SDG 10.6.5 University diversity officer

NCUE attaches importance to the participation of diverse members in handling various university affairs. NCUE also attaches importance to gender equality and the rights of multi-ethnicity students in the composition of committees concerning the rights and interests of faculty and staff, and encourages students to participate in the decision-making and discussion of university affairs. In addition, a gender equality committee has been set up to integrate relevant resources to promote gender equality education, planning to establish a safe campus space with gender equality, etc. It is described as follows:

1. Composition of committees related to the rights and interests of faculty and staff

The statistics on the composition of faculty and staff committees at NCUE in 2025 are as shown in Table 1. Committees at the university level, such as the Teacher Appraisal Committee, the Evaluation Committee, and the Performance Appraisal Committee, the Teacher Appeal Review Committee, all meet the statutory requirement that the ratio of any gender should not be less than 1/3.

2. The formation of committees for the protection of the rights of multi-ethnic students

NCUE students come from diverse backgrounds. To protect underrepresented students’ right to study, the Special Education Counseling and Guidance Committee was established at the Special Education Centre, while the Advisory Committee for the Resource Center of Indigenous Students was established at the Resource Center of Indigenous Students (as shown in Figure 1-2), so as to integrate the university’s resources and provide students with services such as administrative support, learning guidance, and employment transition.

3. Encourage students to participate in university affairs

NCUE encourages students to participate in university affairs and make suggestions for university meetings. In 2025, students actively participated in 53 of these meetings (as shown in Figure 3).

4. NCUE has a Gender Equality Education Committee

According to the Gender Equity Education Act of the Ministry of Education, NCUE has set up a Gender Equality Education Committee (as shown in Figure 4-5). The committee’s task is to integrate relevant resources, draft the plan of gender equality education, implement the plan, and to examine the implementation results. Moreover, the committee has to plan or to hold activities related to gender equality education for students, faculty, staff, as well as parents. The committee also formulates regulations on the implementation of gender equality education as well as the prevention and handling of sexual assault and sexual harassment on campus, establishes mechanisms, and coordinates and integrate relevant resources, planning and establishing a safe campus space with gender equality.

5. Regular Labor-Management Meetings

Personnel employed through the university's school affairs fund, in addition to filing complaints or seeking mediation with local labor bureaus according to the " Act for Settlement of Labor-Management Disputes "(as shown in Figure 6) established by the Ministry of Labor, can also participate in labor-management meetings held quarterly. Labor representatives can present opinions and improvement suggestions to management (the university) to safeguard workers' rights. Furthermore, to better protect staff rights and promote campus harmony, our university has established the " Organization and Key Evaluation Points for the NCUE’s Staff Appeal and Appraisal Committee," (as shown in Figure 7) providing formal grievance channels.
