Monday that the next one to two months will be the golden period for handling a dispute over the selection of a new National Taiwan University (NTU) president and that he wants to communicate with NTU on the matter.

Yeh made the remarks after a ceremony in which he took over the post of education minister, which was left vacant by Wu Maw-kuen (吳茂昆), who resigned May 29.

Yeh said it is not good for the NTU president case to be stalled because leaving the NTU presidential vacancy unfilled for too long will harm the development of the university.

Yeh was one of five ministers to assume their new posts Monday following a partial Cabinet reshuffle.    [FULL  STORY]
