Huang Zongying, former associate professor of the Department of English Language and Literature with the university's Foreign Languages School, was accused of plagiarizing other scholars' works in his own academic works from 1999 to 2003, including books and academic papers, The Beijing News Daily said, quoting an investigation report by the English department.

"All his published works during the period have been found to contain apparent, grave and extensive plagiarism, totaling 20 articles," said the report.

In one of his literary commentary works, a book on American poet, critic and editor TS Eliot, 74 percent of the content was copied from other scholars' academic achievements, the report said.

Huang pursued his doctoral studies in the English department of Beijing University in 1993 and was later employed as an English teacher by the department after graduating in 1996. He was promoted to associate professor a year later.

Chairman of the Labor Union of the Foreign Languages School, Huang was enthusiastic about public welfare and praised by his colleagues as "behaving very well," the newspaper said.

"However, academic evaluation is different from moral evaluation", said You Xiaoli, associate professor of Suzhou University in East China’s Jiangsu Province.

It was indeed rare in China for a university to sack a teacher for plagiarism, because many plagiarist scholars still published papers and worked as professors, even though their scandals had been discovered, said You.
