online@purdueexponent.orgDear Editors,
I have reported to Purdue University officials human rights abuses at National Cheng Kung University (NCKU) in Tainan, Taiwan. Though I have sent several emails, with full documentation, thus far I have not received what I would consider an adequate response.
As you know Purdue has long-standing academic exchanges with NCKU. As an American citizen I don't believe an American university should maintain academic exchanges with a university that has, with apparent impunity, a documented history of human rights violations.
I don't think university exchanges should be based solely on economic interests, but on academic and human rights principles. If you as concerned students, citizens, and journalists are interested in this issue, please inform me and I will submit necessary documentation. Not only will you help to expose this case, but also insure American (and other foreign) faculty are treated equitably in the future.
Sincerely,
Richard de Canio
