Dear Curtis,

That is so odd. After reading the first attached message, I found that this girl may have some problem with her mind. For example, according to her article on her blog dated June 26th, she clearly wrote that she thanked NTCN for terminating your contract and expelling you from the college. She did it not only for herself, but for new coming students who may possibly be taught by you. Inconsequently, from your first attached message, on July 11th, she later posted that she is happy to have a chance to see you on campus. According to her articles on her blog, she sorrowed over "this sex harassment you made to her" which made her life gloomy and depressing. However, someone or something must be hidden behind the true story. On the same date, Tuesday, June 26th, she had a good mood to have dinner at a famous steak house. Remember, it was two days before the "trial (this is what she called in her article)" of the gender equality committee. Seeing her behaviors, I don't see any one of her effects mentioned in the results letter from the committee. Now, the truth is blurred, and I am really confused.   

Your appeal letter is so realistic, I mean the tone and words, that I hope they can understand your points clearly.  I hope the truth about this case will come to light.  Honestly speaking, after understanding your case, I see students with different color lenses now.  How can such a young girl do such a thing intentionally?  I just don't understand.

Dear Adeline,

  Yes...there is a lot that is strange and confusing about the student. What it all boils down to is there is something wrong with her and that has played some part in her making such a ridiculous and unfounded accusation. My guess is it's part just meanness (from her and some of her classmates who are behind this), part immaturity to realize the magnitude of what she's done and the damage to me, and part mental/psychological/emotional illness. Whatever influenced her, the fact remains she has done something very wrong and, yes, my feelings toward the students have also changed since the accusation. How could anybody, particularly such young girls, do such a horrible and dirty thing as this?

  "She did it not only for herself, but for new coming students who may possibly be taught by you." She said something similar in her accusation. What she really is talking about is she thinks she is helping some current students who did not pass English and she is helping any future ones who might not pass either. I'm guessing that Dr. Tsai said something like this to her and some other students, plus some other not-so-flattering things about me in front of the students, and this probably emboldened them to take some action...knowing they had her support. The moving of my position to the nursing department fits in perfectly with all of this. Dr. Tsai nor any of those bad students wanted to see me teaching them in this new configuration.

  As for her July 11 message (see Debunking The Deception and The Ignorance), she was not talking about me. She sent that message for some teacher named "Rafael", I guess her teacher during some English camp outside NTCN she attended. I guess she had a nice steak dinner before my "trial" to celebrate the already-fixed decision to find me guilty. This is almost beyond belief what the student and the other conspirators at NTCN have done. For what? Their morals and integrity are very, very low and corrupted to do such a thing as this. I dedicated myself to my work and helping all the students to really improve their English and improve themselves...and this is the kind of thanks I get for my 4 years of hard work! None of the them had the courtesy or respect to talk to me about the students' feedback about my teaching...nor did they have the same to support me as a fellow teacher and tell the students they should stop being lazy, improve their poor attitudes and study habits, and pass the class on their merits and not expect a teacher to pass undeserving students. Plus, I volunteered my time to participate in that outside activity for the school, especially at the encouragement of the president. What a setup!

Curtis

Dear Dr. Peng,

Hi. I've often been so busy these past few weeks since starting the new job. It is a very time-consuming job...mostly because of all the time spent copying supplementary materials the school encourages us to make and the students almost demand. Plus, a lot of time spent the first two weeks with observing other teachers and training.

Thanks for the helpful information on what's really going on with the committee. As I told you on the phone, I suspected the whole process has been controlled and fixed by those who want this result. And when they added the part in the letter about the student's emotional and psychological condition to justify not renewing my contract, well, it made everything they are doing so clear and obvious. It is so incredible and sickening how low certain people at NTCN have gone to get me out and achieve their plans. They could have prevented all these bad things if they had just done things the proper way...but I guess it's not the way they usually do things and less interesting or fun for them. It's shocking that I worked hard and dedicated myself to NTCN and helping students in many ways, and this is the "thanks" I get for all my hard work and loyalty.

I sent the appeal letter and documents to the lawyer yesterday and asked him to call you because you have some important information for him. I have attached a copy of what I wrote for the appeal.

Regards,

Curtis

Subject: Import about the appeal event

Dear Curtis:

   

   I was told that you are not under the protection or regulation of the Teacher' Law, for you are not a formal teacher employed though the University Law.  The explanation is revealed by the personnel office to the committee. Therefore, it is very unfavourable to you, you probably may not be relieved from the teacher appeal committee.  

  I talked to the lawyer, he said the alternative way is take an accusation.

  You'd better ask for judgement through the accusation and discuss with your lawyer, but not though appeal inside the  college. 

  I am sorry to inform you about this, for I never thought you are not suitable for the Teacher's 

law.  

                                                                                          Regards

                                                                                                Peng  7/31/2007

主　旨： Re: Import about the appeal event

Dear Dr. Peng,

  Although this is not good news, thank you just the same for alerting me promptly to this unfavorable revelation. It seems very "tricky" to me to only find out now...four years after I started at NTCN...that I may in fact not be considered a "regular" teacher covered under the Teacher's Law.
  When you say "the alternative way is take an accusation", do you mean that now I should seek "mediation" through the Council of Labor Affairs? Because, if I am not covered under the Teacher's Law then according to the staff I spoke to at the CLA then I am eligible for free mediation assistance through the CLA. I will speak to the lawyer Dr. Lin about this on Wednesday.
  No matter which "law" I'm covered by, the key point of what the school did wrong remains the same: They improperly decided not to renew my contract, first giving me notice my contract would be renewed by approving my Academic Year 2007-2008 schedule and giving it to me; second, they then changed their original decision without giving me proper notice...not informing me until June 27. Plus, there is still the matter of what Dr. Tsai did improperly to influence the committee to change their original decision on my contract renewal. Looks like it means I will have to pursue this through the CLA and mediation if the appeal committee agrees with NTCN's response.

Regards,
Curtis

Dear Curtis:

  Because of the complicate rules about your employment at our college, and the college may never have experiences about managing the case like yours. Since the authority of our college is Min of Education, if the M of Edu. make sure (as the personnel office said) that your situation is not under the Teacher's Law, I don't know whether the mediation of CLA will be useful. 
  Please discuss with your lawyer, let him find the most advantageous way for you.
Be careful.

                                                                                 With regards

The Tally So Far After 3 Years: 5 Lawyers, 2 Judges and No Decision

  Late Wednesday night, during another "lively" email exchange of differing opinions on my civil lawsuit, my attorney ended his final reply by declaring "I cannot agree the way you treat your lawyers and terminate the mandate here," becoming the 4th lawyer in the 3 years of the lawsuit to quit. All of the lawyers were provided through the Legal Aid Foundation in Taipei. I wonder if this is a common occurrence for attorneys in Taiwan to just up and quit when the client doesn't always see eye-to-eye with them.
  So the "here today, gone tomorrow" tally in this saga stands at 5 lawyers (add one who was the first to take my administrative case and I requested he be replaced) and 2 judges since 2008. With each new lurch in this case, it becomes clearer there is something more going on than just a battle over a simple, baseless false accusation.
  There is still no word on a new judge or the next court hearing date...already going on 3 months since the last hearing and 5 months since the previous judge declared I had 2 choices: either drop my lawsuit before he issued a ruling, or lose the suit because the judge had already decided the defendants were not guilty of any of the charges. This he had decided without ever allowing me to testify and present my evidence in court, while allowing 2 of the defendants to testify, including the accuser who spent almost all 40+ minutes of her time playing the "crying game" in another of her and the nursing university's dirty tricks to obscure the truth and unduly influence the court.
  On Jan. 13, the administrative high court here dismissed my appeal of the nursing university's sexual harassment decision on "procedural" grounds, meaning they won't proceed to hear the facts of the case because it doesn't meet their criteria. The court claims it is still a matter for the nursing university to handle.
