong. Luan Haiping was the dean of the School of Science, and Zhu Jianrong was the director of the Science and Technology Department. They were the two who advocated signing Wang Hao and specially appointed him as a researcher in the Teaching and Research Office of the School of Science.
Zhu Jianrong said seriously, "Vice President Qu, Director Yang, I am very sure that there are no problems with Wang Hao's thesis, and they are all solid results."
"The possibility of fraud and fakery in SCI papers on mathematics and algorithms is very small, not to mention that it is simply impossible for SCI papers in core journals."
"What's more, Wang Hao has two algorithm papers, which have also attracted the attention of major Internet companies at home and abroad. It is said that Abayun offered a high salary and intended to poach Wang Hao's past work."
"These are all on the surface."
Others also expressed their opinions, "I have also read Wang Hao's paper, and there is no problem at all."
"Mathematics and computer papers are all real results. It's impossible to say fake papers on the Internet. They are all fabricated."
"Yes, I dare not say anything else. There must be nothing wrong with Wang Hao's thesis. This can be guaranteed."
Yang Haiyan breathed a sigh of relief. As long as there were no problems with the paper, everything else would not be a big problem.
She looked at Vice Principal Qu Shusheng.
Qu Shusheng nodded to indicate that he could continue, and she continued, "Wang Hao is just one of them. The other is the school's hiring process of Wang Hao. Is it compliant? This is also very important. Even if the paper is a solid result, the school
The hiring process will also be questioned."
This time, Luan Haiping didn't wait to ask questions and said directly, "Of course it's not in compliance with the regulations. A lecturer who has just joined the school and enjoys a high salary as a teaching researcher can immediately tell that it is not in compliance with the regulations and that he is a special appointment."
"The school's announcement said, special appointment, special appointment. Although it is not in compliance with the regulations, the school has the right to make special appointments. Our School of Science also has this right. When we encounter talents, what can we say about special appointments?"
Others discussed it and thought it made sense.
Wang Hao's appointment is definitely illegal, but the school also has the right to "special appointment" for talents, just like college admissions. Of course, there is no problem if you come through the formal college entrance examination, but colleges and universities also have the right to recruit students independently, and they can use competitions
Students with special talents are recruited, and there are even limited direct recruitment quotas for extremely special talents.
If they follow the normal path of qualifications and academic ratings, young scholars will never be able to get ahead.
Others discussed it and felt that what Luan Haiping said made sense. The position of researcher was appointed by the school, just like recruitment by a company. Whoever you want can be hired, and the Education Department has no right to interfere.
The school believes that Wang Hao is a talented person, and it is reasonable for him to be specially appointed and given a high salary.
After discussion, the meeting made two decisions.
One is that the school responded positively to online public opinion, explaining the value of Wang Hao's paper and emphasizing that hiring teaching researchers is the school's right.
The second is to respond to the article "In the era of eradicating thesis-onlyism, some top universities committed crimes", we decided to use formal legal means to protect the reputation of the school, and ordered the author of the article to immediately delete the article and apologize.
After the meeting.
Luan Haiping chatted with several professors and began to worry about Wang Hao.
Xihai University has withstood the pressure of public opinion, but the university is not a person, they are just individuals within it, and will not be greatly affected.
Wang Hao, on the other hand, bears it personally.
Can he bear it?
After a few people discussed it, they simply went to find Wang Hao.
Wang Hao was studying Weibo in the office. He logged in to his account and remembered that his account was also certified and he was also a 'big V', but he only had a few hundred fans, some of whom were former colleagues, classmates, and others.
There are some black fans who paid attention to the last Donggang experiment incident.
The meager certification is still at Donggang University: Lecturer of Donggang University, Ph.D. in Mathematics, Assistant Researcher of Alloy Laboratory.
Seeing a lot of mindless trolls on the Internet, Wang Hao also felt very aggrieved. He wanted to post something, but he didn't think of what to say specifically.
Clarify for yourself?
is that useful?
Moreover, isn't clarifying the same as giving in? Others said a few random words, bowed their heads and clarified that their papers were valuable...
Why!
At this time, Wang Hao received a call from Zhou Qingyuan and asked him to go downstairs.
Luan Haiping and several professors were waiting there, chatted a few words about public opinion, and then began to persuade Wang Hao not to pay too much attention, especially Zhou Qingyuan, who was even more worried.
He saw Wang Hao about to jump off the building last time, and he did it again. He was really afraid that Wang Hao couldn't bear it.
Wang Hao acted very calmly, "Thank you, I'm fine. I read what is said on the Internet. I have always believed that what is true is true, and what is false is false."
"A lot of people on the Internet say they want to find out why I can be a researcher?"
"Check it!"
"My papers are all normal results. What can be found? If my paper is found, how influential is it? It is found that I went to Abayun Group to give a speech? It is found that I am about to participate in STACS?"
He laughed even as he spoke.
Others felt relieved when they saw that Wang Hao's behavior was normal. Just like Wang Hao said, what can be found?
If we really want to check, we can only find out how good Wang Hao is, right?
That’s really interesting!
Wang Hao returned to the office and simply stopped staying. He tidied up and returned home. On the way, he became more and more frustrated as he thought about it. There were so many people on the Internet who mindlessly followed the trend to abuse and slander him.
Post a meager clarification?
Why do we need to clarify? We won’t clarify!
Go home and turn on the computer.
Wang Hao quickly opened his mailbox and found two confirmation receipts for the submission of manuscripts to the journal, as well as a 'paper status' email.
Take a screenshot and save.
Then he logged into his meager account, forwarded the article "How to Respond to Public Opinion in Colleges and Universities in the Internet Era", and added three screenshots.
An additional note: "Seven articles? No, it's too short, it's ten articles. However, two articles have just passed the review, and one is still under review."
