Dear Curtis

  I am sorry that I did not translate those document in time.

  But Adeline would have done better job. 

  I don't think the college will confess that the harassment is the reason of the unemployment, never! The only reason of them is the contract was ended, and there has no plan to heir a teacher to teach English courses. But it is not true, the advertisement on personnel Web of the college is a strong evidence, and the new teacher will take place of your courses left.

  You have to prepare for the legal case.

Subject: How are you

Dear Curtis:

   How is the conclusion of the committee of equal right of both gender?   

   I heard that the English teacher that take the position of yours is employed by

 the Department of Nursing, this case will be approved by the Evaluation committee of

 Teacher next Wednesday. The authority just shift the teaching position from the General 

 Education Center to the Dept of Nursing to pretend (and announce) that the teaching plan of your

 position is closed.  

   The explanation of MOE that the position of yours is not under the protection of Teacher' Law

 might discourage you very much, but only you can accuse for the unfair events happened on you. 

   Is there anything I can do for you?

   Have you discussed with the Lawyer?

                                                                                  With Regards

Dear Dr. Peng,

  Thank you very much for checking on me to see how I'm doing. I'm holding up okay but sometimes a bit angry again that the committee is taking so long to give their decision. I have not received anything yet...but I stopped by the counseling center on Monday and they told me I should get the decision next week. No matter what the decision, I will proceed with a legal case against the school, the NTCN president, Dr. Tsai, the student and anybody else who is involved and subject to justice.
  I haven't been able to do anything yet because the lawyer keeps telling me just wait until the gender equity committee decision...then we can proceed with the legal case. So, I am just waiting for this. I am definitely NOT discouraged and I am still very determined to fight to the end to clear my name, reputation and get justice for what's been done wrong to me. Thanks to the encouragement and help of you, Adeline and the lawyer I remain committed to going all the way with this.
  As soon as I have the decision, I will call you.

Sincerely,
Curtis

English Translation of Teachers Appeal Committee Response

official letters

 

FROM: 周 艾琳

TO: Diggs Curtis

Tuesday, August 7, 2007 9:18 PM

Dear Curtis,

I'll try to summarize the attached official letters and suggest that you have to talk to Dr. Lin because I think the college try to avoid your appeal to the MOE and Presidential Office by using the excuse of your contract which was not based on the Teachers' Law, but the project-based hiring. 

Contract appeal response 1 & 2:

From: The Appealing Committee of our College

To: Curtis

Subjects: The committee cannot accept your appealing for your hiring is not based on the Teachers' Law. 

Explanation:

1. Based on the rules of appealing of our College, the committee will always deal with the appealing matters.

2. The committee received your appeal on July 10, 2007.

3. According to the official letter dated 24th July from the MOE told by our College, it said that your hiring is project-based which cannot apply the Teachers' Law.

4. The committee will not accept any unfitted appealing which mentions in the above item 2.

5. Your qualification seems not to be accepted in this case.

6. The committee will not deal with your appealing.

7. Your attached documents will be returned.

Contract appeal response 3:

From: The MOE

To: NTCN

Subject: about Curtis W. Diggs' unfair treatment at NTCN

Explanation:

1. The MOE received the official letter dated 13th July from the Executive Yuan about Curtis W. Diggs' matter.

2. This appealing had been sent to NTCN on 29th June. NTCN responsed that Mr. Diggs' hiring is out of Teachers' Law, that means, his hiring is project-based. NTCN had given Mr. Diggs a notice saying the contract will be determined in the coming academic year. About the accusation of student, the College had handled it by holding a hearing. Also, the teacher's evaluation of Mr. Diggs has been enclosed for reference.

3. Mr. Diggs' position is inclued in College project, not tenure. So the College can determine his contract without applying the Teachers' Law.

4. The regulation of hiring project-based staff is enclosed.

I am so sorry that the College clutched the point that your position cannot apply the Teachers' Law. With this situation, you have no stance to fight for your appealing. But they ignored your right to have the notice of determination 60 days (?) before the expiration date of your contract. If this is mentioned in your contract. Also, regarding the accusation from student against you, the College didn't give you enough time to prepare and protect yourself. I am not sure if the College gave you the result of the hearing and the investigation. Did they give you any report or something like that? Of course, there must be something you think which is on your side. I hope you can talk to Dr. Lin or Dr. Peng, perhaps they can light you up in this darkness. 

Regards,

Adeline
