【研究生支持資源】Support Resources for Graduate Students
各位研究生同學大家好：
臺大有一半的同學是研究生，我們共同撐起了臺大的半邊天。研究生在忙於自己的研究、老師的計畫之餘，可能還需要兼顧擔任教學助理、賺取薪水維生。長時間的壓力下，生活、研究、工作的平衡總不是那麼容易。能夠考上臺大的研究所，我們都已經是很優秀的人，但背負著這份光環與重任外，我們也有權利停下來喘息，我們也有權利對不公平的對待說不。我們很辛苦，但我們並非只能孤獨面對！
一、如何面對不公平的指導關係
學生和指導教授間處於權力不對等的關係，但學生並非毫無招架之力。根據「國立臺灣大學論文指導教授與研究生互動準則」，當學生和指導教授發生各類糾紛（包含更換指導教授、研究成果歸屬有爭議、教授不給畢業等），都能要求系所召開協調會，並邀請研究生協會列席。
如果指導教授對學生有性侵害、性騷擾、性霸凌，我們更能夠尋求性平會的協助，單方面解除指導關係。
二、如何面對校方不公平的處分
當教務處、學務處、系所等單位對我們做出不公平的處分，譬如在修課上、成績上、獎學金申請上蒙受不法的對待，我們都能夠根據「國立臺灣大學學生申訴評議辦法」向學務處生活輔導組提出申訴。學校必須依法受理，並召集委員會公正地做出評斷，委員會中有研究生協會等五位學生代表，能夠站在學生立場發言，有機會撤銷或變更原處分。
三、如何面對教授與同儕間的霸凌
在研究室中我們也可能遭到教授和同儕排擠、霸凌，我們可以向學務處校安中心／校園霸凌防制委員會通報，學校會按同學意願展開調和，或者由委員會審議案件，給予霸凌者相當的懲處。
四、如何面對身心失調
臺大各學院都設有學輔專員，學務處心輔中心也提供同學諮商服務。然而在校內量能有限下，同學可以尋求校外資源，向心輔中心申請校外諮商方案，每次中文諮商可補助1600元（英文諮商3200元）；向生輔組申請學生團體保險給付，至精神科／身心科看診每月可補助1450元。
最後，無論同學面臨任何問題，都別忘記研究生協會作為大家最堅強的後盾！求助並不代表我們能力不夠，而是堅強面對問題的表現。
研究生協會敬上

Dear graduate students,
Graduate students make up half of the student body at NTU, and together, we hold up half the sky of our university. While juggling our own research and professors' projects, many of us also serve as teaching assistants to earn a living. Under prolonged pressure, balancing life, research, and work is never easy. Getting into graduate school at NTU proves that we are all exceptionally capable individuals. However, even with this prestige and responsibility on our shoulders, we still have the right to pause and breathe, as well as the right to say no to unfair treatment. We work hard, but we do not have to face these struggles alone!
1. How to Face Unfair Advising Relationships
The relationship between a student and their advisor involves an inherent power imbalance, but students are not entirely powerless. According to the National Taiwan University Guidelines for Interaction between Thesis Advisors and Graduate Students, when disputes arise (including changing advisors, conflicts over ownership of research outcomes, or advisors withholding graduation approval), students can request their department to convene a mediation meeting and invite the Graduate Student Association (GSA) to attend.
Furthermore, if an advisor commits sexual assault, sexual harassment, or sexual bullying against a student, the student can seek assistance from the Gender Equity Education Committee to unilaterally terminate the advising relationship.
2. How to Face Unfair Administrative Decisions
If administrative units such as the Office of Academic Affairs, the Office of Student Affairs, or individual departments issue unfair decisions—such as unlawful treatment regarding course enrollment, grading, or scholarship applications—students can apply for an appeal with the Student Assistance Division of the Office of Student Affairs, in accordance with the National Taiwan University Student Appeal Regulations. The university is legally required to accept the case and convene a committee to deliver a fair judgment. This committee includes five student representatives, including members from the GSA, who will speak from the students' perspective, providing a genuine opportunity to revoke or modify the administrative act.
3. How to Face Bullying
If you experience exclusion or bullying by peers or the advisor, you can report the incident to the Student Safety Center / Prevention and Control of Bullying on Campuses Committee. The university will initiate a mediation process based on the student's preferences, or the committee will review the case and impose appropriate disciplinary actions on the perpetrator.
4. Managing Mental and Physical Health Challenges
Every college at NTU is staffed with a Campus Advisor, and the Student Counseling Center under the Office of Student Affairs provides counseling services. However, given the limited capacity on campus, students can look to off-campus resources. You can apply through the Student Counseling Center for the Off-Campus Counseling Subsidy, which offers up to NT$1,600 per session for Chinese counseling and NT$3,200 for English counseling. Additionally, you can apply for Student Group Insurance benefits through the Student Assistance Division, which provides a monthly subsidy of up to NT$1,450 for psychiatric or psychosomatic clinic visits.
Ultimately, no matter what challenges you face, please remember that the Graduate Student Association always has your back as your strongest support system! Seeking help is not a sign of weakness; rather, it is a brave demonstration of facing your challenges head-on.
Sincerely,
The Graduate Student Association (NTUGSA)
