蘇大聲明
蘇州大學關於中文系78級學生傅苹造假事件的聲明 近期,有不少關心我校的海內外校友和朋友給我校來函來電,提及我校中文系78級學生傅苹撰寫的回憶錄《彎而不折》(Bend, Not Break)中,有多處與當時事實完全不相符合的表述。該書已於2012年12月31日正式出版,因此對我們國家及蘇州大學的聲譽造成極壞影響,也引起了海內外校友和朋友的極大憤慨。 收到來信來電後,我校立即成立了由相關部門、學院、老師組成的調查小組,對傅苹在校讀書期間的學籍檔案等進行了認真核查,向傅苹的老師和同班同學進行了了解和訪問,得出的基本結論如下: 一.關於傅苹在我校的學習經歷。 傅苹,女,1958年生,南京籍高考生,於1978年9月進入江蘇師範學院(蘇州大學前身),專業是中國語言文學。1982年3月16日辦理退學手續,未獲畢業證書和學位證書。在讀期間,多次無故曠課,違反學校學籍管理規定,影響惡劣,學校曾於1981年10月給予其行政記過處分。 二.關於傅苹在1978年到1982年四年本科期間修學英語的問題。 傅苹在書中提到,她去美國之前只認識三個英文單詞。我們核查後的結果是:1978年10月—1979年7月,其英語成績為“優”,1979年9月—1980年7月,其英語成績為“88”分,兩次考試成績在班內均屬中上等水平。英語是學生的必修課。 三.關於傅苹畢業論文的問題。 傅苹於1982年3月從江蘇師範學院退學,所以在畢業生名單中未見其名字,在檔案中也未見其畢業論文,也沒有她的畢業證書和學位證書。 此外,江蘇師範學院中文系畢業論文都是以文學和語言學為研究對象,而不會涉及“殺害女嬰”這一涉及社會學的內容。 在其就讀期間,78級同學沒有任何人涉及刑事事件,其被投入監獄之事更是子虛烏有!其組織社團被逮捕之事也是一派謊言! 四.關於“手指檢驗”計畫生育的問題。 根據蘇州大學多位教師(這些教師包括她的同班同學、班主任、中文系領導)證實,學校從未用這種侮辱性的手段對女生進行相關檢驗,當然更談不上得到黨委領導的支持。傅苹如此編造謊言,是對78級所有同學的侮辱! 根據上述調查結果,我校認為傅苹在書中所寫內容嚴重失實,不僅損害了蘇州大學的名譽,也使我們國家形象受到損害,我們將保留追究的權利! 同時,我們也再一次感謝社會各界關心、維護國家形象和蘇州大學名譽的有識之士。蘇州大學辦學113年以來,堅持以人為本,服務社會,30多萬畢業生為新中國的建設做出了應有的貢獻,其中不乏各行各業的骨幹和傑出人才,也有許多畢業生離校後心繫母校,感念師恩,以捐資助學、校企合作、聯合培養人才等多種形式回報母校培育之恩。蘇州大學也不乏留學海外的赤子,他們在異國他鄉努力奮鬥、成績斐然,不僅贏得良好的社會地位,也為母校增光添彩。他們異域拼搏之時能常念母校深恩,各盡所能,為母校在學科建設、人才培養、科研創新等方面提供幫助,開拓渠道,誠心切切,不求回報,使母校深感欣慰和驕傲。這些事實又豈是個別別有用心之人能妄言抹殺的? 感謝各位校友和朋友對蘇州大學的關注和關心! 蘇州大學 2013年6月11日 Official Statement on the Deceptive Behavior of Ping Fu, a Former Student of Soochow University Recently, many of our alumni at home and abroad have contacted us regarding the validity of the book, Bend , Not Break: A Life in Two Worlds. They claim that some stories in the book are outright falsehoods. These falsehoods have given both our school and country a poor reputation and caused our alumni and friends to feel deeply incensed. Upon notification of the inquiries from many of our alumni, an investigation team consisting of professors in relevant departments was formed. After careful examination on Ping Fu's student record in this University's archive and many visits to Ping Fu’s teachers and classmates, the following statement is being released for clarification. 1. Ping Fu was a student at this University with no degree earned Ping Fu, female, born in 1958, a native from Nanjing, was admitted as a student in Chinese Literature in September 1978 into Jiangsu Teachers' College (predecessor of Soochow University, or Suzhou University in pinyin, 蘇州大學). During her undergraduate years, a demerit entry was made in her record in October 1981 due to several infractions. She formally withdrew from school on March 16, 1982 and earned no diploma or degree from this University. 2. Ping Fu took English as mandated by the curriculum In her book, Ping Fu claimed that she went to the U.S. knowing only three English words – “hello, thank you, and help.” However, our curriculum included mandatory college-level English courses for the first two years. ?The record from the University Registrar’s Office indicates that Ping Fu received an "Excellent" (equivalent to an A) and an 88% (equivalent to a B+) in English as a freshman (1978 to 1979) and as a sophomore (1979 to 1980), respectively. ? 3. No record of Ping Fu's alleged graduation thesis exists Ping Fu withdrew from the University a few months before graduation. There are no records of her graduation thesis, or any related work and materials in the University Registrar’s Office. As an additional note of clarification, student thesis topics in the Department of Chinese Literature at this University have always been focused on literature and linguistic studies, which do not involve infanticide, a study subject more in the realm of Sociology than in Literature and Linguistics. 4. No student admitted in 1978 was arrested between 1978 and 1982 During 1978-1982, no student admitted in 1978 at this University was arrested for criminal conduct or other reasons, let alone for organizing a literary society. Ping Fu’s claim of her arrest and imprisonment is entirely unfounded and contrary to facts. 5. There was no enforcement of birth control measures on undergraduate students The University hereby states unequivocally that this reputable institution of higher learning has never enforced any birth control measures on undergraduate students . Ping Fu’s allegation of “finger checking” for female students’ menstrual periods for birth control purposes is resoundingly false and has unfairly sullied the reputation of female students at this University. To further confirm the absurdity of such allegation, the University additionally contacted a number of individuals in and out of the University who experienced and are knowledgeable of the time period in question. These individuals, including Ping Fu’s former classmates, faculty advisors and the leadership of the Department of Chinese Literature of this University, have all confirmed without any question that such a practice never occurred at Soochow University. Based on the above findings, this University ultimately concludes that Ping Fu’s relevant narrative in her memoir is factually inaccurate and has damaged the image of Soochow University. Soochow University reserves the right to take further action. At the same time, we would like to thank all alumni and friends for their support and concern for Soochow University. Over the past 113 years, Soochow University has nurtured more than 300,000 graduates who have gone on to make significant contributions for our country. These talented alumni remain loyal and attached to their alma mater, expressing their gratitude for their education through regular reunions and donations, and maintaining old friendships from their time at this school. Not only have these alumni made contributions in our country, but many have also gone abroad, spreading the good name of Soochow University through their hard work and successes. Many alumni overseas have quietly given back to the university in the areas of discipline construction, talent training, and scientific research, making their mother university proud. It is not fair for Ping Fu and her thunderous falsehoods to write off the many good deeds and pride that all the other alumni have done and shared for Soochow University. We appreciate all the concern and support that the alumni and friends have shown for our university! Soochow University June 11, 2013 |
方舟子打假
近日,素有“打假鬥士”之稱的方舟子再次發力,將打假“利劍”指向被外界捧為“3D列印先驅”的女企業家傅苹。引發此事的導火索則是《福布斯》中文網刊登的一篇有關傅苹的報導。
在此之前,國內知道傅苹其人其事的人並不多。不過,這位在美國創業的華裔女企業家卻“大有來頭”。《福布斯》中文網描述這位高科技企業家人生之路的文章介紹說,傅苹曾經供職於美國國家超級計算機套用中心(NCSA),工作涉及早期的雲計算模型、電腦動畫和3D列印技術;她曾經管理的團隊成員包括網景公司創始人馬克·安德森,後者是網際網路上第一個獲普遍使用的網頁瀏覽器的發明人;她還曾是美國總統歐巴馬的座上賓,在美國“創新和創業國家顧問委員會”中任職。
傅苹的網路名聲,很大程度上與3D列印技術的方興未艾相關。所謂3D列印技術,實際上是一系列快速原型成型技術的統稱,其基本原理都是疊層製造。基於這種技術的3D印表機在內部裝有液體或粉末等“列印材料”,通過電腦控制把“列印材料”一層層疊加起來,最終把計算機上的三維藍圖變成實物。
傅苹創辦的科技企業傑魔公司(Geomagic)正是研發3D相關軟體,從事個性化的鞋子、假肢和航天飛船的維修部件的設計和定製。就在這個月,傅苹把公司出售給了3D Systems(一家3D列印技術公司),並出任新公司的首席戰略官。有網友將“3D印表機創始人”的“桂冠”安放在她頭上,方舟子認為這是“張冠李戴”,因為傑魔公司只是做3D數據採集、分析和建模的,並非做3D列印。至於媒體把傅苹稱為是“歐巴馬團隊的人”,方舟子表示,“她只是該委員會的20多個委員之一”。
方舟子的質疑,還集中在傅苹的履歷的諸多疑點。方舟子在博文中寫道,傅苹在報導中稱,上世紀80年代,她發表了一篇討論中國農村溺殺女嬰現象的畢業論文,因此鋃鐺入獄,《人民日報》對此還做了報導。但方舟子在檢索同期的報紙時,並未發現相關報導。此外,方舟子還發現,傅苹對國外媒體和國內媒體在自身履歷描述上往往會出現“內外有別”的情況。方舟子認為,傅苹在向國外媒體敘述自身的“文革”經歷太過“傳奇”,並斥責其在說謊。
推薦理由:
截至目前,傅苹對於方舟子的質疑沒有做出回應。當今社會,一個人在某一領域獲得成功,往往會迅速被傳播、放大,捧為“勵志榜樣”。在這種光環照耀下,成功者也往往會主動或被動地“包裝”自己,試圖呈現給公眾一個更“完美”的形象,於是,美化履歷,甚至編造“苦難”都應運而生。在IT業界,已有不少前車之鑑,如唐駿的“學歷造假門”、李開復的“副教授”頭銜風波等。 (楊程)
