Thu Dau Mot University wrongly collected more than 37 billion VND in tuition fees, remitted them to the budget

Regarding the fact that Thu Dau Mot University illegally collected more than 37 billion VND from students in the two school years 2020-2021 and 2021-2022, on the afternoon of October 15, Mr. Nguyen Quoc Cuong, Chairman of the Board of Thu Dau Mot University, said that the entire amount had been paid into the budget.

According to Mr. Cuong, the reason the wrongly collected money was not returned to the students was because at that time, the school was not autonomous and the budget was still subsidized, so when the audit conclusion was available, the school returned it to the budget.

Previously, the state audit conducted an audit at Thu Dau Mot University in the 2015-2021 period and discovered that more than 37 billion VND was illegally collected.

Immediately after the state audit announced its conclusion, the People's Committee of Binh Duong province directed Thu Dau Mot University to refund the students (if unable to refund, it would be paid to the budget) the tuition fees collected in excess of the prescribed level. After that, the school paid the entire amount of illegally collected money to the state budget.

In addition, the People's Committee of Binh Duong province also requested to consider handling collective and individual responsibilities (if any) for Thu Dau Mot University due to collecting tuition fees for regular university programs, university programs using the continuing education method, master's and doctoral training programs in the 2020-2021 and 2021-2022 school years higher than the prescribed ceiling.
