密歇根大学教授拒绝清华尖子生博士入学的原因 一封密歇根大学教授给清华大学博士申请者的拒绝信 ，中国学生信任崩溃！原文刊登在一个揭露中国学术丑闻的网站上，该网站已被中国防火墙屏蔽。In a recent post on Natures The Sceptical Chymist I discussed a bit in the comment field about the deficiency of Chinese PhD, with other commenters, where we talked about the lack of senses of safety, weak instrumental operation, and poor spoken English (please refer to that post for detail).

In a way we felt that we were used as a step for those Chinese students to come here, and get their masters degree, then get their jobs.
