Students Riot at Chinese University Over Changes to Diploma

“We’ve been cheated out of three years,” said one posting, signed Yvonne, on an online education blog.

Parents, many of them poor farmers, apparently had been willing to pay Shengda's relatively high $1,250 annual tuition because they believed their children would receive Zhengzhou University degrees.

Reader comments on this story:

"understandable disappointment"
I completely understand why the students are upset. They went into college thinking one thing would happen when they graduated but now something different will occur. Students in the USA would be upset if they attended a branch campus of a university only to learn at the end of their education that their diploma would not read the name of the institution but another name instead. Maybe a decrease in enrollment will change the mind of the college administrators.
