Scholars trained in Taiwan had lower status than those trained abroad, and most schools made young assistant professors responsible for administrative tasks on top of their teaching workload. The result was that young scholars had little time for research. If this situation were not rectified, we could soon find ourselves without young faculty in these fields.
而各大學常讓年輕助理教授兼任行政和教學工作，形成變相的廉價學術勞工等等，造成年輕學者沒有時間做研究，如果不儘速改善，將出現人才斷層。
