As a teacher, he took an almost sadistic approach to his job and would often enthusiastically torment his students. He was once obsessed with Latin culture and proclaimed himself "El Tigre Chino" (The Chinese Tiger). Not only does this feed his delusions of grandeur but also leads him to become a bully. His erratic temperament usually stems from whether or not he is in a position of authority it is then that he experiences inexplicable self confidence and extreme narcissism. –Ben Chang, " Introduction to Statistics".Ĭhang is a very unbalanced man whose mania grows over the course of his time at the school. He also used to swim regularly at the local YMCA. Chang's hobbies include paintball, playing keytar, riding his scooter, and snowboarding. His current position at school is unknown, but he is now officially a member of the " Save Greendale Committee". Ultimately, he eventually dropped the ruse, went to jail for his crimes, and was put in a work-release program employed at Greendale as a math teacher. He was gradually accepted back and Shirley even employed him at her sandwich shop. After his "regime" came to an end, he returned to the school months later claiming to have amnesia. Chang grew mentally unstable during this time and used his job to stage a coup d'état and took over the school. Dean Pelton learned about his situation and hired him to be a campus security guard. He was kicked out and after a brief stay at Jeff Wingers apartment, eventually took up residence in the Greendale ventilation system. This was due to him having gotten roofied and having an affair with another student at a Halloween party. However, his personal life took a turn for the worse when he and his wife got divorced. Chang was immediately fired but was allowed to enroll at the school as a music student with hopes of also earning a legitimate teaching degree. This job came to an end after an anonymous source revealed to Dean Pelton that he faked his teaching credentials.
