Yesterday, this newspaper reported that Dickson State University in North Dakota, USA, was exposed as having an "extreme lack of control and supervision". The university admitted hundreds of foreign students who did not meet the admission qualifications and awarded degrees without completing the courses. This morning, a reporter from the "Legal Evening News" learned from the University of North Dakota System, which released the review report, that among the 27 new Chinese students admitted to Dickson State University this spring, 21 "their English proficiency does not meet the required level, and these students will be sent back home." Doug Plante, dean of the school's School of Education, Business and Applied Sciences, has committed suicide.

How to deal with the majority of unqualified students' degrees that have been revoked. William Z, the director of the North Dakota University System, said that currently, most of the unqualified students' degrees have been revoked, but they will still have the opportunity to obtain qualified degrees. The University of North Dakota system manages six four-year colleges and five two-year colleges, with a total of approximately 49,000 students. The review noted that Dickson State University could face penalties from multiple sources, including the U.S. Department of State, the Department of Education, the Department of Homeland Security and the Higher Education Commission, a Chicago-based accrediting agency, for violating student visa regulations. This morning, John Hausaman, the relevant person in charge of the American Higher Education Commission, said in an interview with a reporter from the Legal Evening News that the commission has contacted the school and will continue to monitor the school’s progress in handling the matter. 95% of those participating in the school's dual-degree program are Chinese. The operation method of Dickson State University's dual-degree program requires students to first study at a domestic school, then come to North Dakota to study for a year, and then return to the domestic school to complete the degree. The review report shows that the school does not even have the transcripts of most students from domestic schools, and they can obtain a degree from Dickson State University after just one year of schooling. In addition, the report states, students were promised that they could earn a degree from Dickson State before completing their studies at home, which also violated the terms of the dual-degree program. William Ts said that Dickson State University has signed agreements with 127 international schools to grant dual degrees to its students. Many of these agreements were not properly registered with the university office, and there was no specific implementation plan in the agreement. The University System of North Dakota recommended that the school cancel all agreements and end cooperation with externally recruiting students. The review report mainly involves students who entered the school after 2003, and the cooperation involved is mainly double degree projects. 95% of the students participating in the dual degree program are Chinese, and the remaining 5% are Russian. Dickson State University is a public comprehensive university located in Dickson, North Dakota, United States. Currently, the school has about 2,700 undergraduates. There are 8 students enrolled in Capital University of Economics and Business in Beijing. The reporter learned from Capital University of Economics and Business, which has a cooperative project with Dickson State University, that there are currently 8 students in the school who are still studying at Dickson State University. The school has contacted them, and relevant leaders of Capital University of Economics and Trade have also contacted Dickson State University to ensure that the interests of students are protected. According to the relevant person in charge of the Capital Economic and Trade Publicity Department, Dickson State University is an American school recognized by the Ministry of Education of my country, and the school qualifications have also undergone strict assessment. It is reported that this year is the second year of cooperation between Beijing Economic and Trade University and Dickson State University. A total of more than a dozen students have gone to Dickson State University to study, and the first batch of them has returned to school. The Ministry of Education has contacted the Embassy in the United States and is verifying the situation. The reporter learned from the Ministry of Education that Dickson State University is indeed on the list of regular American universities announced by the Ministry of Education and officially certified by the United States. In the morning, our reporter learned from the Ministry of Education that the relevant departments of the Ministry of Education have contacted the Education Section of the Embassy in the United States and are investigating the matter. The department said it has not yet confirmed the accuracy of the online information and is verifying it. If confirmed, the education foreign-related supervision department of the Ministry of Education will take corresponding measures. In addition, if Chinese students who have been admitted to this school have specific questions, they can contact the Education Section (Group) of the Embassy in the United States for consultation. The Ministry of Education’s foreign-related supervision information website provides consultation contact information for the Education Office of the Embassy in the United States.
