报告称牛津招“特别生”挣钱有损学校声誉
<p>近期发布的一份内部调查报告指出，牛津大学通过招收有钱的“特别生”来谋取商业利益的行为会有损学校的声誉。牛津大学各学院招收的“特别生”平均成绩普遍都低于正式的牛津大学学生，他们每学期支付的学费高达13000英镑（约合人民币12.4万元），而英国学生每年的学费最高只有9000英镑。报告指出，牛津大学每年招收的特别生多达300人，通常都是由第三方机构进行招生。这些学生没有资格取得牛津大学的学位，但可以在简历中表明他们曾在牛津大学学习。报告指出，不清楚真相的人很难分辨这些特别生跟牛津正式学生的区别，而这些特别生项目看起来更像是纯粹的商业交易。</p><p><span word="Oxford">Oxford</span> <span word="University">University</span> <span word="risks">risks</span> <span word="undermining">undermining</span> <span word="its">its</span> <span word="reputation">reputation</span> <span word="by">by</span> <span word="accepting">accepting</span> <span word="wealthy">wealthy</span> <span word="foreign">foreign</span> <span word="students">students</span> <span word="with">with</span> <span word="poor">poor</span> <span word="grades">grades</span> <span word="for">for</span> “<span word="purely">purely</span> <span word="commercial">commercial</span> <span word="reasons">reasons</span>”, <span word="an">an</span> <span word="internal">internal</span> <span word="report">report</span> <span word="warns">warns</span>.</p><p><span word="The">The</span> “<span word="associate">associate</span> <span word="students">students</span>”, <span word="who">who</span> <span word="generally">generally</span> <span word="have">have</span> <span word="lower">lower</span> <span word="average">average</span> <span word="grades">grades</span> <span word="than">than</span> <span word="a">a</span> <span word="typical">typical</span> <span word="Oxford">Oxford</span> <span word="undergraduate">undergraduate</span>, <span word="pay">pay</span> <span word="as">as</span> <span word="much">much</span> <span word="as">as</span> £13,000 <span word="a">a</span> <span word="term">term</span> <span word="and">and</span> <span word="can">can</span> <span word="stay">stay</span> <span word="for">for</span> <span word="up">up</span> <span word="to">to</span> <span word="a">a</span> <span word="year">year</span>.</p><p><span word="Although">Although</span> <span word="the">the</span> <span word="students">students</span> <span word="are">are</span> <span word="not">not</span> <span word="officially">officially</span> <span word="part">part</span> <span word="of">of</span> <span word="the">the</span> <span word="university">university</span>, <span word="senior">senior</span> <span word="figures">figures</span> <span word="said">said</span> <span word="they">they</span> “<span word="pose">pose</span> <span word="severe">severe</span> <span word="reputational">reputational</span> <span word="risk">risk</span>” <span word="because">because</span> <span word="their">their</span> <span word="academic">academic</span> <span word="standards">standards</span> <span word="are">are</span> “<span word="often">often</span> <span word="low">low</span>”.</p>
