 | | In the 1950s, most of this university was moved to Xi'an, an ancient capital city in northwest China, and became Xi'an Jiaotong University; the part of the university remaining in Shanghai was renamed Shanghai Jiaotong University. |
 | | In April 2000, a merger of Xi'an Jiaotong University, Xi'an Medical University, and Shaanxi Institute of Finance and Economics (formerly administered by the Ministry of Education, the Ministry of Public Health, and the People's Bank of China) was announced as the new Xi'an Jiaotong University. |
 | | Beyond university mergers and enrollment expansion, the most significant specific reforms to China's system of higher education include the appearance of private institutions, the adjustment of institutional governance, the introduction of tuition, and the cancellation of guaranteed job placement for graduates. |
