今日，美國亞利桑那州新聞臺Ktar新聞報道，一位來自中國的亞利桑那州立大學生程曉萌（Xiaomeng Cheng, 音譯）被指控入學申請作弊。
程，21歲，本月被國土安全調查局逮捕。被捕的還有來自馬薩諸塞州和賓夕法尼亞州的三名中國學生。
本月早些時候，美國國土安全局指控程曉萌在英文考試失敗三次後，作弊通過了英文水平考試。程是亞利桑那大學W.P.凱瑞商學院會計系學生。指控稱，程支付另一位中國學生，25歲的王月（Yue Wang, 音譯）1000美金籌款，僱傭其替考。據悉，王是一名在馬薩諸塞州劍橋的Hult國際商學院的學習的學生。
托福考試為美國9000多所高校所承認。國際學生需要通過該測試纔能夠獲得學生簽證，以及進入大多數學校入讀。考試前，所有的考生需要拍照。訴訟說，參加考試的人將會采取付費護照和信息來愚弄考試中心。
訴訟還說，這一替考行徑是在另一個學生身上發現的。考試人員發現一名名為YY的人員為其他學生替考。YY告訴調查人員，王提出，花900美元僱其替該生通過考試。YY身份不明。據悉，王因為曾經欺詐性考試被捕而找到YY替考。
王告訴調查人員，另外至少有兩個人僱傭她通過考試。這二人分別是東北大學的24歲張世坤（Shikun Zhang) 和賓夕法尼亞州立大學21歲的黃樂怡（Leyi Huang)。記錄顯示，張和黃各支付了王3000美元，二人學校分別要求托福最低分為92分和80分。相關證據證實了這一說法。
訴訟建議，程將面臨一個陰謀重罪。
Feds say Arizona State University student cheated to get into school
PHOENIX An Arizona State University student from China has been accused of cheating to gain entry into the school, a lawsuit said.
The suit filed earlier this month by the Department of Homeland Security alleged Xiaomeng Cheng used a test-taking scheme to pass an English proficiency test after failing at least three times.
The lawsuit alleged that Cheng an accounting student at ASUs W.P. Carey School of Business, according to the Phoenix New Times paid another Chinese student, Yue Wang, $1,000 to take it for her. Wang passed.
The Test of English as a Foreign Language is used at more than 9,000 schools in the United States. A passing grade is required for international students to receive a student visa and for entry into most schools.
Test-takers are photographed prior to the exam. The lawsuit said the test-takers would take a paying students passport and information to fool testing centers.
The lawsuit said the scheme was uncovered after another student, identified only as YY, was caught taking the test for someone else. YY told investigators Wang, a student at the Hult International Business School in Cambridge, Mass., had offered to pay her $900 for a passing grade on the test.
Wang told investigators she had been paid to take the test by at least two others. Photo evidence allegedly confirmed that claim.
The lawsuit recommended Cheng should face one count of felony conspiracy.
