St. John's. University tried to bribe TW officials, legislator says
The legislature blocked the Ministry of Foreign Affairs' proposal to continue financial aid for the St. John's University in New York last week because of the university's attempts to bribe Taiwanese officials, a legislator said yesterday.

The ministry has been giving financial packages to some US universities for the purpose of academic cooperation. Over the past 20 years, St. John's has received some US$8 million from the Taiwanese government, the largest sum a US university has ever obtained, Hsiao said.

Responding to Hsiao's allegation and the failed proposal to continue aid to St. John's, Chang said she would take legal actions against the "blackmailers."

1. Would you kindly use words; not more acronyms. Thank you.
It's annoying, it isn't cute, and it shows a certain arrogant laziness.
