Role in the Community
Fresh corpus grep (2026-09-20, re-verified 2026-09-22: still zero hits, “Taiwanese Scholar Society” / CMU / Carnegie Mellon) found no material about this CMU club itself. The CMU mentions in the corpus concern other subjects:
- Our Journeys — 陳文成 testimony (Chen Wen-Cheng) — 陳文成 was a CMU math professor; the movement account names CMU President Richard Cyert and Prof. Morris DeGroot
- Erin Li interview — a CMU alumna filmmaker, unrelated to TSS
No corpus facts about TSS to absorb; page kept at directory-level depth.
Disambiguation (deepen-x recheck 2026-09-25): fresh ZH+EN grep matches 台灣學者協會 works — these are the Taiwanese Scholar Association in St. Louis (TSA-STL), a distinct organization, not this CMU club: TSA-STL directory record, TSA-STL 2017 年會手冊, TSA-STL 2018 年會手冊. The 台灣學者 mentions in [[works/taiwaneseamericanhistory-org/ourjourneys47|Our Journeys #47]] concern NATPA’s 返台年會 scholar invitations, also unrelated. Still zero corpus material on CMU TSS itself.
Recheck (deepen-x 09250500-1, 2026-09-25): fresh CMU/TSS grep adds only tangential mentions — [[works/taiwaneseamericanhistory-org/ourjourneys321-eng|Our Journeys #321]] and [[works/taiwaneseamericanhistory-org/ourjourneys292-eng|Our Journeys #292]] name Carnegie Mellon in the 陳文成 / Pittsburgh Taiwanese Association context, and Green Island Secrets mentions CMU incidentally. None concern this club; SKIP-with-reason stands.
Recheck (deepen-x 09260900-25, 2026-10-01): fresh ZH+EN grep of works/ + articles/ for “Taiwanese Scholar Society” / Carnegie Mellon returns the same tangential set (陳文成 testimony 8-eng and its Pittsburgh-context retellings 321, the Erin Li interview, and two taiwanjustice-net tech columns where Carnegie Mellon appears only as a researcher’s affiliation — Adobe co-founder Warnock/Geschke and the 2025 Trump AI-energy announcement). Zero corpus material about this CMU club itself; SKIP-with-reason stands.
Re-grep (deepen-x 10052158-6, 2026-10-07): five-dir grep for “Taiwanese Scholar Society” / 台灣學者協會 / TSS returns the TSA-STL works trio already disambiguated above plus works/index; the TSS matches in taiwanjustice-net articles are bare archive-digest hash strings, not the society. Zero corpus material on CMU TSS; SKIP-with-reason stands.
Re-grep (deepen-x slice 10070717-14, 2026-10-09): five-dir grep for “Taiwanese Scholar Society” / 台灣學者協會 / Carnegie Mellon / CMU returns the TSA-STL trio plus the tangential 陳文成 / Pittsburgh set already disambiguated above. Zero corpus material on CMU TSS; SKIP-with-reason stands.
