學生會・嶺大|「斷莊」兩年組 11 人內閣「昶」:冀成為黑暗日子一道光
In recent years, several universities have stopped recognising student unions, refused to collect membership fees on their behalf, and reclaimed their use of facilities, leaving the student movement at a low ebb. After Lingnan University’s student union went two years without a cabinet, this year an 11-member team named “Cheung” has finally been formed to stand for election, with the name signifying a hope of becoming a ray of light shining into dark days. Issac Lai Cheuk-yin, the candidate for vice-president for external affairs, said: “We share common ideals, and all feel that there are things in Hong Kong that need to change.”
In recent years, however, Lingnan University has reclaimed the student union’s use of facilities including its office and the democracy wall, and stopped collecting membership fees on its behalf. Issac described the university as continuing to exert pressure through administrative means. He said that since the “cabinet recruitment meeting” last month, the university had sent staff to attend multiple student-union meetings, and that meeting agendas had to be submitted to the university for review in advance. On one occasion, when “June Fourth Week” was mentioned at a meeting, a university staff member intervened, saying: “It’s very dangerous and very sensitive.” With red lines everywhere, it remains uncertain whether the student union will be able to “negotiate and build”. Candidate president Hon Cheuk-yin said that standing for election was meaningful in itself, as it created an opportunity to put democracy into practice: “Some people may never have voted in their entire lives, so through the student union, they can feel that their vote has value.”
近年多間大學先後不再承認學生會、拒代收會費、收回場地使用權等,學運處於低潮。嶺南大學學生會「斷莊」兩年後,今屆終組成 11 人內閣「昶」參選,寓意成為照進黑暗日子的一道光。候選外務副會長賴卓賢 Issac 說:「我哋有共同理念,都覺得香港有啲嘢要改變。」
不過,嶺大過去幾年收回學生會會室、民主牆等場地使用權,停止代收會費,Issac 形容校方持續以行政手段施壓。他透露由上月「招莊會」起,校方派員出席多個學生會議,會議議程須預先呈校方審閱,試過會上提及「六四週」,即被校方人員出聲阻止稱「好危險好敏感」。紅線處處,能否「又傾又砌」仍是未知之數,候選會長韓焯彥認為單是參選已具意義,是創造實踐民主的機會,「可能有啲人成世都未投過票嘅,咁佢可以喺學生會呢度(感受)你呢一票係有價值。」

嶺大校長秦泗釗:學生會從不是嶺大一部分 修訂新生活動規劃為教育學生
The executive committee of the Lingnan University Students’ Union is currently vacant, with operations maintained by the Representative Council and the Provisional Administrative Committee. In an interview with Sing Tao Daily, Lingnan University president Joe Sizhao Qin discussed the relationship between the university and the Students’ Union, stressing that it is an independently registered organisation and has never been part of Lingnan University. The university has no power to bind it, and only society has such power over the Students’ Union, the president said. The president also said students are part of the university’s development, and that since taking office, they had met student organisations every semester and participated in the university’s orientation activities this year.
嶺南大學學生會幹事會出缺,目前以代表會及臨時行政委員會維持運作。嶺南大學校長秦泗釗接受《星島日報》訪問時,談到對校方與學生會關係,強調嶺大學生會是獨立註冊的組織,從來不是嶺大的一部分,校方對其沒有約束力,形容只有社會才對學生會有約束力,又指學生屬大學發展的一部分,上任後每個學期均與學生組織會面,今年亦有參與大學迎新活動。

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.
本港多間大學迎新營去年爆出性侵醜聞,嶺大編委會表示,校方上周四舉行迎新活動簡介會,包括禁止使用「迎新營」的字眼,及限制迎新活動在開學後舉行,並禁止不雅遊戲或活動等。對於收緊學生社團迎新活動指引,嶺大回覆《獨媒》查詢時表示,期望學生組織在迎新過程中,以更嚴謹方式組織相關活動,保障參加者的權益及福祉,所以優化活動指引及建議。

鄭國漢:有學生會成員自以為與校方共治 鄧飛認同:只有教授管治
Lingnan University’s Council proposed amendments under which an undergraduate student representative would be elected by undergraduates and then appointed by the Council, while a postgraduate student representative would also be added as an ex officio member of the Council and a member of the Court. During the Legislative Council committee’s discussion of the bill, Lingnan president Cheng Kwok-hon said some Student Union members had assumed they co-governed the university with the administration, adding that he himself had never used that term. Election Committee sector lawmaker Tang Fei agreed, saying that only professors govern universities. He said: “Even in the Song dynasty, people could say that scholar-officials co-governed with the emperor, but clearly that was not the case! Scholar-officials imagined it themselves; when it becomes a trend, it will become mainstream, so we must be very careful.”
嶺大校董會提出修例,由本科生互選出任學生代表,再經校董會委任產生,並增設研究生學生代表,成為校董會當然成員及諮議會成員。立法會委員會討論條例,嶺大校長鄭國漢指,曾有學生會成員自以為與校方「共治」大學,自己從不使用該字眼。選委界鄧飛認同,稱大學只有教授管治,認為必須警惕:「宋朝都可以話士大夫與天子共治,好明顯唔係啦!士大夫自己想像出嚟,當成為潮流就會變成主流,要好小心。」

嶺南大學擬修訂大學條例 廢除學生會會長在校董會及諮議會的成員地位
The amendment bill proposes removing the definition of the Students’ Union from Section 2 of the Principal Ordinance. The Students’ Union president would no longer be a member of the Council and Senate, while student representatives on the two bodies would increase from one to two: a full-time undergraduate student elected by undergraduate students in accordance with the regulations and appointed by the Council, and a full-time postgraduate student elected by postgraduate students in accordance with the regulations and appointed by the Council.
修例草案建議廢除《主體條例》第 2 條中學生會的定義,學生會會長將不再是校董會和諮議會的成員,兩會中的學生代表將由一名改為兩名:由本科學生按照規程互選產生並由校董會委任的全日制學生,以及由研究生學生按照規程互選產生並由校董會委任的全日制學生。

海康威視承包嶺南閉路電視系統 校方指舊有系統難以復修遂翻新
The brand of the CCTV equipment on campus, Hikvision, was previously accused of possibly assisting the Chinese Communist Party in violating the human rights of Uyghurs. In response to the organisation’s inquiries, the university said the old CCTV system had been in use for more than 20 years. The system had developed faults one after another in recent years, and some parts had been discontinued, making repairs extremely difficult or even impossible. From May to September this year, the university therefore invited security companies holding a Type III licence to bid, in accordance with the university’s procurement procedures. The tender documents specified the required functions, while bidders could use any suitable hardware and software to meet the university’s requirements and improve the system’s quality and stability.
校內閉路電視裝置品牌「海康威視」(Hikvision)早前被指有協助中共侵害維吾爾人權之嫌。校方回覆本會查詢,指舊有的閉路電視系統已使用超過二十年,近年系統陸續出現故障,加上部分零件經已停產,復修十分困難,甚至無法復修。故於今年五月至九月期間,校方根據大學的採購程序,邀請持有第三類別牌照的保安公司投標,並在招標文件中界定所需的功能,投標者可使用任何適當的軟硬件以滿足學校要求,改善系統的質素及穩定性。

嶺大學生自主經營5年 虎地書室結業 稱被大學剝奪空間及管理權
The bookstore and cultural space Fu Tei Bookstore, independently run by students on the Lingnan University campus, announced that it would close. It said that, as the university was reclaiming the rights to use venues and facilities belonging to organisations under the student union, it would be unable to retain its original premises. In future, organising activities or using venues would also require the university’s approval. Believing that continuing to operate under the university’s proposal would run counter to its original purpose, given that it had been deprived of its space and management rights, Fu Tei Bookstore decided to cease operations.
位於嶺南大學校園內、由學生獨立經營的書店及文化空間「虎地書室」宣布結業。書室指,因應校方收回學生會轄下組織場地及設施使用權,書室將無法保留原址,日後舉辦活動或使用場地亦須由校方審批;在空間及管理權被剝奪的情況下,書室認為按照校方的建議營運下去,有違當初成立的原意,因此決定停運。

校內大部分鏡頭為海康威視製造 品牌被指協助中共打壓維吾爾人
Members of the association found that most of the surveillance cameras on campus were made by the Chinese brand HikVision. A staircase leading to the Lau Chung-him Building appeared to have a 360-degree panoramic surveillance camera. However, HikVision was exposed in May this year for allegedly assisting the Chinese Communist Party in violating Uyghur human rights. A student also said they had seen technicians installing CCTV on campus as early as August, with more than a dozen newly packaged cameras made by HikVision placed beside them. The association is making enquiries with the school.
本會成員發現,校園內大部分監控鏡頭均為中國品牌海康威視(HikVision)製造,其中通往劉仲謙樓的樓梯疑似設有 360 度全方位監控鏡頭。然而,海康威視於今年 5 月被揭發協助中共侵害維吾爾人權。另外有同學表示早於 8 月目睹工程人員在校內設置閉路電視,其身旁置放著十數個新包裝、由海康威視製造的攝錄鏡頭。本會正向校方查詢。

紅碼者不准進入校園 黃碼者被禁在校內餐廳堂食 校方劃出劉仲謙樓外露天空地供黃碼者用膳
Following the Government’s adjustment of quarantine arrangements for arrivals in Hong Kong and the introduction of “red” and “amber” codes in LeaveHomeSafe, the university has revised its anti-pandemic policy. With immediate effect, red-code holders are barred from entering the campus. Lingnan University students, staff, student residents and outsourced contractors with amber codes may enter the campus, while other amber-code visitors may not. According to an email from the university, amber-code holders may not use sports facilities or dine in campus restaurants, but may still buy takeaway food there. The university has designated an open-air area outside Lau Chung Him Building for amber-code holders to eat. Arrivals in Hong Kong who wish to undergo four days of medical surveillance in university hostels must follow the university’s special arrangements and continue to wear masks even inside their hostel rooms. Amber-code holders must take a rapid antigen test every day and complete the nucleic acid testing required by the Government. If a test result is positive, they must report it to the university.
繼政府調整抵港人士檢疫安排,並在安心出行引入「紅黃碼」後,校方隨之更改防疫政策,從即日起,持紅碼人士不准進入校園;持黃碼的嶺大學生、教職員、宿生及外判承包商可進入校園範圍,其餘黃碼訪客則不得進入。據校方電郵,持黃碼人士不得使用運動設施及在校內餐廳用膳,但仍可在校內餐廳購外賣,校方已劃出劉仲謙樓外的露天空地供黃碼人士用膳。如抵港人士欲在校內宿舍進行四天醫學監察,須遵從校方特別安排,即使在宿舍房間內仍須佩戴口罩。持黃碼人士須每天進行快速抗原測試,完成政府規定的核酸測試要求,如測試結果呈陽性,便需向校方申報。
