SINGAPORE – The Chinese department at the Nanyang Technological University has appointed an acting head after news broke last Thursday thatAssociate Professor Qu Jingyi is accused of plagiarising a former student’s final-year project in his 2018 research paper titled Escape As A Mode Of Existence: On Ruan Ji’s Escapism Complex.
A check on Sunday showed that Prof Qu’s titles as head of the Chinese department and deputy director of the Centre for Chinese Language and Culture had been removed from the department’s webpage. Checks by The Straits Times found that more than 50 per cent of Prof Qu’s paper looked like a direct translation of Mr Wang’s 2014 paper, with no attribution to the latter. These sections include analyses of poems and inferences made on related research papers.
In response to earlier queries, the university had said that it is investigating the allegations. It added that it would be inappropriate to comment further while the investigation is ongoing.
