INTERFERENCE? The committee reviewing the acquisition of TBC was told that an investor looking to manage a cable TV network from overseas was a risk, FTV saidBy Tseng Te-jung and Jake Chung / Staff reporter, with staff writerFormosa TV （FTV, 民視） has accused Hon Hai Group （鴻海集團） chairman Terry Gou （郭台銘） of politically motivated censorship of the media after Taiwan Broadband Communications （TBC, 台灣寬頻通訊） cut access to FTV-owned channels yesterday morning.TBC said it removed the channels Formosa News, Formosa Taiwan and Follow Me TV from its service because FTV had not authorized TBC to use its channels.FTV last year packaged the three channels in one deal, but TBC only wished to broadcast Formosa News.An inability to arrive at a solution necessitated National Communication Commission （NCC） intervention. The NCC ordered FTV to grant TBC temporary access to its channels until May 15.In a statement issued yesterday to the 700,000 affected households in Taichung, southern Taoyuan, Hsinchu County and Miaoli County, FTV accused Gou of politically motivated censorship of the media.“Gou has begun intervening in Taiwanese media through TBC and its largest investor, Macquarie Asian Pay Television Trust Management Pte Ltd,” FTV said. “TBC’s decision turned the affected viewers into second-class citizens.”The allegations refer to the purchase of Macquarie Asian Pay Television by Hon Hai business group president Lu Fang-ming （呂芳銘） last year. Gou invested by contributing 20 percent of cost.TBC is wholly owned by Macquarie Asian Pay Television.An opinion letter sent to the committee reviewing the acquisition last year stated that a Taiwanese investor looking to finance and manage a Taiwanese cable TV network from overseas would be a potential risk to national security, FTV said.The letter said the investor would be susceptible to Chinese threats or a takeover due to H0n Hai’s sizeable investments in China and such a susceptibility could negatively affect media freedom in Taiwan.TBC has received more than NT$1.5 billion （US$50.5 million） in subscription fees so far this year, yet it refuses to pay the several million NT dollars for authorization, FTV said.FTV’s authorization fees are two-thousandths of that of other multiple system operators and only one-tenth of the amount charged by news channels, such as Sanlih E-Television （三立電視）, FTV said.FTV added that it strongly suspects ulterior motives behind TBC’s abrupt removal of the channels, a move that FTV said contravenes NCC regulations.In response, TBC said that Lu’s purchase of TBC was a personal investment and unaffiliated with Hon Hai.TBC had previously broadcast Formosa News without charging its subscribers, but FTV’s demands on Dec. 25 last year had been unreasonable and could have contravened the Fair Trade Act （公平交易法）, it said.FTV wanted to bundle the three channels into one package and demand a monthly NT$2 surcharge per user, it said.“We care about upholding consumers’ rights,” TBC said.The NCC fined TBC NT$60,000, and demanded that TBC and FTV immediately resolve the impasse.Any action infringing users’ rights would be fined between NT$60,000 and NT$3 million according to Article 63 of the Cable Radio and Television Act （有線廣播電視法）, NCC spokesman Wong Po-tsung （翁柏宗） said.Additional reporting by Chen Jou-chen and Liu Li-jen新聞來源：TAIPEI TIMES

針對台大校長管中閔的人事案，就在延宕了111天後，教育部27日晚間宣布駁回台大校長的聘任案，台大必須重啟遴選程序，重新選舉校長。教育部此一決定，不僅展現了蔡政府以政治力卡管的高度決心及意志力外，也宣告台灣的「大學自主」已死，只要選出非我族類的人，通通可以換掉。

管爺能不能再當校長不知道，但可以確定的是，拔管後爭議不斷的教育部長吳茂昆位子穩了，台灣的高等教育完了。

檢視整起事件，問題的癥結點在於，管中閔並非蔡英文屬意的台大校長，所以就在台大遴選委員會結果出爐後，蔡政府開始想方設法要「卡管」。於是開始指控管論文抄襲、違法赴陸兼職，且與遴選委員之一的台灣大哥大副董蔡明興有獨董、董事之間的關係，「先射箭、再畫靶」，以此認定遴選結果有疑義。

然而，就在確定拔管的同時，教育部卻坦言，「調查過程中沒有發現管中閔違法兼職、兼課、違反重大行政規範等情事」，而是因為遴委會委員和被推薦人有「經濟法律上重大利益未迴避」的適法疑慮，要求重新回到校長候選人推薦資格初審階段。

好笑的是，教育部現在認為有適法疑慮，但當初台大遴選委員當中就有2席教育部代表，其中一位還是政務次長姚立德，倘若認為遴選校長過程中有適法疑慮，為何過程中皆未提出任何質疑？而是在選出管中閔後才提出。若教育部以此理由拔管，那不也證明當時的2席教育部代表有明顯違失。

身為教育部長吳茂昆在此事件上本應該秉持中立超然的態度，卻在開會結論出來前，多次表示「若有明顯違法不會聘任」，甚至暗示已經拿到關鍵證據，透露不會聘任管中閔。試問，如果部長可以決定各校校長人選，要遴選委員會幹嘛？

離譜的是，就在教育部宣布駁回管中閔後，吳茂昆還對媒體說，現階段教育部不會直接否定管中閔參與台大校長遴選的資格，但有關他的違法事證，遴委會必須認定及處置。這儼然是以主管機關的權勢，去逼迫大學遴委會做出「正確的」政治決定。

事實上，台大遴委會之前就已經表示，法務部於民國105年已有函釋，大學校長遴選應不受行政程序法約束；台大遴委會1月31日的會議紀錄也提到此事，當天遴選委員是在知道不受行政程序法約束的前提下進行討論，最後做出管中閔當選資格無疑義的決議。

如果教育部要將球丟回給遴委會，就必須尊重遴委會的決議，既然管中閔沒有違法兼職，遴委會也不認定管的獨董問題有涉及「行政程序法」的迴避事項，那為何教育部遲遲不發給管中閔聘書，最後更決定重來一次，說穿了就是政治力凌駕學術、凌駕專業。

教育部違法不聘任新校長，讓台大二個多月沒有校長，逾越法定期限的最後時日，已經違法，現在又以莫須有的理由宣布拔管，公信力蕩然無存，已無人相信。

身為國家領導人的蔡英文，面對最高學府台灣大學校長人選的問題，引發社會如此大爭議，始終避而不談，卻在背後下指導棋，要求教育部伸手進入。難道台灣的高等教育、學術發展、學生權益、學校自治都沒有比選出蔡英文中意的校長來得重要嗎？

蔡英文在管中閔事件上展現出無比決心，及過人的毅力，歷經兩位部長，就是硬要把管中閔拉下，即便醜態百出，官箴敗壞，她也在所不惜，因為在蔡英文心中，「政治掛帥、整肅異己」才是王道。

今天台大，明天很可能就是政大、交大，後天就是成大、師大，管中閔事件只是個開端，若大家再無警覺或事不關己，台灣未來恐怕只會更快向下沉淪。

中共前領導人毛澤東嫡孫毛新宇，也未列入中共解放軍「 十九大」代表名單之列。（鳳凰軍事） 分享 facebook 香港星島日報網站今天報導，有關已故中共領袖毛澤東嫡孫毛新宇在北韓車禍中死亡的消息是謠言，其家屬指他沒去過北韓。北京一個具左派背景的旅遊團上月到北韓進行「紅色旅遊」，期間遇上車禍，造成32人死亡和2人受傷，當局一直沒有公布死者名單，以致引來各種傳聞。.inline-ad { position: relative; overflow: hidden; box-sizing: border-box; }
