STUDENT AND FACULTY/STAFF EXCHANGE AGREEMENT
between
THE REGENTS OF THE UNIVERSITY OF MICHIGAN
on behalf of its
UNIVERSITY OF MICHIGAN MEDICAL SCHOOL
and
THE CHANG GUNG MEMORIAL HOSPITAL, LINKOU

The Regents of the University of Michigan, a Michigan Constitutional corporation, on behalf of its Medical School (“U-M”), located in Ann Arbor, Michigan, United States of America, and the Chang Gung Memorial Hospital, Linkou (“CGMH”), located in Guishan Dist. Taoyuan, Taiwan, desiring to expand scholarly ties, facilitate academic cooperation, and promote mutual understanding, have agreed to establish mutually beneficial exchange relationships. This Student and Faculty Exchange Agreement (“Agreement”) provides a general framework for the exchange of students and/or faculty/staff members of the parties. For the purposes of this Agreement, “Home Institution” refers to the institution where a faculty/staff member is employed or a student is registered full-time in a degree program and from where s/he is expected to graduate. “Host Institution” refers to the institution that receives an exchange faculty/staff member and/or student for a limited period of time to teach or pursue study or research.

SECTION I
GENERAL PROVISIONS FOR EXCHANGES BETWEEN THE PARTIES

A.
Faculty and Staff Exchanges: Faculty and staff exchanges may take place as available. Approval of both parties will be required for all faculty and staff exchanges. Faculty and staff will teach or learn in the language of the Host Institution. Teaching loads will be determined by the Host Institution. Visiting faculty and staff will be paid by their Home Institution.

B. Student Exchanges: All students shall be bona fide students of the Home Institution and be engaged in a degree-oriented course of study. No degree will be conferred on the exchange students by the Host Institution. Documentation of satisfactory completion of learning experience with evaluations, when appropriate, will be forwarded from the Host Institution to the Home Institution as soon as practical after a student’s completion of their exchange period.

C.
Exchange Officers; Review. All matters pertaining to the exchange program created by this Agreement shall be administered by Dr. Joseph C. Kolars as the Exchange Officer for U-M, and by Dr. Wen-Neng Ueng as Exchange Officer for CGMH. Each Exchange Officer is responsible for regularly reviewing the exchange program created under this Agreement to assess the desirability and feasibility of continuing the relationship between the parties under the present terms.

D.
Quotas. For each year, the parties will discuss and mutually agree upon the number of students that will be exchanged based on space permitting at the Host institution. It is understood that normally each student will spend a four (4)-week clinical rotation at the Host Institution if they seek documentation of completion from the Host Institution and elective credit from the Home Institution. The Host Institution will be responsible for making arrangements of hosting the students, including coordination with related departments to arrange rotation electives.

E. Selection of Participants. Prospective students and/or faculty/staff members will be recommended for the exchange program by their Home Institution. The parties will give each other at least six (6) month’s notice of their participating students and/or faculty/staff members. Students and/or faculty/staff members must provide the Exchange Officer of the Host Institution with information on their educational background, interests, and Workplan (see Section F, below). Each party reserves the right to require student exchange candidates to complete standard admission forms/applications and provide any other necessary documents. Each Host Institution shall provide assistance with enrollment and information on courses of study. This Agreement does not guarantee CGMH students acceptance into U-M; CGMH students will be considered for admission on an equal basis with all other applicants provided that they meet the prerequisites and requirements for admission to U-M. U-M reserves the right of final approval on the admission of a CGMH student.

F.
Workplans. To be eligible to participate in exchanges under this Agreement, all student and/or faculty/staff member candidates must present a plan for their proposed period in residence at the Host Institution (“Workplans”). Workplans may include programs of study, instruction, research, observation, or such other projects as the parties shall agree upon. Workplans should include information on the candidate’s background interests, training, and language capabilities, and must be in form and substance satisfactory to the Host Institution.

G. Language Ability. Students and/or faculty/staff members must possess language ability necessary to fulfill their Workplan.

H. Visa/Immigration Requirements. Visiting students and/or faculty/staff members are responsible for complying with all visa/immigration requirements, laws, and regulations of the host country, including obtaining and maintaining the appropriate visa and/or permits needed for participation in the exchange program during the entire term of the exchange program. Students and/or faculty/staff members hosted by U-M will be issued the necessary immigration documents by the University of Michigan to obtain the appropriate visa. The Host Institution shall bear no responsibility for those visiting students and/or faculty/staff members who fail to obtain and maintain any visas and/or permits or who fail to comply with the visa/immigration requirements, laws, and regulations of the host country. Each visiting student and/or faculty/staff member must keep the Host Institution informed of any changes in his/her immigration status.

I. Tuition and Fees. Each participating student will pay any tuition or other fees at their Home Institution and shall not be assessed additional tuition or fees by the Host Institution.

J.
Medical Costs. The Host Institution will assume no obligations for payment of medical insurance and medical or dental treatment costs of visiting exchange participants. Exchange participants will be required to carry adequate international health insurance and provide proof to the Host Institution that their insurance will cover the costs of health care during the period of exchange. If necessary, the Host Institution will assist in obtaining appropriate insurance, but such assistance does not include financial assistance. CGMH exchange participants who enter the U.S. on immigration documents issued by the University of Michigan will be required to have insurance that meets the specific standards described at http://internationalcenter.umich.edu/healthins/waiver.html#standards or to purchase the University of Michigan’s health insurance plan for international students and scholars.

K.
Local Costs/Expenses; Accommodations. Local costs, such as accommodations, meals, textbooks, course materials, and other personal expenses in connection with this Agreement shall be the responsibility of each individual student and/or faculty/staff member. Neither party shall be responsible for such expenses. The Host Institution will assist visiting students and/or faculty/staff members in obtaining accommodations to the extent feasible.

L. Rules and Regulations. Each participating student and/or faculty/staff member will be required to comply with the laws of the host country as well as the rules and regulations and of the Host Institution and their Home Institution. Any breach of Host Institution rules and regulations will be dealt with in accordance with the established policies and procedures of the Host Institution in consultation with the Home Institution

M. Information Sharing. To the extent permitted by law, the parties agree to the timely sharing of any information relating to possible concerns, disciplinary or otherwise, that either party may have, or of which either party is aware, relating to a student and/or faculty/staff member participating in an exchange pursuant to this Agreement. Each party also agrees to provide timely responses to any reasonable requests for information that the other party may make regarding a student and/or faculty/staff member participating in an exchange pursuant to this Agreement.

N.
Withdrawal. The Host Institution shall have the right to require a participating student or faculty/staff member to withdraw from the exchange program and Host Institution at any time if the student or faculty/staff member’s work or behavior has clearly not met the requirements of the Host Institution. This right will not be exercised without the Host Institution’s prior consultation with the Home Institution.

O.
Education Records. The parties acknowledge and agree that U-M is subject to—and many student records and other personally identifiable information regarding students (“Education Records”) are protected by—the U.S. Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (“FERPA”) and its implementing regulations. The parties further acknowledge and agree that U-M will comply with all applicable statutes, rules, and regulations respecting the maintenance of and release of information from such Education Records. CGMH agrees it will not release information contained in these Education Records and reports, but shall instead refer all requests for information respecting such Education Records to U-M.

SECTION II

Intellectual Property. The parties agree that participating students and/or faculty/staff hosted at the University of Michigan shall be responsible for complying with intellectual property, privacy, and export laws and regulations of the United States and the State of Michigan.

B.

In addition, U-M does not discriminate on the basis of sexual orientation (including gender identity and gender expression) in accordance with the policies of the University of Michigan.

C.
Financial Obligations; Limitation of Resources Committed. Neither party shall assume any financial obligations under this Agreement except as specifically provided for.
