[edit]

Tsai completed a bachelor's and master's degrees in education at National Taiwan Normal University, then obtained a doctorate in the same subject at Stanford University.[1] He has published research articles in the Journal of National Taiwan Normal University,[2] and editorials in the Taipei Times.[3] Tsai taught at the primary and high school levels, was a professor at National Taiwan Normal University, and served as a member or executive or executive on several organizations, including the Wenshan Rotary Club, the Republic of China Recreation Association, Ke-Tsai Family Association in Taipei, the Cerebral Palsy Association of the Republic of China, the National Education Association of the Republic of China, and the Consumer Foundation.[1]

Political career

[edit]

Tsai was a member of the Legislative Yuan from 1990 to 1993.[4] He did not win reelection in December 1992,[5] but stood for election in December 1995 as a member of the Kuomintang proportional representation party list, and returned to the legislature.[1] In the midst of the Third Taiwan Strait Crisis, Tsai was interviewed by The Independent about the status of Cross-Strait relations.[6] Tsai, a member of the Kuomintang,[6] served the party as leader of the Institute of Revolutionary Practice and headed the Culture Working Group of the Central Committee [zh].[1]

In 2002, Tsai was named a minister without portfolio and member of the Examination Yuan.[7] In his Examination Yuan role, Tsai announced the passage of a new pension program for civil servants in November 2005.[8] He was renominated for a second term in 2008. During his reconfirmation hearing, legislator Kuan Bi-ling noted that Tsai and several other nominees held a Permanent Resident Card issued by the United States.[9][10] The Ma Ying-jeou presidential administration confirmed that Tsai had relinquished his residency in the United States,[11] and he was reappointed to the Examination Yuan as a minister without portfolio.[12] After the National Academy of Civil Service replaced the National Civil Service Institute on 26 March 2010,[13] Tsai led the NACS as president.[14] In October 2010, Tsai was appointed chairperson of the Civil Service Protection and Training Commission.[12] He was renominated to lead the commission for a second term, which began on 1 September 2014.[15] Tsai resigned from the commission in May 2016.[15]
