國立清華大學明(20)日將召開校務會議,校長高為元續任後赴美參與他校校長遴選,引發誠信與去留爭議。高為元今日在台北參加清大活動前回應表示,他尊重校務會議的決定,相信代表會理性討論,請大家關注會議結果,各種意見是個人的想法,屬於言論自由。對於中研院院士林本堅提出「留薪停職」建議,他則苦笑,未正面回應是否接受。

高為元說,其他人的發言屬言論自由,他尊重個人及院士的想法,相信校務會議代表會理性討論。他也表示,未來在校上繼續努力,希望把焦點放在台灣能源的未來。

高為元今天出席清大能源議題活動,媒體追問是否考慮請辭,以及如何回應院士要求離任的意見。現場人員一度以活動即將開始、仍有外賓在場為由,多次請媒體退到後方,高為元最終接受訪問。

清大校友總會理事長陳立白及榮譽理事長謝詠芬、蔡進步,14日在台北邀請連署要求高為元離任的院士餐敘,多名院士未出席、透過書面表達意見,相關資料由林本堅彙整,已轉交多名校務會議代表。

林本堅提出以「留薪停職」方式,讓高為元不再擔任校長、另覓工作的建議,並主張高為元在討論自身去留時應迴避主持。不過,這項建議尚非校方決議,如何處理仍待說明。

高為元今年5月1日展開第二任任期,本報獨家揭露,他在5月4日至5日即赴美國夏威夷大學馬諾阿分校參與校長遴選,最終未獲選,引發校內外質疑。清大校務監督委員會先前通過查詢請假、公務資源使用、高階主管何時知情,以及事件對校譽與治理影響等提案。

高為元9月10日曾在校內說明會致歉,坦言輕忽校長職位的特殊性,願配合校內調查,並於任期內每年捐出5月薪資。中研院院士梁賡義等人其後仍公開連署勸退,認為爭議涉及校內信任,募款與捐薪無法取代對治理問題的回應。

Research report: Graduate studies focus on basic disciplines and cutting-edge fields

Online registration for the 2027 National Master’s Degree Admissions Examination officially begins on October 15. The "2026 China Undergraduate Employment Report" released by Max shows that although the scale of master's degree training continues to expand, the popularity of postgraduate entrance examinations has cooled down, and college students' decision-making for further studies has become more rational. The proportion of graduates in science, engineering, agriculture and medicine is higher in postgraduate studies, and they are concentrated in basic disciplines and cutting-edge technology fields. The number of applicants for majors such as chemistry, biology, physics, mathematics, materials science and engineering, computer science and technology has increased. The proportion of postgraduate applicants for professional degrees such as clinical medicine and energy and power has also increased significantly, which is in line with the country's strategic emerging industries and talent needs in fields such as medical and health, and "double carbon". The proportion of graduate students studying education dropped from 12.3% in the class of 2021 to 9.9% in the class of 2025.
