Most people support Tsinghua University's decision not to accept students who benefited from Sichuan province's score-boosting policy, a Web survey suggests.

The prestigious university said last week it will not recognize the extra 20 points awarded to Sichuan students certified as "class-two athletes", stating a large number of certificates had been faked.

Although the university has refused to accept the certificates since 2008, the move this year resulted in criticism online, including accusations of discrimination.
