College staff probed for intern salary skimming

A college in the city of Xinyu, Jiangxi province, is being investigated after it was alleged online that staff have been skimming money from the students' internship salaries.

According to a statement from the Xinyu government on Wednesday, the suspects in the case have been identified and are under investigation.

The allegations came to light on Nov 10, after online sleuth Wang Hai posted a video to his 2 million followers on microblogging platform Sina Weibo, saying that some teachers and faculty at Jiangxi New Energy Technology Institute had been making a lot of money by skimming the intern salaries of their own students.
