Hi all, just wondered if you would mind me getting a sense check on something?
My institution teaches a large number of Chinese students concentrated in a particular masters degree. It is sort of accepted I guess (I hate this) that some or many are paying for their essays and dissertations. However, I have just been alerted that an email I wrote to a student telling them they had done a good job is now being used to endorse the agency in China which in fact wrote the dissertation on their behalf. So in other words my name is being used to help publicise this agency's services.
I have reported this to school admin who have essentially told me there is nothing they can do. More bluntly I think they can't be arsed and they also don't want to do anything that could damage income from these students.
Has anyone else had an experience like this? What did your university do, if anything? Am I over-reacting to be really pissed off about it? I don't want my name anywhere near this agency and I am also really annoyed that I spent time 'supervising' a dissertation that the student did not write.
