These two days, a Zhihu this question under the answer to the fire.
When I first went to college, due to poor family conditions, I was particularly frugal, every day in the cafeteria to eat no more than six dollars, breakfast two doughnuts a cup of soybean milk, a dollar two. Lunch and dinner, our school's cafeteria is able to play half of the dishes, so each time on 40 cents rice plus three half of the dishes, two dollars or so.
At night, if you are hungry after studying, you can add a tea egg at most.
The netizen "Shannon" said, so for a while. Suddenly, one day, he received an email from the campus card management center asking him to go and get a living allowance of 360 yuan.
"I was baffled, I never told anyone about my family situation, even though my parents took out a loan for the tuition, but I never told anyone in college that my family was in a bad situation."
Shannon ran to the One Card Management Center and asked, "Why am I being given a living allowance? I've never applied for it, you must be mistaken!"
The staff member said that the school monitors each student's OneCard spending in the cafeteria, and "if you spend less than $200 a month, you'll automatically be hit with a living allowance."
The remarks brought Shannon to tears instantly.
"There's even this kind of operation ......" Shannon's answer received 40,000 "likes" on Zhihu.
"I love my alma mater, CSU!" Shannon ends her story by saying, "There are so many great things about my alma mater that I wholeheartedly identify with; the atmosphere, the intelligence, the focus, the understatement, and so much more. And this moment was a recognition straight from the heart."
"And schools like this, with heart." "Warm, that's positive energy with wisdom!" "CSU is really humane and awesome ......" on this "warm + wisdom" story, netizens have praised.
"CSU just a simple computer program to solve the opposites of self-esteem and economic distress of the students. Humanistic care, but also the silent education of the students, great praise!" Netizen "Allied bell" said.
The University of Science and Technology of China, Minister of Academic Department Dong Yu said that this method is called "invisible funding", is the University of Science and Technology of China in 2004 in the country's first colleges and universities, the purpose is to allow poor students to receive financial assistance in a more dignified manner.
"We use a set of algorithms to do this, there are indeed some 'loopholes' in the early stage, such as some girls who spend less because of dieting and slimming, there are also two people who work together, one using the card to play meals and the other using the card to buy groceries, as well as a small number of local students who often go home to eat, or some of the students eat off-campus, and so on. off-campus meals and so on. All of these to a certain extent cause the data automatically generated by the one-card database to be inconsistent with the real situation." Dong Yu said.
To this end, CSU has improved the data statistics method since 2005, using the network to conduct a detailed survey on the psychological and family status of new students, and integrating the student life situation usually grasped by the faculties and departments to establish a database of impoverished students that is updated every semester. Through detailed statistics and optimized big data analysis, we screen out the "bad data" that cannot reflect the real situation, and provide financial support for the truly poor students.
It is understood that from 2004 to now, CSU has "implicitly funded" 40,000 poor students, the cumulative amount of funding reached 6 million yuan. In recent years, many colleges and universities across the country to CSU "to learn", this "low-key and warm" approach has been implemented in more and more college campuses.
