The prestigious Tsinghua University will recruit 134 teachers worldwide,
the Beijing News reported here Sunday.

Tsinghua will recruit 49 professors or researchers and 85 associate
professors and researchers, the paper quoted the sources from the
University as saying.

"We will strictly verify recommendation letters, theses and other related
information submitted by applicants to root out academic fraud," said an
official in charge of personnel affairs of the university.

Tsinghua required the applicants from out of Tsinghua to submit at least
five theses, and overseas applicants to submit at least three
recommendation letters.

In March 2006, Liu Hui, a professor was removed from his post for
fabricating his academic achievements and work experience.

Currently, Tsinghua encourages professors and associate professors from
both in and out of Tsinghua to compete for the academic posts available
each year as part of its reforms of existing teachers' employment system.

The recruitment will be terminated on October 10 and the final results
will be unveiled by the end of December, university sources said.
