【Statement】Latest Update on the Handling of the Incident Involving a Student’s Wrist Injury on Campus

In response to the recent discussions on social media regarding the unfortunate wrist injury sustained by a student on campus, Yuntech deeply empathizes with the feelings of the student and their family, and sincerely appreciates the ongoing concern from all sectors. To provide clarity on the latest developments, the university hereby offers the following statement:

1. Formal Investigation Underway

Immediately following the incident, the university initiated a formal investigation. The relevant department is thoroughly examining the design of the classroom activity, the response at the moment of the incident, as well as the subsequent reporting and communication procedures with the class. The investigation remains ongoing. To ensure an objective and impartial outcome, Yuntech will adhere strictly to facts and evidence, and earnestly requests all parties to refrain from premature judgments.

2. Both Parties Currently Engaged in Compensation Negotiations

Since the occurrence, the teaching staff has borne the costs of the student’s out-of-pocket medical expenses, surgery, and care during hospitalization. Regarding subsequent compensation matters, a first negotiation session was arranged by the Chair of Department in accordance with both parties’ wishes. However, no consensus has yet been reached, and further discussions are anticipated.

Yuntech respects the student’s right to express their views and fully acknowledges the impact of the injury on the student’s physical and mental well-being, academic pursuits, and daily life. The university pledges to act with sincerity and will continue to monitor the progress of negotiations, hoping to achieve a mutually acceptable resolution at the earliest opportunity.

3. Ongoing Care and Support for the Student

Throughout the negotiation period, the university’s concern and assistance for the student will remain unwavering. The Office of Student Affairs, Counseling Center, and Office of Academic Affairs will continue to provide rehabilitation support, psychological counseling, and academic guidance to ensure the student’s right to education is fully protected.

Due to the sensitive nature of the negotiations involving the student’s personal privacy and medical information, the university is unable to disclose specific details publicly and seeks your understanding. We also earnestly appeal to the public to afford the student and their family adequate space to engage in rational and peaceful dialogue.
