The Ministry of Education and Training has decided to revoke a doctorate degree granted to Hoang Xuan Que, Deputy Head of the Finance & Banking Institute under the National Economics University.
The Ministry of Education and Training has decided to revoke a doctorate degree granted to Hoang Xuan Que from the National Economics University.
The revocation is based on Minister Pham Vu Luan’s conclusion issued on October 4, 2013 upon inspection following the letter of denunciation against the degree. According to the decision, Mr. Que’s doctorate degree will be cancelled.
Dr. Hoang Xuan Que’s thesis, entitled “Solutions to perfect the basic instruments of monetary policies in Vietnam” was denounced to have been 30% plagiarised from a dissertation written by Dr. Mai Thanh Que, from the Banking Academy.
Dr. Mai Thanh Que defended his doctoral dissertation just months before Dr. Hoang Xuan Que.
“This case has been hurried and has no legal foundations," he complained.
Hoang Xuan Que earlier sent his petition to the Minister of Education and Training along with documents as well as scientists’ proposals related to his PhD thesis. Que called on the minister to re-consider his conclusion to revoke his degree.
“Before, I still had hope that the minister will reconsider the case, but after the decision was issued, I withdrew my petition and officially lodged my appeal against the Ministry of Education and Training,” Que confirmed.
Que said that after letter of denunciation, he explained for the case and submitted all evidence to the Ministry of Education and Training’s inspection task force. His doctoral thesis was done in line with the ministry’s laws. All documents related to the thesis have been kept, and the scientists serving on the jury have made themselves available to give answers about the questions related to the thesis. Nonetheless, the inspection task force ignored the evidence and witnesses.
One of the three people who denounced Hoang Xuan Que was Dr. Nguyen Van Nam, former rector of Hanoi National Economics University, which manages Deputy Head of the Finance & Banking Institute. Nam was also a member of the jury which examined Dr. Hoang Xuan Que’s thesis.
