My Qualification to Recruit PhD Students Was Revoked (with an Attached Record of Communication with Prospective Applicants)
Today, just as doctoral applications were opening at Tsinghua University, I only learned of the bad news from a student’s reminder: Tsinghua University had suddenly changed its policy again and taken back the admissions rights of assistant professors and pre-tenure associate professors. In other words, at least for these next two years, I won’t be able to take students—unless I wait until I’ve slogged my way into a tenured position…… As for the policy change, I don’t want to comment too much. In fact, the overexpansion of doctoral admissions really is not a good thing, and there is reason to tighten it. But to announce the change only at this…

Further Supplement to PhD Admissions Requirements (Actionable Questionnaire Version) [Expired]
Tsinghua University has suddenly changed its policy again and taken back all the admissions rights of its pre-tenure professors, so this admissions notice is temporarily invalid. Let’s wait until I’ve struggled my way to tenure before saying more…… Since last year I have been eligible at Tsinghua to recruit doctoral students. I had already written an admissions notice and its supplementary explanation; now that I think about it, there’s no need to scrap them and rewrite everything, and interested students can still refer to them. But I wrote those pieces in a rather long-winded way, which may not make it easy for impatient or careless students to grasp at once…

[A Little Grumble] You Only Realize How Annoying Procrastination Is Once You Become a Teacher
The admissions notice went up four months ago, and last month I posted a supplementary note, hoping that students interested in applying would contact me as early and as soon as possible, so that we would have plenty of time to communicate with one another.

Supplementary Notes on PhD Admissions Requirements [No Longer Valid]
Tsinghua University suddenly changed its policy again and took back the admission rights of all its tenure-track professors, so the recruitment notice is temporarily invalid. Let’s wait until I’ve struggled my way to tenure and then talk about it…… The recruitment notice was published, and already several students have contacted me to express their intention to apply. Why not say exactly how many? Because I’m not entirely sure myself. Most students simply expressed their intention in a brief way, without further contact, and some are not from this year’s cohort. I have now successfully been added to Tsinghua’s admissions roster, and after the summer vacation, in September, I will be…

Hu Yilin’s Recruitment Notice [Expired]
Tsinghua University has suddenly changed its policy again and taken back the admissions rights of all its tenure-track professors, so this admissions notice is temporarily invalid. Let’s wait until I’ve clawed my way to tenure before talking about it…… Following my teacher Wu Guosheng, I was extraordinarily lucky to join Tsinghua University as a faculty member, and just last month I became an assistant professor in the School of Humanities. At present I am still affiliated with the Department of Philosophy. Once the Department of the History of Science, being set up by Teacher Wu, is officially established, I will also belong to the Department of the History of…

[Repost] Peking University’s Graduate Admissions Spark Controversy as More Than Half Are Recommended-Exemption Students
http://edu.qq.com/a/20070709/000001.htm Yesterday, Peking University announced its 2008 graduate admissions plan. Of all the places available, the number of students admitted as recommendation-exempt candidates (guaranteed admission) accounts for 50% to 80% of the plan, which is to say that more than half of Peking University’s graduate admissions slots are given to guaranteed-admission students. This policy has made many students from ordinary universities who want to apply to Peking University’s graduate programs feel “very unfair.” Peking University, however, says that this is done in accordance with the advisors’ opinions, with the hope of admitting students of a higher level. – Policy recap Only graduating students from national key universities are eligible for…
