Chapter 898: University Rankings, Slap in the Face
After New Year’s Day, we arrived in 2054.
After a heavy snowfall, the imperial capital was covered in white.
As the end of the semester approaches, the atmosphere on campus suddenly becomes tense and students are rushing around.
Jiang Fuyue spends most of her time in the laboratory.
The research on the new project was entering its final stage and there were many miscellaneous tasks, so Xu Kaiqing, who had just had some free time, was drafted into the army.
"I say, why don't you arrest Old Peter?"
"Peter's been busy getting a visa lately." Jiang Fuyue threw him a stack of documents. "Please arrange them in the order of the periodic table before dinner. Thank you."
Xu Kaiqing muttered softly: "Well, I'm also very busy..."
"Yes, busy arguing with the School of Engineering."
“…”
Some time ago, Xu Kaiqing had a dispute with the dean of the School of Engineering. What started as a dispute between two people escalated into a war between the two colleges and has not yet subsided.
Xu Kaiqing: "Isn't it just that your application to live in Wujinglou was rejected? You can't afford to lose, and you're dragging Mingda down with you. To put it bluntly, you're just sour grapes."
The reason is very simple. Liu Dewu, the dean of the School of Engineering, submitted an application to Mingda, hoping to live in the Endless Building, but the self-application quota is currently full. If he wants to come in, he can only use the invitation quota.
But it is not easy to get an invitation.
Although Liu Dewu is the head of an institute, his academic achievements are average. He has not won any of the highest domestic scientific awards or some famous foreign academic awards.
To put it bluntly, he couldn't even reach the threshold of "invitation quota".
Naturally, Xiaoshan rejected the application.
Liu Dewu didn't say anything at the time, but he turned around and made a big fuss about it, saying that a rubbish university like Mingda, which couldn't even be considered an undergraduate university, had no right to decide the increase or decrease of the Endless Building?
It is also said that the Endless Building is built on the campus of Ming University, which is a very ridiculous thing. Is a fake university worthy of having such an advanced interdisciplinary laboratory building?
…
If this continues, Wujin Building will be destroyed sooner or later.
If the relevant departments have not lost their minds, they should bring Wujin Building under their direct jurisdiction and kick out Mingda, this wild chicken.
…
What is the Endless Building? I think it's more like the Fake University Experimental Building.
It smells like chicken shit, and it makes me sick just thinking about it.
It's not a serious place, who would want to come in?
…
Those who have been admitted have simply applied early and have a time advantage. Apart from that, do they have any other advantages?
A hodgepodge, a big mess, with good and bad people mixed together, what kind of research results can be produced?
…
Remarks like these, from scolding Mingda to diss Wujinglou, finally even the scientists who successfully moved into Wujinglou were scolded.
Dean Liu has a really sharp (pang) and stinky (stinky) mouth!
At first, he was relatively restrained and only cursed within the School of Engineering. Seeing that no one refuted him, he became unscrupulous and spoke nonsense everywhere.
How can you say "no objection"?
It's just that due to various concerns, I didn't confront him head-on.
Some people simply don't dare to do it. After all, as the dean, Liu Dewu still has great power, and it only takes a few minutes for him to make things difficult for others.
Some people, however, were disdainful and too lazy to refute, and just turned around and told his friends about it as a joke.
Who doesn’t know that half of the professors at Q University are now teaching part-time at Mingda University?
Living in a luxurious apartment in the city center, earning several times the monthly salary, eating in the Mingda cafeteria for free, and using the Mingda labs...
The benefits are visible to the naked eye, and those professors are not fools. Don’t they have a scale in their hearts and don’t know whether Mingda is good or bad?
Do you want to listen to the gossip of a loser who was rejected?
Although she listened to Liu Dewu's complaints with a smile on her face, she was actually cursing him as a "fool" and a "moron" in her heart.
However, Liu Dewu believed that these people's silence was indirectly equivalent to their agreement, and he became more and more outspoken after that.
As luck would have it, it bumped into Xu Kaiqing's hand.
When Xu Kaiqing heard what he said, his face immediately turned dark.
Not only did he scold him harshly, but he also exposed his malicious intention of deliberately slandering and defaming him because he failed to enter the Endless Tower.
Now Liu Dewu was like a cat whose tail was stepped on. He instantly jumped up and started to fight with Xu Kaiqing on the spot.
One is the dean of the School of Physics, and the other is the dean of the School of Engineering. In addition to their own positions, they also represent the honor and face of a school.
In this way, the battle between the two colleges began.
Under Xu Kaiqing's coordination, the School of Physics has formed a "brother gang" with the Department of Physics of Mingda University in the past year. The two sides share resources, learn from each other's strengths and weaknesses, and have a very close relationship.
A physicist from Q University: The food at Ming University is delicious, there is plenty of money, the place is big, the students are generous, and they are not pretentious or artificial.
Just one word: "awesome"!
A physicist from Mingda University: The guys from Q University are smart, honest, quick at solving problems, and good at experiments. I learned a lot from following them.
Just one word: "hang"!
Both sides are like this, you are interested in me, I am interested in you, and we study happily and sweetly~
Now the School of Engineering is targeting their "good brothers" and calling them "wild chickens". How can they tolerate this?
Q University of Physics fought back.
Of course, the School of Engineering is not to be trifled with. They have never tasted Mingda’s food, nor have they enjoyed the treatment of the rich. They are usually envious and upset, and they took this opportunity to vent all their anger.
For a while, Q University was extremely lively.
It is said that this matter was even brought to the campus forum and was regarded as a joke by other colleges.
…
Xu Kaiqing was sorting through the documents in his hands while cursing, "That Liu Dewu isn't very capable, he has no achievements, and he just loves to complain. He should have been dealt with long ago."
"And the engineering school he leads, everyone from top to bottom is so impatient, obsessed with how many commercial projects they can get and how much money they can make. In the end, they achieve nothing academically. It's simply a case of the top being crooked and the bottom being crooked!"
"How dare Liu Dewu confront me? He acts like a tyrant in his own territory, but he really thinks everyone is afraid of him? Who am I? I'm Xu Kaiqing! Nicknamed Old Cannon! Can he defeat me?"
"It's a good thing I didn't let him pass. When I think about seeing his mean face in Wujing Building in the future, I feel like throwing up!"
Xu Kaiqing complained for as long as he was cleaning up, and he never stopped the whole time, his little mouth was chattering.
Jiang Fuyue: "Would you like some water?"
Xu Kaiqing smacked his lips and said, "My mouth seems a little dry. Give me a bottle."
After drinking, he can continue!
Jiang Fuyue: “…”
After finally finishing his complaints, Xu Kaiqing suddenly asked, "...Why aren't you angry?"
Xu Kaiqing knew how much thought and effort Jiang Fuyue had put into Mingda and Wujin Building.
Logically speaking, Mingda was scolded and Wujinlou was insulted, so she should be the one who is most angry.
But she is fine, acting like nothing happened?
Jiang Fuyue didn't even look up as he adjusted the experimental parameters with quick and steady movements: "What's the point of getting angry? Can getting angry silence the gossip? Can it beat Dean Liu's head off?"
Xu Kaiqing laughed: "Hehe...that won't work."
"Verbal arguments can only satisfy you temporarily. If you want to completely smack someone in the face, or even rip their skin off and throw it on the ground and stomp on it, you still have to rely on facts."
Facts speak for themselves?
Xu Kaiqing didn't quite understand: "What do you mean?"
Jiang Fuyue smiled slightly, "You will know soon."
Xu Kaiqing had a hunch that she was up to no good, but he had no evidence.
But I didn't expect that the "soon" Jiang Fuyue mentioned would happen so quickly...
Two days later, the AIRS Alumni Association Network officially released the "2053 China University Evaluation Research Report". This is the 51st consecutive year that the AIRS Alumni Association Network's university research team has released the Chinese university rankings.
The list shows that B University topped the list of the top 600 Chinese Universities in 2053, and has been ranked first among Chinese Universities for six consecutive years; Q University followed closely behind in second place; below it are F University, Z University, S Jiaotong University, etc.
It is not surprising that these famous schools are on the list.
However, in the list of the top 100 schools in China, there is an unexpected school:
Qiming University!
And he was not selected at the last place, but was clearly listed at 42nd place!
On the same day, Wu Lianshu and Soft Science Global Ranking also released the "2053 Ranking of Chinese Higher Education Institutions", in which Qiming University ranked 52nd and 37th respectively.
It is worth mentioning that in Wu Lianshu’s “Annual International Reputation and Influence” sub-item ranking list, Mingda University actually surpassed B University and Q University and ranked first!
boom--
The university circle is experiencing an unprecedented earthquake.
"Are you kidding me?"
"Ming University doesn't even have an undergraduate degree, so how can it be ranked ahead of University B and University Q?"
"That's ridiculous! How is this any different than a monkey being the king of beasts or a chicken being the leader of sheep?"
"I'm asking—what's the secret behind Mingda? Is it because they're rich and full of idiots, all either playboys or hooligans? Or is it because they have a bad reputation and a poor student body, a bunch of rich kids who just eat and work?!"
He is indeed a cultured person, he can even rhyme when cursing.
“…”
The majority of voices in the circle are dissatisfied.
Some professionals even began to question Wu Lianshu's authority and objectivity.
However, coincidentally, Mingda still leads the way in the "Annual International Awards" individual ranking released by the Shanghai Ranking.
If one of them made a mistake, what should we do if both authoritative institutions made the same mistake?
People in the industry who are knowledgeable about the matter began to remain silent.
Because they have realized the problem.
However, due to information asymmetry on the Internet and insufficient understanding of these two lists, netizens have different opinions and ideas.
Soon, it became a hot topic.
#明大ranking#
#Mingda University ranks higher than B University and Q University#
#PheasantMingDa#
#University Rankings#
Although university rankings would become hot searches once released in previous years, they were far less intense than this time.
Netizens are roughly divided into three groups. One group expressed support and blessings.
What's wrong with Mingda? Isn't it true that a first-class university can't be included in the rankings?
[What era is it now where people still judge heroes by their origins? ]
[Are kings, princes, generals, and ministers of different races truly of the same kind? Have you heard of this? Go study your junior high school textbook carefully!]
Mingda's achievements last year are obvious to all. Why isn't it on the list?
Congratulations to Mingda University. Hard work always pays off.
I really don't know what some people are being so sarcastic about. Whenever a celebrity becomes popular, you'll want to criticize them. Now you're even targeting university rankings, right?
Some people just can't stand seeing others do better than they already do. Mingda, fly bravely, your fans will always be with you~]
…
The other group is opposed to the
This is unfair to other established prestigious universities, and to those students from prestigious universities who have fought their way through the crowd and stood out.
Mingda University has been all the rage in recent years, with discussions everywhere online. But just because it's a popular university doesn't mean it's a good one. How did it get ahead of University B and University Q? That's ridiculous!
I even suspect that Wu Lianshu and the Soft Science Global Rankings received money from Mingda.
[No way? You're still playing with it like this?]
Mingda spent a lot of money on PR last year, didn't it? Trending searches are popping up one after another, and the number of readers is rising rapidly.
[A real-life example of a pheasant transforming into a phoenix after landing on a tree—truly the tragedy of education and the tears of our times.]
[If you have money, you can do whatever you want. Just go to bed. You can’t beat them.]
[I've been holding back for so long—Mingda, you're so shameless!]
[+1]
Mingda University has only improved slightly in the last couple of years, but it's gotten so carried away that it's dragging down B and Q universities. Who gave it the face?
…
There is also a group that remains neutral——
【No rush, wait a little longer. 】
[Experience tells me, let the bullets fly for a while]
[Don't take sides, don't be partial, just be rational, thank you.]
[Strongly request Wu Lianshu and Soft Science Global Ranking to publish individual/sub-category ranking criteria! ]
…
In response to this, Wu Lianshu and the Soft Science Global Ranking quickly responded.
Almost one after another, relevant instructions and explanations were posted on their respective official websites and social media accounts.
First is Wu Lianshu’s “Annual International Reputation and Influence” list, in which the number of international scientific research awards won is the only ranking criterion.
Key point: unique.
This is a single ranking, not a comprehensive one.
Looking at the domestic universities last year, Mingda was the only one that won the global S-level scientific research award.
It is also specially noted in the brackets: Lasker Basic Medical Research Award, winner is Jiang Fuyue.
Then there is the "Annual International Awards" of the Soft Science Global Ranking, which is also a single list, and the number of global S-level scientific research awards and domestic competition awards won is used as the judging criteria.
With the Lasker Basic Medical Research Award, Hua Luogeng Award, Chern Award, Zhou Weiliang Award, Xu Baoqi Award, Lin Jiaqiao Award, and Yau Cheng-Tung Award, Mingda University undoubtedly won first place.
Now, all the voices of condemnation on the Internet have disappeared.
[Case solved! They're ranked in a single category, what's there to laugh at?]
[That's right! It doesn't mean that the overall strength of the university has surpassed that of B or Q. It just means that it excels in some individual areas.]
【There is no need to be so shameless】
[You won't know until you see it. It's shocking. Mingda University won so many awards in the past year!]
[Mingda's award-winning record is equivalent to Yuejie's, no one would refute this, right?]
My sister Yue alone carried the ranking of Mingda University. I’m so impressed.
[Whoever controls Jiang Fuyue controls the world. No one should refute this statement, right?]
I wonder if Sister Yue got a perfect score on Ming University just for this day?
I think the above post is spot on! How can inheriting history be as fun as creating it? At Q and B Universities, Sister Yue's presence was just icing on the cake. But Ming University is different. With Sister Yue's presence, the school comes alive.
[I'm so touched. My school is also short of a moon sister. Woo woo woo——]
[Alright, no need to say anything more, please type "月神yyds" on the public screen!]
