History

edit

NEAU was established in 1948 originally as the Northeast Agricultural Institute (东北农学院).[1] In January 1950, the institute was renamed Harbin Agricultural Institute (哈尔滨农学院).[1] In October 1950, Shenyang Agricultural Institute (沈阳农学院) merged with Harbin Agricultural Institute, and the original name, Northeast Agricultural Institute, was restored.[2]

In February 1994, Northeast Agricultural Institute merged with Heilongjiang Institute of Agricultural Administration (黑龙江省农业管理干部学院) to form Northeast Agricultural University.[2]

Controversies

edit

2008 Brucellosis Outbreak

edit

In 2008, Northeast Agricultural University experienced a significant Brucellosis (Bang's disease) outbreak within its animal medicine department.[5] An investigation uncovered that faculty had purchased infected goats for laboratory use without obtaining the necessary quarantine certificates.[5] Supervision during laboratory tests was also inadequate, as teachers neglected to conduct on-site quarantine checks and allowed students to work without protective clothing, violating laboratory protocol.[5] This negligence led to 28 individuals, including students and one teacher, contracting the disease.[5] The university's dean and party secretary of the animal medicine department were dismissed as a result.[5] The university subsequently issued an apology and provided compensation (30,000 RMB) to affected individuals.[5]
