张维迎的学历有假？2007-07-26 18:18
2006年初，我在网上偶然看到了关于张维迎的学历有假的传闻。网络带来了信息的平等享有和快速流动，也带来了对信息可靠性的挑战－－特别是在一篇文章往往被无数次转载连原作者署名都没有的国内媒体。

要证实或证伪这个传闻，给牛津大学写封信问问就行了－－很简单的事情。下面是我写给牛津大学学籍处的信和对方的回信。

Subject: Requests for verification of Weiying Zhang's qualifications

Dear Sir or Madam:

I am writing to ask for your confirmation of the academic qualifications of Mr. Weiying Zhang, currently a professor of Peking University in China, and the vice dean of Guanghua School of Management, a leading business school in China.

The reason for my somehow curious inquiry is that since it is generally believed that Mr. Zhang received his Ph.D in economics from Oxford University in 1994, there have been could-be rumors on Internet recently putting doubts on it, one of which says that Zhang did not receive the Ph.D from Oxford but instead one from the John F. Kennedy School of Government in US.

In my point of view, such debate is obviously a waste, since it is so easy to settle down by asking you. As a graduate form Guanghua School where Mr. Zhang works as a dean, this issue concerns me personally. By the way, I have no interest in publicizing the result of this inquiry and just want to have the answer for myself, thought I understand who deceived or misled the public, whether it be either Mr. Zhang or those who made the rumors, should be denounced, and will be.

Thank you for your time.

Sincerely,

Fei Wu
