Perspective
CCUT was originally established as Chung Chou Vocational Institute of Engineering in 1969. In 1991, the school name was changed to Chung Chou Junior College of Technology and in 2000, the name was changed again to Chung Chou Institute of Technology. It was finally renamed the Chung Chou University of Science and Technology on 1 August 2011.[1] In 2015, the university had been put under observation for quality issues.[2]
International student exploitation
In January 2022, The Reporter reported CCUT luring overseas students to Taiwan illegally. The students, who were found through brokers had to commit to paying higher tuition fees and were forced to work overtime in factories to pay back these fees. The college promised to provide English courses and scholarships to international students. Once the students signed up, the classes turned out to be taught fully in Chinese, and the students were required to get high scores to be qualified for any scholarship.[3][4] When one of the students changed his school, the college threatened the student with governmental deportation measures.[5]
