The Control Yuan said that it issued corrective measures after two of its members, Kao Feng-hsien (高鳳仙) and Yin Tso-chien (尹祚芊), conducted an inquiry revealing that school administrators and education officials “made serious mistakes” in handling the case. The school’s gender equality committee in April 2016 found that the teacher, surnamed Huang (黃), acted inappropriately in six incidents that should be considered sexual harassment, the Control Yuan report said. In the March 2017 report, school officials asked to give Huang two minor demerits and not renew his contract, instead of dismissing him as it should have, the report said. Later, a separate internal inquiry by the school implicated Huang in two other sexual harassment incidents, including tying up a student in a sadomasochistic display, it said, adding that this resulted in his dismissal in 2017. That the six earlier incidents of sexual harassment led to two demerits, while two later incidents resulted in dismissal showed that the school had no consistent standards for disciplining teachers, the Control Yuan said.
