In joint statement, university presidents call for communication between government, students (2014/03/28)

University presidents have mixed feels about the student protests. While most are pleased to see their students passionate about national affairs, the presidents are not happy to see the students skipping classes. 

As the Sunflower Movement continues to stir emotions, Shih Hsin University invited presidents of leading universities to join a seminar on topics such as democracy on school campuses and academic freedom. This is what a former president of National Taiwan University had to say about students skipping class to protest.

Chen Wei-jao
Former NTU President
Those in authority need to come out and solve this problem rather than letting the students continue to waste their time. The students have expressed their opinion. Now we should see whether this can be solved.

Chen Wei-jao says he is pleased to see students heeding national affairs but, like the other presidents, he does not support them skipping classes. Shih Hsin President Lai Ting-ming urged the students and the government to hold calm discussions.

Lai Ting-ming
Shih Hsin University President
University presidents are anxious because we want to solve this controversy. Frankly speaking, however, President Ma is the only person who can solve it. He is the only person who can talk to the students.

The university presidents issued a joint statement recommending that a civic organization not connected to any political party form a communication platform. It could bridge the government and the students and allow them to solve their differences.

“那現在就是這個有權力的人,要出來解決,不能讓那些同學一直虛耗,他們已經表達他們意見了,我們就應該要看看,這個是可以解決的”

雖然覺得學生關心國家事務是好,但陳維昭說,他和所有校長都一樣,不支持罷課的立場。世新大學校長-賴鼎銘更呼籲,學生和政府,應冷靜對談。

[[世新大學校長 賴鼎銘]]
“大學校長都很焦慮啦,因為我們真的很想化解這個爭議,講實在話能夠化解這爭議的,眼看目前只有馬總統,因為他是學生唯一的對話對象”

學運曠日費時延燒,六所國立大學校長,聯合發表聲明,建議透過不具政黨彩的團體,組成溝通平台,儘速化解政府與學生的意見分歧。
