报考硕士资格造假案的行政法思考

Analysis of the Case of Entry Qualification Forging from the Perspective of Administrative Law

中山大学因陈某变造大专学历考研,而宣布其研究生毕业证书无效并撤销其硕士学位的行为,不是以惩罚为目的的行政处罚行为,而是以恢复原有法律状态为目的的补救性行为,但又不符合补救性行为所要求的要件,并且陈某的变造行为造成后果的瑕疵已在其毕业时治愈,故中山大学不应、不能且无需对陈某作出处理。

Zhongshan University repealed Mr. Chen＇s degree because he forged his school records in junior college for graduate entrance examination. The university＇s action is not administrative punishment but remedial action aiming at primary legal state. But the action was not in accord with the qualification and the flaw had been cured. Therefore, the university should not and need not punish Mr. Chen.
