SINGAPORE — Nanyang Technological University (NTU) is investigating one of its tenured professors following online allegations that he had plagiarised his former student's final year project in a research paper.

On Tuesday , a user on online forum Reddit claimed that a 2018 paper published by Associate Professor Qu Jingyi is similar to a paper by then NTU student Wang Yueming written in 2014.

According to NTU's website, Assoc Prof Qu joined the university in 2010 and is currently the Head of Chinese and Deputy Director of Centre for Chinese Language and Culture at NTU's School of Humanities. He holds a doctorate degree from Peking University and the University of Wisconsin-Madison, and has received scholarships and awards, such as the Fulbright Scholarship and NTU’s Nanyang Education Award.

“The School of Humanities is investigating the allegations, and it would be inappropriate to comment further while the investigation is ongoing.”
