New NTU rules let students cut ties with predatory advisers
New NTU rules let students cut ties with predatory advisers
2023-11-20
At National Taiwan University, grad students can now unilaterally cut ties with a sexually abusive adviser. The school has updated its rulebook on academic advising, after Taiwan’s #MeToo movement pushed the conversation on sexual misconduct. Under the revised regulations, grad students are allowed to part ways with their advisor, if a gender equity committee agrees that the professor behaved inappropriately toward them.

The previous regulations did not allow students to unilaterally end their advisory relationships. What we hope now is for the newly added Article 6 to empower students who are sexually harassed or assaulted, to give them a chance to seek remedies. Through the new Article 6, students can go to their school department and say, “I want to end this relationship with a professor who sexually harassed me.”
Previously, only professors could terminate the student-adviser relationship, and any ongoing research work would be attributed solely to the professors. The new rules state that, in the event of a dispute, the academic department must mediate between student and teacher, achieving an agreement on research publication rights within a set period of time.

台大修法! 研究生遭性騷可換狼師.保住論文
2023-11-20
今年5月起，國內#MeToo事件頻傳，連學校也難以倖免，近期台灣大學在教務會議中，通過"論文指導教授與研究生互動準則修正草案"，若指導教授對研究生有不當行為，經學校性平會決議成立，研究生可主動終止指導關係，還可以保住論文。

“舊版的條文規範是說，當研究生想跟老師終止關係時，我從來沒有機會直接單方面終止，所以現行我們就希望，透過這個增設的第六條，可以去保障說，如果老師對學生性騷擾，性侵害了，學生有機會去自力救濟，藉由這個第六條的新增，去跟學校系所主張說，我要跟這個可能對我進行騷擾，對我進行壓迫的老師說結束關係”
過去只有教授能要求終止指導研究生，研究成果都歸指導教授所有，但未來發生爭議時，系所在一定期間內需要協調雙方簽屬「雙方可共同發表原研究計畫成果」協議書或「原研究計畫成果發表權為其中一人所有」協議書，以保障研究生權益。
