A Taiwanese educator familiar with the mainland education market is less impressed. He points out that although Sheng Da operates its campus and classes independently, it is still not an independently incorporated organization. The top administrator and all faculty appointments are determined by Zhengzhou University, which also grants the diplomas. In effect, Sheng Da has been donated to Zhengzhou University.
但瞭解大陸高校市場的一位台灣教育界人士說，昇達學院與鄭州大學合作，雖然校地、運作都獨立於鄭州大學之外，但仍是二級法人，院長、師資都得由鄭州大學決定，文憑也是鄭州大學發，等於把學校捐給大陸了。
