Overview

• National Taiwan Normal University announced on July 13 that coach Zhou Tai-ying was dismissed and barred from all university sports roles following student accusations.
• Zhou’s handwritten apology and the official notice of her removal were later scrubbed from NTNU’s social media channels, raising concerns about transparency.
• Local education authorities imposed administrative fines on the university and ordered corrective measures in response to the case.
• Investigations are ongoing into whether Zhou diverted research subsidies or otherwise profited from the forced blood donations.
• Students allege they endured up to 200 blood-draw sessions—sometimes three times a day over consecutive days—under threat of expulsion or being barred from graduation.
