Central News (CNA reporter Chen Chih-chung, Taipei, 23rd) The Higher Education Union held a press conference today accusing Nanya Institute of Technology of bullying and forcing out teacher Wu Kuo-hui. The school stated it has done everything possible to assist Teacher Wu, but his professional and administrative abilities could not match needs, so they could only lay him off according to existing regulations.
The Higher Education Union held a press conference pointing out that Nanya Institute of Technology, located in Zhongli District, Taoyuan City, was previously involved in a fraud case. Wu Kuo-hui testified at the Investigation Bureau as a witness, and was subsequently transferred to another unit by the school and maliciously left without classes to teach.
Chang Chih-lun, Director of the Union's Organization and Training Department, said Wu Kuo-hui originally belonged to the General Education Center. In year 111, he was sent by the school to "support" the Department of Leisure and Hospitality Management. The following year, the school illegally laid him off on the grounds of having no classes to schedule. The dismissal proposal was rejected by the Ministry of Education twice, yet the school still refused to let Wu Kuo-hui return to the General Education Center.
Wu Kuo-hui, who attended the press conference, said that since serving as a witness, he has been forced to go to school 6 days a week, spending over 40 hours on campus without receiving overtime pay or compensatory time off. He also believes he is not an isolated case, claiming Nanya Institute has continuous scandals and hopes the government will exercise strict control.
In response, Nanya Institute explained via a text statement that the school has class scheduling guidelines, and teachers are given priority to teach courses matching their expertise based on their total merit score. Wu Kuo-hui has ranked last in his department's merit score in recent years, hence having no classes in the 112 and 113 academic years. In the 114 academic year, because a teacher applied for early retirement, Wu Kuo-hui was assigned 4 hours. However, the school still paid his salary without harming his rights.
The school pointed out that Wu Kuo-hui's basic teaching requirement is 12 hours, but he only taught 4 hours, so according to regulations, he was sent to the personnel section to enter the dismissal process. However, the school supplemented measures for insufficient courses, hoping he would use his spare time for tutoring and club guidance to offset hours, but Wu Kuo-hui did not apply.
The school emphasized that it has done its utmost to assist by inquiring with teaching and administrative units one by one, but because Wu Kuo-hui's expertise is too narrow and his administrative capabilities do not match any unit's needs, under the condition of insufficient competency, the school can only proceed with placement and dismissal procedures according to existing Ministry of Education regulations.
