Former university president suspended

Ji Baocheng, a former president of Renmin University of China, has been suspended from the Party for two years and has been put on a good-behavior notice after being investigated for misbehavior, a newspaper reported.

Ji, 70, was disciplined for violating Party rules, a phrase that generally refers to corruption, and his retirement benefits were reduced, People's Daily reported.

"The result means that if Ji has no further violation of Party discipline, or there are no new findings of misbehavior in the two years after he was put under supervision, he would keep his membership," said Ren Jianming, a professor of public administration at Beijing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics who researches anti-corruption and governance.
