港大校政風波|羅范椒芬、蔡素玉等港大校友聯署 稱對王沛詩管理能力失信心
The University of Hong Kong Council approved the appointment of several acting vice-presidents last week. HKU President Xiang Zhang wrote to staff, students and alumni yesterday, criticising the Council for proposing resolutions last week to appoint several acting vice-presidents without his or the Council members’ knowledge. Several HKU alumni co-signed a letter to Chief Executive John Lee, who is also the University’s Chancellor, saying they were deeply concerned that the Council had rapidly approved the appointment of several acting vice-presidents without consulting the President, once again stoking internal conflict and affecting the university’s normal operation. They said they had lost confidence in Council Chair Wang Peishi’s management ability, and hoped Lee would take decisive action to settle the turmoil as soon as possible and instruct the Council chair to consult the President promptly and put forward a remedial plan.

港大風波|事隔一周 港大官網更新 副校名單出現兩個版本
The HKU governance controversy has attracted considerable attention. Last Tuesday, the University Council approved the appointments of several acting vice-presidents despite opposition from President Xiang Zhang. One week later, HKU’s website updated its list of “University Officers”, but the introduction to the governance team in the President’s Office had not been updated. In other words, HKU’s official website now has two versions of its management roster.

【六四35】嶺大編委取消徵稿稱因「不可抗力」 校方:確保學生在安全正面環境中成長
The Lingnan University Students’ Union editorial board posted on social media last Friday (the 31st), inviting submissions under the title “Writing Together: Blood and Rain Yesterday”. It hoped to collect various literary and artistic works related to “May 35” and publish them on “the day after June 3”. However, that evening, editorial board announced that the call for submissions had been provisionally cancelled due to “force majeure”. It is understood that the university told editorial board it had received numerous email complaints and asked the students to remove the call-for-submissions post, otherwise it might consider no longer allowing the Lingnan University Students’ Union to use the university’s name.
Lingnan University told Independent Media in response to an enquiry that, after learning that a student organisation had published the relevant post on social media, it had immediately taken appropriate follow-up action. The university said it attaches great importance to students’ words and conduct, and that its top priority is to ensure they grow in a safe, healthy and positive environment. If it finds that students have engaged in conduct suspected of violating rules or potentially involving legal risks, the university will handle the matter seriously.
嶺南大學學生會編委會上周五(31日)在社交媒體發帖,以《共寫.昨日血雨》為題徵稿,希望收集關於「五月三十五日」的各類文藝創作,並在「6月3日翌日」發佈;但同日晚上,編委再宣佈由於「受不可抗力因素影響」,徵稿暫定取消。據了解,嶺大校方向編委稱收到大量電郵投訴,又要求學生撤銷徵稿帖文,否則可能考慮不再容許嶺大學生會使用大學名義。
嶺大回覆《獨媒》查詢指,得悉有學生組織於社交媒體上發布相關帖文後,已即時作出適當跟進。嶺大非常重視學生的言行,校方最優先考慮的是確保他們在一個安全、健康、正面的環境中成長。如果發現有學生有任何涉嫌違規或可能存在法律風險的行為,校方會嚴肅處理。

Hok Sik · Cafeteria and Hing Fook · Station, located on G/F of the Integrated Building, closed on 29 and 30 September last year respectively. At the time, then undergraduate representatives of the Student Affairs Committee Yik Yu-chin and Chan Tze-woon cited school sources as saying that the leases of the two remaining restaurants, U Deli and Starbucks, would end this year. Earlier this month, the school began inviting tenders for four catering premises each on G/F of the Integrated Building and at the Sassoon Road Campus. The tender closes this afternoon, 30 May. The school expects the relevant contracts to run for three years, with a discretionary two-year renewal after the contracts expire [1], and expects the catering outlets to begin operating on or before 1 September [2].
The tender documents include the General Conditions of Contract for the Provision of Services, which contain national security clauses. If a service provider engages in conduct highly likely to constitute an offence endangering national security, the school may disqualify it from the tender. It may also disqualify a tenderer if it reasonably believes this to be the case, or for the protection of national security, the public interest, public morality, public order and public safety. For a service provider that has been awarded a contract, the school may terminate the contract immediately if it reasonably believes that the provider has engaged in conduct highly likely to constitute an offence endangering national security, or that continuing the contract would be detrimental to national security.
早前,位於綜合大樓 G 樓的学食 · Cafeteria 及幸福 · 駅分別於去年 9 月 29 日及 9 月 30 日結業。當時,時任學生事務委員會本科生代表易汝芊和陳昱男引述校方消息表示,剩餘兩間餐廳(U Deli 及 Starbucks)之租約會於今年結束。本月上旬,校方開始為綜合大樓 G 樓及沙宣道校園各四個食肆舖位招標,今(5 月 30 日)下午截止;校方預期相關合約為期 3 年,並可於合約完結後酌情續約 2 年 [1],另預期食肆於 9 月 1 日或之前開始營運 [2]。
招標文件中附有服務合約通用條款(General Conditions of Contract for the Provision of Services),當中列有國安條款:若服務提供者作出大機會構成危害國家安全罪行的行為,校方則可取消其投標資格;若校方合理地相信以上屬實,或出於保護國家安全、公共利益、公共道德、公共秩序及公共安全的原因,亦可取消投標者的資格。對於已獲批合約的服務提供者,若校方合理地相信其作出大機會構成危害國安罪行之行為,或繼續合約不利國家安全,校方便可即時終止合約。

平機會指有大學擬考慮申請人「往績」 決定是否借場辦迎新活動
Universities hold orientation camps every summer, but after a suspected sexual misconduct case at an orientation camp at a university last year, universities introduced different measures to tighten arrangements. The Editorial Board of the Lingnan University Students’ Union recently revealed in a Facebook post that the university had set several rules for orientation activities: all activities must have their plans submitted and approved in advance, otherwise they are prohibited, and “anti-bullying and sexual harassment ambassadors” would monitor activities during their operation. At a Legislative Council Panel on Constitutional Affairs meeting, new Equal Opportunities Commission Chairperson Linda Mei Sau Lam confirmed that some universities had adopted these two measures. Linda Mei Sau Lam also disclosed that some universities were considering adding a new hurdle to applications to use university facilities by reviewing whether students had a “poor record” in their previous use of the facilities, and said the Commission “looked forward to” other universities introducing similar anti-sexual-harassment measures.

嶺大迎新活動禁「迎新營」字眼及不雅遊戲 稱按校園、社會最新發展優化指引
Sexual assault scandals emerged at orientation camps at several universities in Hong Kong last year. Lingnan University editorial board said the university held a briefing on orientation activities last Thursday, including a ban on using the term “orientation camp”, restrictions on holding orientation activities after the start of the academic year, and a ban on indecent games or activities. In response to an enquiry from The Initium about the tightened guidelines for student organisations’ orientation activities, Lingnan said it hoped student organisations would organise such activities in a more rigorous manner during the orientation process to safeguard participants’ rights and well-being, and had therefore refined its activity guidelines and recommendations.
