In “Campus Issue”, it appears that the government, often the guardian of public rights, assumes the responsibility of guaranteeing the transparency of the board of directors of private universities, the symbol of private rights, while at the same time aiding the schools to encourage educational growth via financial assistance. It rings true that the government may defend any infringement on public rights incurred by the exertion of private rights as well as offer support to the institutions. However, the law brazenly blurs the delicate line between public and private rights and conclusively disrespects each unique realm of rights. Furthermore, the Law embraces the potential of a public rights legitimate supervision over private rights, inviting a conflict between the two realms of rights. Therefore, a revision of the Law in part or whole remains inevitable: If revised, partial adjustments or amendments must avoid the current violation of distinctions prevalent in the Law.
