Subject: Sex harassment accusation

I. The results of this case are based on the rules of gender equality.

II. The following results are sustained by the investigation of this committee.

According to the statement of all interviewed students, it showed consistence with the course (or procedure), the subject matter (or content), and the sequence of this incident are adoptable.
Before the incident, the relationship between the teacher and the student was good and friendly, so the committee excluded the possibility that the student intended to attract the teacher’s attention.
The testimony of the witness(es?) is adoptable and consistent with the student’s.
After the incident, the student apparently appeared to have social withdrawal, depression, weeping, and emotional trauma.

III. This committee presumed that this unfavorable situation is not good for the student’s learning at this college, so the committee suggests terminating the hiring contract of this teacher.

IV. After receiving this document, the teacher may appeal against this decision. If so, please submit the formal written appealing document within 20 days. The appeal can only be accepted once.

Dear Curtis:

Do you receive any decision from the gender equity committee?

If they delay in answering, you should send a letter to urge them.

The employment of a new English teacher by the Dept of Nursing was agreed by The Teacher's Evaluation Committee, although one of the representatives of our Center queried the correctness of this process. But Pr. [Professor] Tsai said this is a new project for they need a new teacher to responsible for the teaching of nursing English(?).

Don't hesitate if you think I can help you.

主　旨: No conclusion yet

Dear Dr. Peng,

Hi. No decision yet from Gender Equity Committee. On Wednesday I called the Counseling Center and spoke to Ms. Yung-hui. She said the decision was given to the president and was awaiting some action by the president before it would be sent to me. She said MAYBE I would receive the decision sometime next week. As usual, they are using delaying tactics to drag this process out too long. I called Dr. Lin to tell him of the further delay and told him to please be ready for as soon as I get the decision I want to meet him so we can start the legal process against everybody who is involved in the wrongdoing toward me.

Thank you for updating me on what's going on about the new English teacher process. I will make sure this remains a key point in my legal action against the school that they lied about why they did not renew my contract.

I'll contact you again as soon as I have the decision.

Regards,

Curtis

Hi Curtis:

The president Chung is on vacation or travelling around at Los Angeles from the late of July to August, and people said she will be back to office this week. Here you will know the reason of the delaying. If you do not send a legal letter to push them, the personnel office always not in a hurry and delayed as long as they can!

Since there seems merely no chance for you to go back to teach in the college now, If I were you, I will demand for compensation for the un-renewing decision of the authority of the college.

With Regards

主　旨： Re: You have to Push them

Hi Dr. Peng,

Thanks for the update on why there is this unnecessary delay in getting the decision. As I said earlier, this is more of the games they have been playing with me. I have been pushing them on my own because the lawyer has not recommended sending them a legal letter. He just tells me to wait. So, all I can do is keep on them myself with visits to the counseling center or phone calls. I will check the policy more closely, but as I remember they were supposed to conclude everything within two months and notify me of the result. It has already been nearly three months since the student submitted her accusation to the school. So, this could be another point against NTCN for violating the deadline. I will confirm with the lawyer.
I already concluded a while back that my best recourse will be to seek compensation from the college for what they did since it was apparent early on that they would delay the process as much as possible and try to prevent any chance of me returning to NTCN. The lawyer agreed earlier with this. So, I will seek the maximum compensation for this.

Regards,
Curtis

Hi Curtis:

Congratulation for getting a new job.

According to the rules about the accusation for sex harassment, three months are the longest time for the committee to make a conclusion. Actually, two months are the regular time course, but can be delayed for additional one month.

Please watching on your mail box from now on, or you can ask for receiving the document by yourself.
I guess the authority of the college will not give you the result untill the deadline.

With Regards
