History edit

In the beginning, Wenji Hsu(許文治; Pe̍h-ōe-jī: Khó͘ Bûn-tī), the then governor of Yunlin County, believed that there was only one College in Yunlin County, which was disparate compared to other counties and cities, so the development of high-level education standards in Yunlin was a top priority. Initially, he did not succeed in his bid to get National Chung Cheng University established in Yunlin, so he continued to fight for the establishment of a university of the high level, with the goal of "contributing to the development of education in Yunlin". At the beginning of the school's construction, the County Government provided the Ministry of Education as the site for the school's construction. In addition, Yunlin Junior High School had to be relocated due to the establishment of the Yunlin Institute of Technology. [8]
