國立東華大學諮商與臨床心理學系副教授陳淑瓊2018年赴中考察但未完成請假程序,事隔多年後被校方認定為曠職5天,並追討1萬餘元的薪資;陳女提起行政訴訟,主張若出勤有問題應給予補正機會,而非在事隔多年後改為曠職;台北高等行政法院認為,校方未經教評會審議,逕以專案會議改認曠職,違反大學自治及正當行政程序,判決陳女勝訴。可上訴。
判決指出,陳淑瓊在2018年1月10日透過校方差勤系統申請公差假,預計於同年月13日至30日期間前往中國考察,並經過系、院主管核准;不過,課務組於1月15日以請假期間仍有課程、要求補填代課資料為由退回申請;陳女當天下午再次提出申請,仍遭課務組駁回,最終未完成請假程序。
東華大學獲報以後,於2021年展開調查,最後認定陳女未完成請假程序,但沒有故意不請假的意圖,決議以書面告誡;但是監察院2024年提出糾正案文,校方因此再度召開專案會議,最後認定陳女1月15日至19日間曠職,要求返還1萬6156元的薪資。
陳女不服,提起行政訴訟盼法院撤銷曠職處分,主張其在2018年1月10日就提出請假申請,校方15日才遲誤審核,且是由無權限的課務組助理員未附理由駁回;若請假有問題,人事室應通知她說明或轉成事假,結果卻在事隔多年改為曠職;此外,當時為期末考週,她負責的課程多數不需考試,少數課程也已安排監考人員,校方認定曠職屬濫用權限。
東華大學主張,教師未完成請假程序即視同曠職,雖然大學教師不以簽到退方式管理出勤,但仍有出勤義務;而陳女當時未依規定補交代課資料,且專任教師除了授課,也有其他職務義務,不能因為課務安排妥當,就免除出勤責任。
合議庭認為,大學教師職務包含教學、研究及服務,基於學術自由保障,得在聘約規範下自主決定職務履行的時間、地點及方式,校方不能單憑教師未完成請假程序,就直接認定曠職;此外,法官認為,涉及教師職務履行與否,也應由各級教評會實質審議,建立學術同儕間的認定標準。
合議庭指出,陳女赴中未完成請假程序一事,早在2022年經三級教評會審議,認定她並無故意不請假的意圖,並決議書面告誡,但校方後續卻因監察院糾正,另以專案會議改認曠職,又無法提出專案會議具有認定大學教師曠職的法規依據,也沒有校內規則授權專案會議作成不同於教評會的決定,已違反大學自治精神。
此外,校方人事室也曾陳述,經系所查證,陳女該段期間課務均已安排,並無曠職或曠課事實,校方僅以未完成請假程序逕認曠職,也有事實認定錯誤,因此判決撤銷陳女的曠職處分,全案仍可上訴。
