Chapter 1139: Accountability
Before knowing the true relationship between Yue Qingqing and Zhou Yiran, Jiang Hai did not dare to act rashly for the time being.
He could only let the posts continue to ferment.
Sliding towards the worst abyss he predicted.
The students of Minghua University are not to be underestimated, and when more and more victims stood out, everyone learned the truth.
Everyone spoke out through various channels.
Media interviews—
Online exposure—
Some who have some ability or connections with teachers directly started exerting pressure from above.
This incident has gotten so big that even Beijing Daily reported it.
Minghua University is a century-old prestigious school, always seen as the leader among universities and a sanctum that many students aspire to.
Yet such a malicious event of arbitrary grade alteration occurred.
The president and school board couldn't sit idle.
Among the school board members, either for the school's reputation and personal interests, or genuinely heartbroken over the matter, none could tolerate the incident.
Take Elder Qian as an example—
Elder Qian received the list sent by Yue Qingqing, with the compared grades marked.
Clearly showing him just how many victims there were.
In other words, to what extent the Student Union held sway.
Elder Qian was beside himself with rage and immediately went to the president and secretary.
He was originally someone generous and had pledged to leave all his assets to education upon his death.
Especially focused on morality.
Otherwise he wouldn't have tested the students like this.
It can be imagined just how explosive Elder Qian's anger was upon seeing the list.
Elder Qian directly slapped the list onto the desk of the president's office, his graying hair trembling with fury.
"The school must provide an explanation for this matter, otherwise I will withdraw all investments and resign from all positions."
The president and secretary were originally discussing countermeasures, and upon seeing Elder Qian's stance, they panicked.
Not to mention the amount Elder Qian invested, his role as a school director at Minghua University holds significant symbolic meaning.
If he withdraws and resigns, the external rumors could be unpredictable, and it would greatly affect the school's reputation.
The president hurried to pacify, "Elder Qian, please sit down and talk, we are discussing the regulations too. Initially, using GPA to determine exchange students was in the interest of fairness, but who could foresee such an issue arising."
Elder Qian said coldly, "I have brought up the matter of the Student Union before, you said it was to train students' management and organizational ability, which I can understand, but when an organization lacks supervision yet holds power, do you not know what it will become?"
The president and secretary exchanged glances, both somewhat embarrassed.
In fact, the Student Union becoming like this is not unrelated to the school's indulgence, but ultimately it's a neglect in management.
Thinking that letting students manage students could save a lot of resources, and the school and teachers could be more relaxed in this respect.
For instance, arranging the opening and graduation ceremony by the Student Union, assisting teachers, organizing campus recruitment activities.
These starting intentions were all good.
But as Elder Qian said, unchecked power is like a lion let out from a cage.
It is impossible to remain obedient.
This is a biological instinct.
Now they must pay the price for years of negligence and are determined to investigate thoroughly.
The president looked at the pile of complaints in his email box and made up his mind.
"Rest assured, I will certainly give you an explanation for this matter."
Qian Zhengxin said word for word, "It's not about giving me an explanation, it's about giving all students an explanation."
"The Student Union becoming like this, all managers bear responsibility, including myself."
"Don't think about covering up this incident, handle it as you should, and it's not too late now."
