NTNU President Requests for Better Performances from Everybody

<p><font face="Arial">By Joanna Tung<br /> Campus Reporter</font></p> <p><font face="Arial">National Taiwan Normal University (NTNU) President Gou Yih-shun (郭義雄) requested NTNU teachers and students to work harder, although NTNU is experiencing a difficulty of budget cut.</font></p> <p><font face="Arial">&quot;As teachers, we need to know what students would need from us,&rdquo; Gou said.</font></p> <p><font face="Arial">The president made his remarks during the inauguration for NTNU&rsquo;s new department heads for different administrative and academic offices.&nbsp; A total of 25 professors took oath of their new offices.</font></p> <p><font face="Arial">Gou encouraged his fellow NTNU staff members to design and carry out as many sufficient courses as possible for students, and to re-design those unpopular courses completely, instead of simply changing required credits of them.</font></p> <p><font face="Arial">Meanwhile, the president mentioned that a complete stop of most campus activities at NTNU worried him very much.</font></p> <p><font face="Arial">&quot;A long vacation like this should be a good chance for students and professors to do research projects or work out the problems they have encountered during the past semester but I can rarely see them do so at NTNU,&rdquo; Gou said.</font></p> <p><font face="Arial">He said that NTNU is experiencing a budget cut by the Ministry of Education and this budget cut will leave no room for him to increase personnel because 70 percent of NTNU&rsquo;s annual budget was paid to its employees.&nbsp; The president said that since the budget is being reduced, NTNU will have to relieve more adjunct professors of their jobs because to compare with other full-time faculties, these adjunct professors would not be able to establish intimate relationship with students due to their limited time for NTNU.</font></p> <br /> <font size="2"> <table cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" width="504" border="1">
