Abstract/Objectives

National Tsing Hua University (NTHU) has established the "Gender Equality Education Implementation Regulations" to promote gender equity among its community and eliminate gender discrimination. The regulations define gender equality education as teaching respect for gender diversity and ensuring an unbiased educational environment, free from discrimination based on gender, sexual orientation, or identity. The university commits to equitable admission practices and provides necessary support for disadvantaged students, including pregnant students. Additionally, the regulations address sexual harassment, defining it as unwelcome conduct that affects others' dignity or rights in academic settings. NTHU has instituted specific anti-discrimination and anti-harassment policies, including ensuring gender representation in committees, where no gender constitutes less than one-third of membership. The university also enforces fair employment practices for individuals with disabilities, adhering to legal quotas and promoting an inclusive workplace. These measures reflect the institution's dedication to fostering a safe and equitable environment for all.

1. Institutionalized Gender Safeguards (Gender Representation in University Committees)

 

To promote gender equality in institutional governance, the university has established a clear requirement for the composition of internal committees: no gender shall constitute less than one-third of the total membership.

 

This rule integrates gender equality directly into the university’s governance and decision-making structure, ensuring that individuals of different genders have equitable opportunities to participate in institutional affairs and express their perspectives. The policy serves as concrete evidence of the university’s commitment to gender protection and inclusive governance.

 

The gender composition of several university-level committees administered by the Personnel Office in Academic Year 113 (2024–2025) is shown below:
