Prominent? Based on what? I've never heard of Jinggangshan University before. It's not even top 5 in Jiangxi province, where there ain't many universities.

From the HN guidelines:

"You can make up a new title if you want, but if you put gratuitous editorial spin on it, the editors may rewrite it."

The original title was just "editorial," but adding the word "prominent" does sound like spin to me.
