Chen Shu-heng, dean of international cooperation at NCCU, says that one time a foreign student was feeling suicidal and sought counseling, but the counseling center refused, saying "foreign students are not our responsibility." The offices of academic affairs and student affairs have the same mindset, or criticize foreign students for "always bringing trouble" and "taking up resources," which is very frustrating for him.
政大國際事務處處長陳樹衡舉例，有外籍生有自殺傾向，需要心理諮商，竟被輔導中心以「外籍生不是我們的業務」拒於門外；不少行政體系同仁常流露出「外籍生總是惹麻煩」、「佔用資源」等成見，也讓他頗為挫折。
