Nantou County Mayor Xu Shuhua was accused of plagiarism in her master’s thesis before the 9-in-1 election in October last year. Xu responded at the time that she was “confident in her thesis” and sent a letter to Feng Chia University asking for an investigation. The school’s approval committee meeting deliberated and determined that Xu’s thesis involved improper citations, and requested to make corrections within the time limit. Feng Chia University confirmed yesterday (January 31) that the revised thesis submitted by Xu has passed the review, and it is confirmed that he will keep his master’s degree. This news sparked heated discussions. A large number of netizens were very happy to hear the result, and many people were even more bitter and “crying in the green camp”.
Feng Chia University stated yesterday that after deliberation, it was judged that the thesis should belong to Xu Shuhua’s original work. Her revised thesis was received on January 13 this year, and the thesis has passed the review process in accordance with the regulations of the School’s Academic Ethics Association. Before the Lunar New Year holiday The in-house trial has been completed and sent to the school library. Because the school is still on vacation, after the school staff go to work on February 1, it will be uploaded to the National Library according to the normal procedure.
In this regard, Xu Shuhua said that after she was elected as the magistrate of Nantou County, she immediately corrected the materials according to the school’s regulations. She has not yet received a notice from her alma mater, but she was very confident in the paper before sending out the revised paper. There was no problem with the content, and the result was as she expected.
Xu Shuhua’s retention of her master’s degree was in stark contrast to the green camp’s “sorrows everywhere”, sparking heated discussions. Netizens poured into “China Times News Network” and “Yahoo! News” to leave messages: “Lvying crying”, “Ta’s green spot face is super swollen”, “This is Xiaozhi, where is Ah Can’s face?”, “True and false No, the fake ones are tough!” “Look! Their degrees are real! It’s not like a bunch of fake papers and fake master’s degree”, “Wonder Woman is super domineering, praise”, “Xu Shuhua come on! Great!” “What Like EE papers sealed for 30 years”, “True gold is not afraid of fire”.
