I did not know that Guangxi University of Nationalities had a foreign DOS, and I live in Nanning. That fact alone would turn me off wanting to work there. I have never worked at any university in China that had a foreign DOS, if it is starting to happen I am alarmed by this fact. Also,no exam at any university in China should be compulsory for any FT either. Voluntary is OK, compulsory is not.

I certainly hope that public universities in China do not head down the same path as training centres. I have enjoyed working at Chinese universities, I know how to teach the students and I just turn up at my clases and conduct my work without interference from useless managers and DOS's. I certainly hope it will stay that way!
