(NTU) will restart the process to select a new president and not let the multiple contentious issues that have arisen following the NTU Selection Committee’s election of Kuan Chung-ming, who the government refuses to accept, slow down its trajectory toward progress and advancement.

Cabinet spokesman Hsu Kuo-yung said that NTU should move forward on the matter now the Ministry of Education has sent an official letter to the university asking it to remedy and then restart the selection process.

Hsu addressed criticisms of the government’s focus on alleged flaws in the process used to elect Kuan.
