To Colleagues of National Cheng Kung University,
For colleagues and officials who need further information about human rights violations at National Cheng Kung University attached is a scan of a summary sent to a Taiwan teachers' association (7-20-99).
I hope and expect that wiser heads will finally prevail at our university to insure closure of this case based on international human rights principles, including the right to an apology; the right to remedy (institutional changes to prevent further abuses, especially on the part of committee members who routinely passed a dismissal that egregiously violated human rights); compensation for time, money (travel costs, court costs, etc.), and academic productivity lost during the eleven years fighting this case, four of which interrupted my career at NCKU; appropriate and commensurate penalties against officials involved in these abuses, whether from negligence or for whatever other reasons; and punitive damages against the university for officials who willfully defied laws and/or Ministry rulings by obstructing enforcement of those laws and/or rulings.
Sincerely,
Richard de Canio
Department of Foreign Languages and Literature
National Cheng Kung University
Tainan, Taiwan
