Comment: Identify "pheasant University" look at the domain name tail

The United States should look for "edu" Britain to look for "ac.uk".

Tang June's "education gate" incident sparked a high degree of concern at home and abroad about "http://www.aliyun.com/zixun/aggregation/12444.html" > Pheasant University. 19th, the Ministry of Education Foreign Regulatory Information network published 33 foreign countries more than 10,000 regular schools list, to these "pheasant University" blow. However, recently, some experts said that a more simple way to identify the authenticity of the school, that is the domain name. Because the education institutions in all countries have exclusive domain names and strict management, "pheasant University" can not apply to the exclusive domain name, so, such as a "university" official website as ". com" domain name, can be judged as "pheasant University" or Non-mainstream University.

Previously, the media from the United States Higher Education Accreditation Board (CHEA) and the Michigan State Department (Michigan and Oregon are regularly published in the "Diploma factory" list of the two states) obtained an incomplete list shows that there are about 1500 "pheasant universities" around the world, of which the United States tops the list of 855 figures. There are 87 in Britain, 18 in Canada, and 11 in Singapore and Australia, of which most "pheasant University" websites use Web sites containing "com", "net" or "org".

According to reporters, most countries in the world have their own legal education institutions (universities, etc.) with the exclusive domain name. In the United States, ". edu" is the exclusive domain name of the American educational institution, the website domain name of the regular university must be the end of ". edu", for example, the official website of Stanford University is "stanford.edu", "Pheasant University" cannot apply for ". edu" domain name at all. ". ac.uk" is the exclusive domain name of the British Educational Research Institute, for example, the official website of Cambridge University is "cam.ac.uk", "fake university" also cannot obtain ". ac.uk" domain name. In China, the exclusive domain name of the legal educational institution is ". edu.cn".

The reporter found that most of the "Pheasant University" hidden behind a huge chain of interests, including many Chinese people use ". com" domain name false registration to defraud Chinese students to seek improper rights and interests. Education experts said that the "pheasant University" used the "com" domain name, on the one hand, Edu and other domain name management strictly can not apply, on the other hand just caught the COM domain name management Confusion of the short board, fill information, disguised as a formal university, cheat uninformed parents and students trust.
