Jim Cross is a 60 year old male who told a 19 year old student that he loved her, he will marry her and take her to America. He told her she must live with him,however, and this is against the College policy and procedures. Jim Cross told students and teachers that he was the owner of a multi-million dollar international company and he often asked male students to go to bars with him "looking for fun and girls". He was in fact dating one of the girls from the bar when he seized upon his opportunity to take advantage of the 19 year old student. What happened next between he and the University Administration was the result of his unacceptable behavior toward female students.

Many of us were outraged at Jim Cross' behavior and he only lasted 3 months teaching in Ganzhou, Jiangxi. We don't need teachers like Jim Cross in China, as he does not represent Americans nor any nationality very well.

In 1999-2000, an elderly teacher died of natural causes while teaching at Gannan. It was not a young American female teacher who died under unusual circumstances.

I gladly set the facts straight, not by rumor but by truth and documented facts. I have been in China many years as an English Teacher.
