This post is in response to JoAnne's post on 11/17/08 regarding Jiaying University. In the 6 years I have worked with this university there has never been a teacher by the name of JoAnne who has worked at the university as a foreign teacher. This means this review has been posted fraudulently or the individual is attempting to remain nameless. Either way, this type of post dilutes the validity of information found on this site.

I work very closely with the university officials and the Foreign Affairs Office. There has been no evidence over the last 6 years of the types of things described by "JoAnne".

There have been foreign teachers who have not been happy/satisfied with the way they have been treated (as with most employers). However, when these situations are investigated the typical result is that both parties are partially to blame and the situation was allowed to escalate without dialog between the parties. When this occurs it usually results in bad feelings on both parties part.

I apologize for the long posting, but the accusations made and shared can not be believed since this person has not used their true name or provided specifics.

Many foreign teachers have worked at Jiaying University with pleasant and memorable experiences. Those stories are in the majority rather than this questionable experience.

I am happy to provide current teacher contacts for anyone who would like to correspond with them to get the "real" picture.
