A university in China has included in its admission packet a contract for incoming students to sign which absolves them of any responsibility should any student commit suicide. How nice of them to insure the integrity of university by claiming the pressures to come top of your class isn't their fault. Without acknowledging the pressures placed upon students to do just that.
A warm reminder that killing yourself is just fine as long as you don't blame Dongguan university.
New students at Chinese university have been required to sign a waiver to absolve the school of any blame should they commit suicide.
More than 5,000 students beginning their courses at City College of Dongguan University of Technology received the document in their packet of admissions paperwork at the start of term on Sunday.
While administrators at the university, which is in the province of Guangdong in the south of the country, have tried to pass off the papers as nothing more than a "warm reminder" for new students of what they claim is long-standing policy, many parents are up in arms.
One mother told Time magazine that she felt the agreement was 'irresponsible and unfair'.
