Commentary and book recommendation for the 2018 National Taiwan University presidential selection incident, known as the 'Kuan Chung-min Incident.' The DPP government and its Control Yuan crudely interfered with university autonomy, fabricating charges through political and media power to destroy Kuan Chung-min's character. Yang Du's book, 'The Backbone of the University,' serves as historical material recording the truth of this political persecution.
This article is Kuan Chung-min's statement delivered before the Judicial Yuan's Public Functionary Disciplinary Sanction Commission regarding the series of investigations and impeachments stemming from the NTU presidential election results. He characterizes the entire affair as 'political persecution,' accusing the Control Yuan's impeachment of using 'overzealous prosecution' and 'fabricated charges' to convict the innocent. He points out that persecutors accessed his income tax records from periods when he did not hold public office, using his editorial writing fees as so-called 'evidence' while ignoring facts and relevant testimony, seeking to argue he violated 'civil servant prohibition on concurrent employment' regulations. Kuan calls for judicial clarity and warns that if such persecution is tolerated, anyone could be the next victim.
