president of a private university in shandong and was questioned about his identity, including the authenticity of his PhD degree. He was very angry at the chinese media, he either quitted or fired from his post.
His degree was real, but there was some weirdness to the way he described himself. He was a John Campbell's student at econ department, not of Rob Merton at HBS. His description was more towards the latter who obviously is more famous. So when Merton denied he had such a student, the chinese media thought they had a homerun. It was widely covered about 3-4yrs ago.
