Fudan University has handed a dossier of dirty tricks by a rival Shanghai university to "educational authorities," a spokesman announced on Shanghai Television on Monday.

"Fudan will leave it to the authorities to decide," Fudan spokesman Fang Ming said on Tuesday.

The spat between the rival universities kicked off on Friday with an announcement on the official Fudan microblog on sina.com warning excellent out-of-town candidates against being duped by "some Shanghai university" into giving up applying to Fudan.

Forwarded online several thousand times, the message was deleted as of on Tuesday.

In the announcement, Fudan alleged admissions staff working for an unnamed university in southwest Shanghai had been giving false information to undergraduate candidates that their preadmission agreements with Fudan had been cancelled, advising them to apply elsewhere. The message was "fraudulent" and hurt the interests of students.

Internet users immediately surmised the fraudsters as Shanghai Jiao Tong University, who in return wrote four messages a day on Sina Weibo refuting the accusation as "unfounded."

"No one in our university's admission office has ever impersonated another university's staff to tell students that their admission agreements with that university were cancelled," Jiao Tong announced on its official website and official microblog on Saturday.

The accusation was "a vicious defamation" of Jiao Tong and such behavior was unacceptable, it stated. The four messages were also deleted by the university as of on Tuesday.

Fudan had deleted its Weibo messages itself, spokesman Fang told the Global Times.

"The announcement was just a warning to that university as well as to our candidates that such behavior would seriously affect our enrolled student quality," he told the Global Times in a previous interview.

The university had been alerted to the scam by candidates, he explained.

"Such cases occurred last year, but it was very rare," he said. "However, the number of cases has soared this year."

The phenomenon has existed for years, Xiong Bingqi, a Jiao Tong University researcher into China's higher education system, told the Global Times.

"It won't stop happening in the future if no measures are taken to tackle the existing problem in the university recruitment system," Xiong said.

"It appears that the fighting between the two top universities has stopped. But it was achieved through administrative means. The problem still exists."
