東海啟動校長遴選 (待補)


沈哥台中市東海大學校友會
東海啟動校長遴選
我說過目前的困境顯見過去的遴選辦法不周全
歡迎各界賢達提供意見
有人建議應比照其他大學增設教師適當比例的同意條款
個人覺得是有必要
董事會應更透明開明以符師生與校友之期待
5月2號教師會與校友總會并董事會將舉辦論壇
討論東海發展的展望,歡迎各位參加!
詳情會陸續公告…



郭應哲 日前有機會與廖勝雄學長,經日長談,廖學長除了曾經歷任李扁連宋機密要職外,在王校長時也曾担任三年多學務長,有一定視野,並關心東海。他對校長遴選有兩個意見:1,我們應主動出擊,尋覓人才。極為優秀之人士,往往不願意做「應徵」的行為。2,校友們等,不乏有人這麼感覺,若有才智層級出眾人士,前來遞件,但似乎往往得不到董事會青睞,比如剛接高鐵董事長者(以上依我記憶)。……東海董事會是獨立董事會,基於公共負責精神,不只校長遴選,本來就應在校務上如沈哥說的「透明開明」,但數十年來均背道而馳,這或者是我們冰凍三尺的原因之一。但遴選的透明開明,去年平安夜下午茶,咱們曾董事長有明白表示,依相關法令,遴選過程不能公開,不知道這一點,在法令適用上、遴選的切合本校現實需求上,董事會及全體東海人,有何看法??……東海是「法人」,不能以「自然人」之私意,篡奪「法人」之公共意志,這麼說,在目下台灣高教現況,也許陳意過高,但東海應「取法乎上」,這是小弟的淺見。……感謝標哥的用心!!









徐錚兄4月7日晚---台灣時間---給我的信之一部分:主張遴選的公開程度應該受限,保護隱私,防止新校長受制於既有的制度的壓迫 (這是一種解釋):

For lack of time, Hanching, I have to write in English. Sorry.

Given the way things are moving (the fight with Tang/struggle for Tunghai), I don't see the significance of my letter to Minister Wu, and hence I don't see what purpose it can serve by releasing this letter. More to the point, I cannot and will not play any role in the upcoming 校長遴選.


We can talk more, but for now, allow me to simply share these quick thoughts with you:



1. Selection of new president: I'm pessimistic about the whole thing. First, people pin way too much hope on the (new) president, regardless who this person may be. Given the current system (the Board, the faculty, and the administration) no president can deliver salvation to Tunghai as it needs now. 

Second, I doubt that any good prospect would apply, given the current situations surrounding Tunghai (including the Board, the faculty, and the alumni). 

Third, 校長遴選制度「教授治校」:教授、行政人員、校友、社會公正人士、教育部代表等,with open process and public presentation... is not the right way. It can only preserve the status-quo, which is not what Tunghai needs at this point. By the same token, the faculty association is not the best source for ideas of reform - they can only preserve and promote their own best interest. This is what I'm familiar with and agree to: 一向以 自由市場導向的美國大學,在面臨校長出缺時,先由董事會組織「校長遴選委員會」,成員組成除了董事與教授,校友、行政人員、社區人士甚至學生代表皆可參 與。校長遴選委員會從候選人中挑選三至五名進入候選名單,送請董事會投票並任命。遴選過程通常為黑箱作業,(required to protect the privacy of the candidates) 或僅於決選時公佈候選人名單,但是委員會積極把 關與自動向外尋求合適人選,與臺灣由欲參選者自行報名之方式極為不同。
