Chinese students represent approximately one-third of all international students, and their presence has grown by 56.68 percent since the 2012-2013 academic year.
Unfortunately for U.S. colleges and universities, which have struggled to monitor and identify the fraud, reports seem to suggest that cheating only continues once many of these students are on campus or in the U.S. Schools like the University of Arizona, Ohio State University, and the University of Iowa have experienced cheating scandals involving Chinese students.
The federal government arrested Liu Cai, a Chinese student who attended UCLA, and four other California residents of Chinese descent for using fake passports to impersonate Chinese nationals to take the TOEFL exam, which is required to obtain a student visa.
Fulbeck began to realize that a significant number of students engaging in such behavior were Chinese international students.
Fulbeck later met with UC Santa Barbara's Vice-Chancellor and some aggrieved students, but ultimately blamed the school for failing to deal with the increasing number of Chinese students and educating them on American classroom and education standards.
Paul Spickard, a history professor at UC-Santa Barbara and member of the faculty admissions committee, told the L.A. Times that at a meeting, faculty were told that Chinese students account for one-third of all plagiarism cases on campus, despite only comprising 6 percent of the entire student population.
Spickard caught one Chinese student's plagiarism after the student used old British English colloquialisms and citations that were over 50 years old.
