Three private universities have been ordered to stop enrolling new students for the upcoming semester.
The Ministry of Education announced the decision after a meeting of its private university closure review committee, which had placed Mingdao University in Changhua, Tatung Institute of Technology in Chiayi, and Transworld University in Yunlin on a watchlist in August 2022 due to mounting debts and unpaid wages.
Officiasl say the three schools failed to resolve their financial issues by the May 31 deadline, but a fourth school, Kao Yuan University in Kaohsiung, was removed from the watchlist after getting a NT$280 million donation from Taiwan Steel Group on May 29-th.
Now, the M-O-E says the three private universities had been ordered to halt enrollment of new students from the fall 2023 semester and close on July 31, 2024.
