Cai Rongsheng, head of the admission office of Beijing-based Renmin University of China, is under investigation, Ministry of Education spokeswoman Xu Mei told reporters at a Thursday press briefing.

Xu did not elaborate why the official is being investigated, but media reports said that Cai is allegedly connected with corruption cases involving large amounts of money.

The ministry has asked the university to cooperate with the investigation, Xu said, adding that the government department demands a transparent admission system.

It will seriously investigate those no matter who is involved, Xu said.
