用兼职教授装点门面

在最新的一期《Science》杂志中，以"Frustrations Mount Over China's High-Priced Hunt for Trophy Professors"为题报道了中国名牌大学热衷于聘请高薪的兼职教授来装点门面。而许多拥有海外教职的华人教授也乐得每年回来一两个月，获取可观的报酬，大量的经费和廉价的研究生资源。另外一方面，中国的年轻一代却没有得到重视。

But Yau and other critics insist that the popularity of these programs does not justify the expense. Rather than lavish money on part-time academics, they argue, Chinese institutions should raise stipends of students and young researchers from their present paltry levels of $30 to $160 a month. "The Chinese government does not pay enough attention to young people," Yau says. As long as the brightest young minds seek greener pastures outside China, the brain drain--and the hunger for overseas talents--will continue.

在同一期上还报道了许多拥有终身教职的海外教授放弃教职回国工作，也值得一看。
