Supervisors hired to monitor university recruitment

Renmin University of China has recruited 10 supervisors to monitor undergraduate enrollment this year, the university's admission office announced on Tuesday.

The supervisors will examine the university's recruitment information and process, take rounds in the entrance examination room and report suggestions from the public to the university's admission office.

This is the first time that the university has used third-party supervision for its undergraduate recruitment.

Chen Yulu, the university's president, said the move aims to secure a fair and transparent recruitment process and the university welcomes comments from the media and the public about their enrollment procedures.

The 10 supervisors hired this year include education experts, senior educational reporters, middle school principles as well as middle school students' parents. All of them were selected through the university's open recruitment announcement earlier this year.
