It’s my hope that this discussion will lend opportunity to even more improvements.”

During the conference, 11 student representatives presented their inquiries and suggestions gathered from the student body. The requests included adding more asian languages for study, designing of short-term courses, publication of multi-departmental books and age requirements for academic positions. Dean of the College of Foreign Languages and Literature, Hsiao-chuan Chen, responded, “The Asian languages provided already include Indian and Vietnamese, but currently the number of students is restricted and we can look into opening more short-term courses.” Director of the Tamkang University Press, Sinn-cheng Lin, expressed, “We’ve currently got published material that contains six different languages of different departments. In the future we plan to continue moving in this direction. Yi-jen Hu, addressed the age hiring policy, “As of now we are operating according to regulations, but the future is discussing changes in these rules. Just as the policy states retirement is offered at the age of 70, yet we generally allow retirement at 65.”
