Academic career (absorbed from TAH profile tables)

王美珠 earned her B.A. in Accounting and Banking at National Taiwan University (1961), then completed both her M.A. (1965) and Ph.D. (1967) in Economics at the University of Rochester. Her teaching record runs from an assistant professorship at New York University (1967–1969) through visiting (1975–1976) and assistant (1981–1987) appointments at National Taiwan University’s Department of Business, to the University of Colorado Denver economics department, where she was associate professor (1987–2000), professor (2000–2008), and professor emerita from 2008. TAH’s encyclopedia records her distinction as the first Taiwanese American woman to reach this career milestone (see [[works/taiwaneseamericanhistory-org/firstfamous-389-prof-mei-chu-wang-hsiao||TAH #389]] and [[works/taiwaneseamericanhistory-org/whos-who-1559-mei-chu-wang-hsiao||TAH #1559]]).

Corpus re-check (deepen-x slice 09142101-7, 2026-09-14)

  • SKIP-with-reason: corpus grep (王美珠 / Mei-Chu across works + articles) returns only her own two TAH records (#389, #1559) and the works index — no memoir/community mentions elsewhere. Husband Prof. Frank S.T. Hsiao’s page cross-documents the same T.A. Archives (台美史料中心) Colorado context already noted above; no new absorbable facts, no conflicts to HOLD.

  • SKIP note (deepen-x 09150316-9, 2026-09-15): re-sweep returned the same hits (#389, #1559 + works index) — SKIP-with-reason stands.

  • SKIP note (deepen-x 09150400-8, 2026-09-15): re-sweep returned the same hits (own TAH encyclopedia stubs + works index) — no memoir/newsletter/community mentions; SKIP-with-reason stands.

  • SKIP note (deepen-x 09150500-1, 2026-09-15): re-sweep（王美珠|Mei-Chu, works＋articles）returned the same hits — own #389／#1559 條目＋works/index only; no memoir/newsletter/community mentions; SKIP-with-reason stands.
