Article 1         The National Cheng Kung University Regulations Governing Presidential Election (hereinafter referred to as “the Regulations”) is established in accordance with Article 9 of the University Act and Article 25 of the Articles of Association of National Cheng Kung University (hereinafter referred to as “the University”) to encourage outstanding talent to lead the University.

Article 2         The Presidential Election Committee (hereinafter referred to as “the Committee”) must be formed in accordance with the Regulations for electing the President within 10 months prior to the expiration of the term of office of the incumbent President or within 2 months after the position of the President is left vacant with cause. The Committee must complete the election within 8 months of the establishment of the Committee.

The representatives as specified in Subparagraphs 1 and 2 of the preceding paragraph are selected or nominated by the University Council. Candidates with the highest number of votes qualify as representatives. The remaining candidates are alternate representatives in their respective category. The selection method is as follows:

The two representatives must be under the same school representative category, and only one replacement can be made in each category. The original representative becomes the first-priority alternate representative.

(3)  If a school representative is absent for any reason during the election, resulting in the number of school representatives of a particular gender falling short of the one-third requirement, the replacement representative must be under the same school representative category and be of the same gender.

(3)  The nomination process is established by the colleges, non-college units (convened by the College of Management), and the Student Council. The number of candidates of a particular gender may not be fewer than one-third of the total number of candidates.

(4)  If the number of representatives of a particular gender does not meet the one-third requirement, the representative of the same gender with the highest number of votes is elected to fill the vacancy.

(5)  Incumbent full-time school employees and students cannot be nominated as alumni or upright members of society.

Representatives appointed as Committee members are only allowed to be consecutively reelected once; however, terms served before August 1, 2019, are excluded.

The Committee is automatically dissolved after the new President takes office. If the Committee fails to perform the tasks set out in Article 5 without reasonable cause or fails to properly resolve any dispute regarding a presidential election within the timeframe stated in the preceding paragraph, the Committee is dissolved if more than one-third of the University Council members proposes to dissolve the Committee, more than half of all University Council members attends a meeting, and more than half of all University Council members present at a meeting votes to dissolve the Committee.

Article 18      During the first term of a new President, Committee members must not be appointed first-level administrative executives.

Article 19       The position of Committee member is a non-compensated position. However, Committee members outside of the University may receive compensation for attendance and transportation expenses in accordance with related regulations.

The required expenses of the Committee are funded by the University.

Article 20       The Regulations are effective upon approval by the University Council and are sent to the Ministry of Education for future reference; the same applies to any amendment thereto.

These regulations were translated from the original Chinese. In the event of any discrepancies between the two versions, the Chinese shall always take precedence.
