PolyU Student Union to Install CCTV in Some Student Union Premises
學生會幹事會就學生活動室內頻密出現財物損失、非幹事成員使用幹事會房間、環境清潔問題及設施損壞等情況,建議安裝閉路電視以解決上述問題。提出該決定後,幹事會並未收到其他組織幹事的反對,繼而順利通過。有關安裝閉路電視後的私隱問題,前幹事會會長表示校方需事先得到學生會的同意才有權調閱監視內容。
The Student Union Executive Committee proposed installing closed-circuit television cameras to address frequent losses of property, use of Executive Committee rooms by non-Executive Committee members, cleanliness problems and damage to facilities in student activity rooms. After the proposal was put forward, the Executive Committee received no objections from officers of other organisations, and it was subsequently passed smoothly. Regarding privacy concerns following the installation of CCTV, a former Executive Committee president said the university would need to obtain the Student Union’s consent in advance before it could access the surveillance footage.

HKU CCSO to “take over” affiliated societies from July, with university empowered to intervene in activities
校方表示不承認香港大學學生會 (HKUSU) 在校內的地位,以及學生會架構下的院務委員會、文化聯會等傘狀組織(Umbrella System),CCSO只會接受獨立的屬會註冊,故屬會須另外準備沒有「HKUSU」字樣屬會的憲章及印章。屬會可自由與外間機構(包括HKUSU)聯繫,惟需遞交相關證明文件。
The university said it did not recognise the status of the Hong Kong University Students’ Union (HKUSU) on campus, or umbrella organisations under the students’ union structure, such as faculty affairs committees and cultural associations. The CCSO would accept registrations only from independent affiliated societies, so the societies would have to separately prepare constitutions and seals without the words “HKUSU”. The societies could freely liaise with outside organisations, including HKUSU, but would have to submit relevant supporting documents.

HKU societies not registered with CCSO barred from using university facilities from July
「學生組織行為守則」(下稱「守則」)由CCSO負責執行,其要求所有於香港大學校園運作的學生組織(包括未向CCSO登記之組織)確保活動合乎香港法律、香港大學政策及各項指引。有學生指香港大學政策及指引數量眾多,就如何獲取相關資訊發問;校方表示,不會提供完整的政策名單予學生參考,學生要合乎的是香港大學政策的「整體架構」(framework of essential aspects)。
就仲裁及上訴機制,守則列明CCSO有權要求懷疑未有遵守守則的學生組織更改做法。學生組織可就有關爭議(disagreement)向CCSO提交書面回覆,如雙方未能達成共識,則須上訴至CCSO轄下的「諮詢委員會」(Advisory Committee),由首席副校長、副校長(教學)、學生事務長、CCSO總監及教務長審理。惟校方未有公開審核上訴申請的準則,亦拒絕承諾學生代表能否參與審核程序。
The Code of Conduct for Student Organisations (the “Code”), administered by CCSO, requires all student organisations operating on the University of Hong Kong campus, including those not registered with CCSO, to ensure that their activities comply with Hong Kong law, HKU policies and various guidelines. A student questioned how to obtain information on the relevant requirements given the large number of HKU policies and guidelines. The university said it would not provide students with a complete list of policies; students are required to comply with the “framework of essential aspects” of HKU policies.
Regarding arbitration and appeals, the Code states that CCSO has the power to require student organisations suspected of failing to comply with the Code to change their practices. Student organisations may submit a written response to CCSO concerning the disagreement. If the two sides cannot reach a consensus, an appeal must be made to the Advisory Committee under CCSO, which is to be considered by the Chief Vice-President, Vice-President (Teaching), Dean of Students, CCSO Director and Registrar. However, the university has not made public the criteria for reviewing appeal applications and has declined to commit on whether student representatives may participate in the review process.

The University of Hong Kong today (the 5th) removed the hoardings around Taikoo Bridge outside Taikoo Hall.

In response to an enquiry, HKU reiterated that it carries out “regular maintenance as appropriate” at different locations and facilities.

Half of CityU editorial board members resign, criticised for betraying Gei Wui’s trust
評議會昨(3月2日)召開第二十三次常務會議,議程包括處理應屆編輯委員會成員的辭職申請。申請辭職的編委會成員包括內務副總編輯郭曉明及三名執行編輯林海琪、梁伊婷及陳靜。
一眾請辭的編輯均表示自己需兼顧的範疇過多,無瑕處理編委會的事務而選擇辭退。另外,部分編輯以社會環境的轉變為由決定辭任。
The Council held its 23rd regular meeting yesterday (March 2), with the agenda including the resignation applications of current editorial committee members. The editorial board members seeking to resign included deputy editor-in-chief for internal affairs Kwok Hiu-ming and three executive editors: Hoi Ki (1985) Lam, Leung Yi-ting and Ching (1948) Chen.
The resigning editors all said they had too many areas to oversee and no time to handle editorial board affairs, leading them to choose to resign. In addition, some editors decided to step down because of changes in the social environment.

CityU Students’ Union Leaves Campus; President Says Era No Longer Allows Students’ Unions to Exist
城大學生會在校方的要求下遷出校園。過百名學生參與臨別儀式,學生會代表由學生會出發,在建築物前以毛筆寫下「思想自由,學術自主,寸步不讓,抗爭到底」的標語,最後以民主牆和民主女神像為終站,邀請學生寫下感言貼上民主牆。
The City University Students’ Union moved off campus at the university’s request. More than 100 students took part in a farewell ceremony. Representatives of the Students’ Union set out from its premises and wrote the slogans “Freedom of thought, academic autonomy, not yielding an inch, resisting to the end” in Chinese calligraphy outside the building. They ended at the Democracy Wall and the Goddess of Democracy statue, inviting students to write messages and post them on the wall.
