[ Global Network report] According to Taiwan's Zhongshi News Network on the 5th, plagiarism incidents broke out one after another in the master's thesis that Chen Mingtong, the head of Taiwan's security department, supervised when he was a professor at National Taiwan University. "Legislator" frequently called for Chen Mingtong to step down. Even DPP "legislator" Luo Zhizheng also said that Chen Mingtong should be considered whether to stay or not. DPP "legislator" Xu Zhijie suggested on the 4th that Chen Mingtong should apologize and resign first. Zeng Mingzong, the chief convener of the "Legislative Yuan" caucus of the Kuomintang , also said that student papers have been revealed one after another to be plagiarized, and the instructor Chen Mingtong has a great responsibility and must step down to apologize.
Chen Mingtong, who once served as the director of the National Development Institute of National Taiwan University, has mentored 173 masters and doctoral students in his scholar career. Taoyuan Mayor Zheng Wencan and former Hsinchu Mayor Lin Zhijian have had their degrees revoked due to plagiarism in their papers.
According to reports, Luo Zhizheng said that Chen Mingtong should go to National Taiwan University to explain the quality of the students' papers that Chen Mingtong guided. However, given Chen Mingtong's current status, this problem is very big, and it is necessary to consider the issue of Chen Mingtong's stay. Xu Zhijie believes that Chen Mingtong "can consider apologizing and resigning first."
Zeng Mingzong, the chief convener of the Kuomintang's "Legislative Yuan" caucus, said that student papers have been revealed one after another to be plagiarized, and the instructor Chen Mingtong has a great responsibility and must step down to apologize.
reported that Lai Shibao, the "legislator" of the blue camp, criticized Chen Mingtong for being a broker for politicians to wash away academic qualifications and ruining the credibility of National Taiwan University. However, Chen Mingtong will not step down, Tsai Adaptation will not resign as a "legislator", Zheng Wencan wants voters to become the party chairman, and the DPP authority leader Tsai Ing-wen wants to continue to control. "The DPP is left with a group of politicians who are trying to distribute power." Li Dewei, the "legislator" of the Blue Camp, believes that the DPP "legislator" asking Chen Mingtong to step down has the meaning of abandoning the car to protect the commander-in-chief, because the person who appointed Chen Mingtong is Tsai Ing-wen, and Tsai should bear greater responsibility.
People's Party "legislator" Qiu Chenyuan said that academic flaws caused by political affairs officials have caused poor social perception and public backlash, and called on Chen Mingtong to take political responsibility and "know where to advance and retreat."
You Ronghui, chairman of the Taiwan Private School Union, said that Taiwan's penalties for violating academic ethics are too light. At present, schools only revoke degrees, which is not enough. Judicial authorities should handle the case as "academic fraud." In particular, the punishment for deviant supervisors is too light. Overseas, professors who violate academic ethics may not be able to survive in academia for the rest of their lives.
