Exclusive | Jam Hsiao’s Alma Mater Stops Recruiting to Change Ghost Town Gate, Sends Dummy for Security | Apple News | Apple Daily

The problem of the decrease in the birth rate has affected the operation of colleges and universities. Last year, the Asia-Pacific Institute of Creative Technology, the alma mater of well-known singer Xiao Jingteng, ended. Students and teachers moved. The campus covers an area of ​​13 hectares and there are only 3 people left during the day. Miscellaneous, school gate, office security maintenance work, scandalous to use dolls as security, such as thieves in no-man’s-land, valuable computers, cables, etc. They were stolen, even outside the school, which was originally crowded on Xuefu Road, because the merchants were evacuated at night. There was a deadly silence, like a ghost town.

The Asia Pacific Institute of Creative Technology, formerly known as Qin Mingong College, was founded in 1988 and is located in Toufen City, Miaoli County. The school is best known to the outside world for having a singing alumnus, Xiao Jingteng, who won the world championship with the competitive cheerleading team, but was affected by the declining birth rate. The shock, despite the well-known security and property management company “Yesun” Group claiming to have entered the school for about 500 million yuan in 2016, decided to suspend enrollment in 2018 and students were forced to transfer to another school. The Ministry of Education ordered the suspension in June last year. Since then, he has become a fat sheep in the eyes of thieves.

The large 13-hectare campus is overgrown and grows taller than people. The stadium and other hardware facilities are in ruins. The offices are only blocked by wooden bars, shattered windows and doors, and valuable computers, cables, etc. Steal the light. Lin Jingyao, director of the Douping Police Station in his jurisdiction, said that after the suspension, a total of 5 robberies were seized and 7 criminals were arrested. In addition to computers and cables, the school’s acacia has also been attacked by thieves.

“Apple News” visited the school last Tuesday (20) and found that only three people were left behind, dealing with external affairs and schoolwork. The Hsinchu branch of the Executive Office of the Ministry of Justice is auctioning the tea-making machines, ceramic kneaders and other school items due to the debts of the school board. The staff who stayed behind asked the reporter why the school became like this. Low profile is unresponsive.

According to the “Apple” survey, the Asia Pacific School of Creative Technology originally had more than 100 faculty members. After Yisheng Group became the chairman of the board of directors in 2016, 60% of the staff left. The remaining people were dispatched one after another. They had to find another outlet to the elementary schools. Act as a substitute teacher or hire a teacher.

There is a rumor that the Yisheng Group will be the principal of the school at first, mainly to use the vast land to build an elderly care village, but Yisheng has not confirmed the news. Huang Huizhi, a former director and former assistant professor at the Asia-Pacific Institute of Creative Technology, saw that the campus was in shambles. He felt many feelings. He reported Yi Sheng for taking over the school. He had no intention of directing education, which made teachers and students become homeless teachers and homeless students. Speaking of which, I’m still mad. It’s really a painful memory. “

Huang Huizhi analyzed that the reason why the Asia-Pacific Institute of Creative Technology has fallen to this point is related to the control of the board of directors after the Yisheng Group took over. He stressed that Yisheng President Huang Pingzhang took over as the school’s president, and he had ambition to make the school one of the top 3 technical positions in Asia. The school, but everything changed afterwards, and it also caused disturbances in the salaries of teachers and reduction of departments.

Today, the school’s board of directors still exists. Huang said he collects information from various parties and can use it to seek to have the government continue to run schools, transform mini-universities and even private primary and secondary schools, or establish social welfare institutions to continue applying for state subsidies. She believes that the initial estimate of school assets is at least 1.2 billion yuan, and the Ministry of Education should dissolve the board of directors in accordance with the Private School Law and not let the Condor Group swallow it.

Lin Baiyi, director of the organization department of the Taiwan Higher Education Industry Union, noted that as early as last year, a director of the Asia-Pacific Board of Directors proposed that the school should be donated to the Miaoli County government, which was monitored and used by the county government, but which was blocked by the managing director and insisted on continuing to use it. The three-year transition is basically a way of allowing the school to be the private property of the school administrator.

After Yisheng Group entered the Asia-Pacific Institute of Creative Technology, the controversy continued. It was unleashed that it owed teachers’ salaries and closed a large number of departments that infringed on the rights of teachers and students. Teachers and students protested against the deliberate destruction of the school in an attempt to obtain school property from Asia Pacific. In 2018, Yisheng Group resigned from the Asia-Pacific board of directors. At that time, Huang Pingzhang resigned as chairman of the board of directors. Huang Pingzhang stated that he would donate 150 million yuan to the school after becoming chairman of the board. “To no avail, he refuted the charge of embezzling school property.

In response to the future trends of the school, how the board of directors was formed and the question of the former principals, Apple called the Yisheng Group switchboard last Wednesday (21) to express the purpose of the interview and ask questions, and left a method of contact. Calling back the next day, still no Response, as of press time, no formal response has been received from Yisheng

Since the Higher Education Union held a press conference to reveal that the new Asia-Pacific board of directors is related to CITIC Gold Group, he also doubts that Yisheng Group is related to CITIC Gold. However, CITIC Gold had already clarified it at the time, emphasizing that he had never been on the board of directors of the Asia-Pacific Institute of Creative Technology and had nothing to do with Yisheng Group. Now that the old things have resurfaced, CITIC Gold reiterated that it has nothing to do with Asia Pacific and Yisheng.

Ke Jinwei, a member of the special committee of the Technical Department of the Ministry of Education, said that Asia and the Pacific currently does not have enough members on the board. According to Article 28 of the Private Schools Law, the Ministry of Education recommended 8 candidates for directors of non-profit organizations a month ago and presented them to the court for trial. 6 of them were selected. After the temporary principals are appointed, an interim board of directors with the original three principals will be held to elect the tenth principal and the chairman of the board before Fayuan proceeds with the school’s dissolution and liquidation procedures.

He said that Yisheng did not propose a specific transformation plan before. Unless the board of directors violates the law or the donation statute, causing problems in the operation of the school, the Ministry of Education will request the court to dissolve the board of directors and reassign new directors in accordance with article 25 of the Schools Act. Private The current problem with the Asia Pacific Academy is a lack of board members.

In addition, Ke Jinwei pointed out that the directors related to the Yisheng Group have retired from the Asia-Pacific board of directors as early as 2018. The remaining three directors, “To say that these three people are Yisheng people, they are not very relevant., At most they can only be members of the previous board of directors ”.

Netizens satirized that the fictional preservation is very creative, which fully matches the name of the “Creative” Technical School. (Reported by Yang Yongsheng, Xu Weining, Miaoli-Taipei Connection / Finance Center)
