[Instant News/Comprehensive Report] Xinke Hsinchu Mayor Gao Hongan has just been elected, but today (2nd) it was reported that her previously controversial doctoral dissertation from the University of Cincinnati disappeared from the school's electronic library.

Chen Shifen, a scholar with the pseudonym Weng Darui, pointed out in a Facebook post that the disappearance of Gao's thesis is unlikely to be due to a system error.

Ong Darui said in a Facebook post that the University of Cincinnati has persisted for more than a year and chose to remove Gao Hongan's paper at this time. It has been downloaded more than 9 million times, and the school found it unusual; 3. The mainstream media in the United States has been chasing this matter, and the school knows that something is wrong.

Ong Darui believes that because of the above three changes, the University of Cincinnati conducted a preliminary review of Gao Hongan's thesis and found that there were indeed problems, and temporarily removed the thesis on the advice of the lawyer.

Next, the University of Cincinnati has three things to do: 1. Negotiate with the Information Policy Committee to resolve the issue of infringement compensation; 2. Conduct a formal academic ethics investigation on Gao Hongan’s doctoral thesis; 3. Dispose of Gao Hongan based on the results of the first two items.

Ong Darui went on to say that Gao Hongan's thesis will have three possible endings: 1. It will be put on the shelves again after the limelight, but this possibility is almost impossible; 2. The thesis will be put on the shelves after reinforcement, and the so-called reinforcement has two aspects. 3. Gao’s thesis will never be published on the shelves, and his degree will be revoked. If the Institute refuses to grant copyright permission, or Gao Hong’an’s thesis cannot pass the academic ethics survey, the The thesis will never see the light of day, and Gao Hongan's degree will be revoked.

Ong Darui criticized that after the plagiarism of Gao Hongan's thesis was exposed, she used various means to divert the focus, even publishing old letters before the election, in an attempt to create the illusion that the school returned her innocence, but these methods were indeed effective, and she was finally elected as the mayor of Hsinchu.

However, Onda Rui said bluntly, the plagiarism judgment was double-stared, "What I want to say is: if you can cheat for a while, you can't cheat forever; if you can hide for a while, you can't hide forever. What should come will always come, sooner or later. Gao Hongan is in the mayor's office Wait for the school to deal with it!"
