«Breaking News» University of Liverpool accused of racism in exam cheating warning

The University of Liverpool has been accused of discriminating against Chinese after an email about exam rules directing at all overseas students included a Chinese translation for the word 'cheating'.

The university's Student Welfare Advice and Guidance office sent the email offering exam advice to international students on Monday, warning them of serious consequences if they were caught cheating. The email, which was written entirely in English, contained the Chinese characters for 'cheating'. 

An explanation in the email said: 'We find that our Chinese students are usually unfamiliar with the word "cheating" in English, and we therefore provide this translation.'

The incident sparked outrage among Chinese students. More than 1,000 people signed an online petition demanding a public apology to 'all international students'.

The university's Student Welfare Advice and Guidance apologised on Twitter, saying it was not their intention 'to single out any particular group of students, but to make the information as accessible as possible for our student community'.

On Chinese microblogging site Weibo, the topic 'University of Liverpool reminds students not to cheat in Chinese' has been viewed more than nine million times. 

'The term "cheating" is very simple. There is no need to provide a translation at all. All Chinese students at your English university would understand the concept,' one user commented. 

Students were outraged by the email sent by the university's student services centre 

'If you'd like to warn all international students about cheating, why didn't you translate the term into other languages?' another said. 

'I wouldn't deny that there are Chinese students who cheat, but it's unnecessary to make the issue about the entire country,' one user said.  

In an apology letter posted on the school's Twitter account on Tuesday, university vice-chancellor Janet Beer said the email was a mistake and 'wholly inappropriate'.

'I apologise wholeheartedly for the offence it has caused,' she said, adding 'it is not representative of the high regard in which the university holds its Chinese students'. 

'We take full responsibility for the mistake made and will review our procedures and take appropriate action to ensure nothing of this nature happens again,' she said.  

The University of Liverpool has 33,000 students, 5,358 of whom are from China, according to the school. The university has a joint venture with Xian Jiaotong University in Suzhou in eastern China.

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.

Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
