First, the University of Law, under Hue University, issued a decision to revoke the master's degree in Economic Law of Ms. Dao Thi Bich Thuy - leader of Kinh Bac University for using invalid degrees and certificates.
Next, the representative of Hue University said that there are still no reports on the re-evaluation of the plagiarized doctoral thesis of Ms. Le Thi An Hoa - Head of the Scientific Research Department of the Hue Monuments Conservation Center, although the deadline is January 31, 2025, to take disciplinary action as required by the Ministry of Education and Training.
The fact that Hue University was late in reporting the re-evaluation of Ms. Le Thi An Hoa's doctoral thesis for plagiarism with the reason of having difficulty in inviting experts to establish an appraisal council is a matter of great discussion when many invited people agreed but later refused.
It is known that the doctoral thesis re-evaluation council of Ms. Le Thi An Hoa that Hue University is establishing includes experts from Hue and Hanoi.
And the reason for the refusal is that they have a relationship with the thesis author as well as the thesis supervisor, so now if they speak directly, they will feel heartbroken, if they speak skillfully, they will be at fault with their conscience, public opinion, and academia.
Many opinions say that experts withdrawing are to be blamed for lacking courage and not daring to face the truth. But in the end, their withdrawal was partly due to the word "love".
If there is a mistake, it is from Hue University that it has established a thesis re-evaluation council with all " acquaintances" for a very sensitive case and the 12 pages of plagiarism have been determined.
Therefore, what needs to be done now is for Hue University to establish an "independent" council to re-evaluate the thesis with experts outside of Hue, who are not or have little involvement in the author or supervisor to ensure fairness, objectivity and transparency for all.
This is not difficult and unnecessary for Hue University to continue to cause bad public opinion as it has been for a long time.
Finally, the doctoral thesis of Ms. Le Thi An Hoa, to go to the country for appraisal and re-appraisal like this is a profound lesson, first of all for Hue University and the supervisor and reviewer from the grassroots.
A doctoral thesis has up to 12 pages of plagiarism, but the supervisors and reviewers from the grassroots and state levels still do not detect and approve it, it is difficult to say that they have worked responsibly!
