The seeds of this sinister character & career assassination attempt were actually planted several months before Alice's false sexual harassment accusation. About 7 months earlier I was told confidentially by one of my American former colleagues at the nursing university that I should be on the alert that Dr. Tsay was trying to gather support for my ouster as the sole remaining foreign instructor there.
He told me, however, that she did not have the support of the majority of other teachers on the Teachers Committee that approved contract renewals every academic year. Shortly after his phone call, I was also reassured by one of the senior Taiwanese professors on the committee that I had her and others' support and not to worry. I was at first surprised to hear this news as I had not gotten any unusual complaints about my teaching or other work there and, in the 4 years I taught at the school I had received mostly good to very positive evaluations from students. Mysteriously, however, I had never been evaluated by any of my supervisors - verbally or in writing - nor had I gotten any negative feedback from the English group chair or department chairperson at any of our staff meetings during those four years.
It wasn't until almost three years after my world as I knew it suddenly came crashing down that I learned of another early plot to scuttle my employment at the nursing university. A special woman I've known for 8 years now, and the strongest supporter of my innocence and fighter against the injustice I've suffered, happened upon a February 2007 online posting by a nursing university student calling on other students to cooperate together and submit complaints to the Office of Academic Affairs in an effort to halt my coming contract renewal for the next academic year.
I had witnessed students collaborating together on end-of-course teacher evaluations which were supposed to be done under supervised conditions and independently, but instead were often given to students to take home for a few days or a week and then returned. Unpopular teachers sometimes didn't return for the next semester or academic year after being gang-reamed by a posse of unhappy students. This was the first time I had witnessed the electronic version of their character assaults on a teacher.
Here is the original Chinese version of the post (where they refer to me by the first part of my Chinese name - Ke) and a rough Google English translation:
