Why a research student pays tuition fee and still have to do this technician
job?
I tell you what I saw not in Taiwan.
Students can suggest something to buy or something to borrow.
However, to buy them is not a student's job,
and they are even not allowed to do.
The procedures can be not that complicate or very complicate, depending
on how cheap the goods is.
For the cheap and regular stuffs, that is senior research fellows' job.
The senior research fellows give orders to technicians, or whoever,
and technicians do the rest. Certainly, the fellows got to check and sing-for
to complete the procedures. When there is no senior fellow can do this, then
it would be lecturers' job.
Expensive stuffs are much more complicate. Even the money can be from an
industrial project, the decisions got to be approved in the internal group
meeting and then the case will be sent to the university central
administration.
It will be still the research fellow's responsibility to survey the suppliers/
manufacturers who can provide the machine or whatever. The information needs
to be sent to the cantral administration to check every detail.
Certainly, professional comments from the research group will be concerned.
Eventually, the central administration signs the contract with the suppliers.
The research fellow check the goods and argue/contact with the suppliers
for the rest.
There is nothing of student's job, although they would be allowed to take part
in the market survey and enquiry, and group meeting. But they never seen the
money and contract.
A student's job is to do the literature survey and suggest what technology
is available or realistic. Students won't be so good to judge a methodology
found in a paper (and that might be too good to be true!); so the group
meeting coming in. Price survey is basically not research. You can also say
it is a low level job. At least, you got to be paid for doing this.
This is also a reason why nobody put the price information even in an appendix
of their theses.
If you are not paid but have to this, sorry, you are unlucky.

In fact, if you are talking about the difference of classes,
Are you happy with that academic culture in Taiwan?
Is not the difference between students and lecturers even clearer?
The truth is, when they are talking about holidays, salary, etc, the difference
between the two classes are very clear.
On the other hand, if they are talking about job (applying projects, writing
proposal, even takes care of master students.. etc.),
then the difference can be very unclear.
If you are the student, do you like this?
What I was talking about is a well-managed system.
Everybody has their responsibility and characteristics.
They should do something and should not touch some others.
Once all these are well governed by laws or regislation, then lecturers
and students can be friends and nothing to argue. Everything written on papers.
If one side is not happy, go to appeal then.
We all know the definition of the word, appeal, however, how many times have
you seen this occurs? If you count the articles in this board, for how many
times 'to appeal' was suggested, and for how many times 'not to appeal' was
suggested, there is one much more the other. Why? and what makes this?
My answer would be 'this system is not well-governed.' How about yours?
There are even more concerns about the money issues.
You might think to allow the students to spend public funds directly can speed
up the processing. However, if the students make some mistakes, who got to be
responsible for this?
You might think to forbid to touch the money can increase loads on the
lecturers, however, this also protect the students from guilty and they are
not paid for doing this.
The university central administration should intervene the purchasing
processes, as they can be professional at this. There is less possibilities
that they would be cheated by non-sense prices. The research group and the
central administration can even monitor each other.
The results is we can save more money and not to spend it stupidly.
