The Chengchi National University , or NCCU for short ( Chinese 國立 政治 大學 / 国立 政治 大学 , Pinyin Guólì Zhèngzhì Dàxué - "about National College of Politics", 政大 for short , Zhèngdà ) is a university in the Republic of China on Taiwan .
history
From 1926 to 1929, the Kuomintang (KMT) forces under Chiang Kai-shek succeeded in taking control of most of central China and ousting the various local warlords . On April 18, 1927, a Chinese national government was formed in Nanjing (formerly: Nanking). In the same year, also in Nanjing, a central party college was founded to train KMT party cadres. After the Kuomintang government had consolidated their power, the party college was named "Central Political College" in 1929 ( 中央 政治 大學 / 中央 政治 大学 , Zhōngyāng Zhèngzhì Dàxué ). Shortly after the end of World War II and during the Chinese Civil War , the college was promoted to a national university in 1946. After the communists' victory in mainland China, the newly founded university dissolved and most of the teaching staff fled to the island of Taiwan, which remained under the control of the Kuomintang . There the university was reopened or founded in 1954 in Taipei, explicitly linked to the previous institution.

“Coming to terms with the past” at the NCCU
Due to the history of the NCCU as the “executive college” of the Kuomintang and some of the traditions associated with it, there were several arguments. In 2016, NCCU students posted slips of paper on a statue of Chiang Kai-shek on the university campus with the names of opposition members who died in the February 28, 1947 incident . The students asked for the statue to be removed because it was a reminder of past times of political repression. On January 13, 2017, under the pressure of the students' demands, the university administration spoke out in favor of removing the two large bronze statues of Chiang Kai-shek from the university campus.
In June 2017, students protested after university management postponed a decision on the university's official anthem. The hymn dates back to the early days of the university and it praises the national revolution of the Kuomintang and the " three principles " of Sun Yat-sens .
