Student gains win over ministries

BEIJING - A Tsinghua University law student has finally had some success in her quest for information about the duties of government deputy ministers.

Li Yan, a graduate student in Tsinghua University's Law School, said she will drop a case against three government agencies after the departments disclosed some of the information she needed for an academic paper she was preparing.

Li said she had reached agreement with the Ministry of Science and Technology, the Ministry of Land and Resources and the Ministry of Education after receiving information on the responsibilities of their deputy ministers.
