The University of Florida has banned a student, Nongnong “Leticia” Zheng, a senior marketing major, from campus for three years due to involvement in an illegal plot to ship drugs and toxins to China. The scheme, which implicated a university employee and several students, including the president of UF’s Chinese Students and Scholars Association, involved fraudulently purchasing thousands of biochemical samples of dangerous drugs and toxins. The multi-million dollar operation is under investigation by the Justice Department. Among the substances shipped was a toxin that causes whooping cough. The incident has drawn attention to concerns over foreign influence in universities, particularly from China.
