Safety Agreement Raises Labor ConcernsOn July 25, someone claiming to be a graduate of Xinjiang Agricultural University posted on Zhihu, a Chinese question-and-answer platform, describing the university's long-running labor practice program.
A sociologist from Xinjiang University told The Epoch Times that the agreement appears inconsistent with Chinese labor regulations and reflects an imbalance of power between universities, employers, and students.
Questions Over University's Labor ProgramThe agreement does not identify Xinjiang Agricultural University or specify the worker's identity.
The Epoch Times reached out to Xinjiang Agricultural University for comment but did not receive a response by publication time.
