清華大學校長高為元在續任後不久赴美國尋職,引發師生與學界對其誠信與領導能力的質疑,同時凸显台灣大學校長薪資受公務人員待遇綁定,無法與國際頂尖學府競爭的結構性問題。

清華大學校長高為元續任第3天就帶職赴美覓職引發「誠信」風暴,更衍生出高為元該下台還是繼續留任的爭議,銘傳大學傳播學者杜聖聰也在臉書發文提到,高為元是優秀的學者,其學術成就沒有人懷疑,且拿到過半數同意續任,說明清華人曾經信任他,但如今該問的是,台灣為什麼留不住一位校長?
杜聖聰認為,儘管高為元9/10說明會上公開認錯道歉及捐薪欲止血,且說沒有把清大當「備胎」。但風波未平息,曾任清大校長遴選委員會召集人的中研院院士梁賡義,與香港科技大學前校長史維等14位院士發表聯合聲明,直指他「已失去誠信與領導典範」,勸他急流勇退。如果論風骨,高為元應該辭職,因為當年主持遴選的召集人都站出來勸退了,這已經不能說是外界抹黑。高為元若在乎清華,最體面的做法就是辭職。
請繼續往下閱讀...
但只罵他一個人,並不公平。杜聖聰也舉國內外大學校長薪水為例,台灣自稱重視教育,但大學校長的待遇卻被綁在公務人員的薪資表裡,動彈不得。香港、新加坡、美國的大學開出數倍的薪水招手,但台灣能拿出來的,只有使命感和道德勸說。
他認為高為元事件應分兩層次來看,第一層是個人。高為元的選擇傷了清華人的心,他應該負責,應該辭職,這一點沒有商量餘地。第二層是結構,高為元走了,下一位校長面對的還是同一張薪資表、同樣沉重的行政負擔、同樣的國際挖角。如果討論只停在「他沒有節操」,只不過是在等下一隻孔雀飛走,再回頭罵牠不忠。如今要檢討的,除一位校長的去留,還有台灣社會究竟願意給教育多少敬意。
