政府刊憲 修訂港大校規處理損害大學聲譽投訴
The Government has gazetted amendments to the University of Hong Kong Statutes, allowing the HKU president to refer complaints involving “conduct damaging the university’s reputation” to the HKU Disciplinary Committee.
The amendments will take effect on the 20th of this month. In a document submitted to the Legislative Council earlier, HKU said the amendments had made reference to the practices of several local and overseas universities. They include changes to the composition and appointment procedures of the Disciplinary Committee: the existing Academic Board panel will become a “Teaching Staff Panel”; all staff at professor rank will be eligible to serve as committee members; and the “Student Panel”, formerly appointed by the Student Council, will instead be appointed by the Academic Board. The two panels will each be expanded to 30 members.
政府刊憲修訂香港大學規程，港大校長可把涉及「損害大學聲譽行為」的投訴交由港大紀律委員會處理。
修訂本月20日起實施。港大在早前提交立法會的文件指是參考多間本地及海外大學做法，修訂包括紀律委員會的組成程序，其中現時教務委員會小組改為「教師小組」；所有教授級人員都有資格擔任紀委會成員；原來由學生評議會委任的「學生小組」則改由教委會委任，兩個小組人數分別增至30人。

潘焯鴻揭港大重建地盤「蜂窩」現象 校方：承建商嚴肅跟進
The redevelopment site for the University of Hong Kong’s staff quarters in Pok Fu Lam has been found to show suspected “honeycombing” in the concrete, with some reinforcing bars also exposed. Jason Chuk-Hung Poon, chairman of Jung Fo Monitoring, released several photographs yesterday highlighting the issue and said on a radio programme this morning that HKU had known about it for some time. He expected some of the main beams and columns might have to be redone. In response to inquiries from Independent Media, HKU said it was following up seriously with the contractor concerned.
香港大學位於薄扶林的教職員宿舍重建地盤，被爆出石屎疑出現「蜂窩」現象，更有部分鋼筋外露，中科監察主席潘焯鴻昨發布多張圖片揭發事件，他今早在電台節目表指，港大對事件早已知情，預計部分主力樑柱或要「重做」。港大回覆《獨媒》查詢時稱，正與有關承建商嚴肅跟進。

強制分配室友政策：校方稱微調政策 增考慮因素 舍堂代表批掩飾問題
The Dean of Students Samson Shu Ki Tse announced by email to residents on May 25 that, following a forum on May 22, the university had decided to fine-tune its forced roommate allocation policy. In addition to trying to pair local and non-local students, it would also take residents’ interests and lifestyles into account. A university official had disclosed this intention in closing remarks at the forum. The dean also said the policy would be reviewed by an independent researcher, with details to be announced later, and that participants had raised many important questions about it.
Tang Chun-yin, a representative of the Li Ming Chak Hall Residents’ Association, told this newspaper that the email did not mention the attendees’ questions about the policy’s legality or doubts about its effectiveness, and was merely intended to “whitewash the issue”. Yeung Ngo-wai, an undergraduate representative on the Residence Committee, questioned the feasibility of the adjustment and said that fine-tuning the policy without fully listening to students would not help promote cultural integration among residents. Chan Tze-woon, an undergraduate representative on the Student Affairs Committee, also criticised the university for creating an “established fact” that the policy had already been approved before making “minor repairs”, without changing its compulsory nature. The representative expected the adjustment to do little to ease cultural conflicts and instead add to the administrative burden on hall offices and residents’ associations.
學生事務長謝樹基今（5月25日）以電郵向宿生宣佈，校方於5月22日之論壇後決定微調強制分配室友政策，除儘量配對本地生及非本地生外，亦會考慮宿生的興趣及生活習慣。曾有校方人員於論壇的結尾發言中透露此意向。謝亦稱政策將交由獨立研究員審視，日後公佈詳情。謝於電郵中亦稱認為參加者提出了很多關於政策的重要問題。
利銘澤堂宿生會代表鄧俊彥回覆本報查詢時批評，電郵沒有提及論壇上會眾對合法性問題及政策成效的質疑，只為「粉飾太平」。宿舍委員會本科生代表楊翺維質疑是次微調之可行性，並認為在沒有充份聆聽學生意見的情況下微調政策無助推動宿生文化共融。學生事務委員會本科生代表陳昱男亦批評校方製造政策已通過的「既定事實」，再「小修小補」，惟不改其強制執行之本質，預料微調政策對紓緩文化衝突幫助不大，徒添舍堂辦公室及宿生會之行政壓力。

分配室友政策正當性成疑 宿舍委員會未達共識 學生事務委員會從未批准
The university earlier announced a new hall policy under which roommates would be assigned to new hall residents from the next academic year, with local and non-local students paired where possible [1]. The policy reportedly was not approved at a Hall Committee meeting, nor discussed or approved by the Student Affairs Committee. A student representative criticised the university for bypassing the committee meetings.
The Hall Committee discussed the policy at a meeting on 19 April. The agenda included “discussion of proposals concerning the hall communities of the University of Hong Kong”; one proposal was to have wardens and hall offices assign rooms, but there was no proposal concerning local and non-local students sharing rooms. Hall representatives who attended said that, while the agenda was being discussed, the warden of Starr Hall, Anskar Yu Hung Leung, incorrectly said that Starr Hall had requested local freshmen to share rooms with non-local students [2]. The committee subsequently began discussing pairing local and non-local students as roommates. Some attendees raised concerns about cultural conflicts and the workload for halls, but the director of student affairs did not address them. A hall representative who attended said most student hall representatives opposed implementing the policy and some wardens had reservations. However, the university took a hard line and did not accept the opposing views. Committee chair and Vice-President (Teaching) Ho Lap-yan eventually ended student representatives’ remarks and closed the discussion on the grounds that it had gone on too long. The members did not reach a consensus at the meeting. Yeung Ngou-wai, the undergraduate representative on the Hall Committee, told this newspaper that the committee had generally made decisions by consensus in the past and had no majority-vote mechanism. This newspaper is making inquiries with Starr Hall warden Anskar Yu Hung Leung about the meeting’s contents.
校方早前公佈宿舍新政策，將在下學年起為新宿生分配室友，並儘可能配對本地生及非本地生 [1]。據悉，該政策未獲宿舍委員會會議通過，亦未經學生事務委員會討論及批准，有學生代表批評校方架空委員會會議。
宿舍委員會曾於4月19日的會議中討論此政策，會議議程包括「討論有關香港大學舍堂社群之建議」，其中一項建議為「改由舍監和舍堂辦公室分配房間」，但並無有關本地生與非本地生合宿之建議。當日與會之舍堂代表透露，討論該議程時，施德堂舍監梁如鴻誤指施德堂要求本地新生與非本地生合宿 [2]，隨後委員開始討論配對本地生及非本地生為室友，有與會人士關注文化衝突及舍堂工作量，但學生事務長避而不談。有與會舍堂代表指，大部分宿生代表均反對實施該政策，亦有舍監持保留態度，但校方態度強硬，未有接納反對意見，最終委員會主席兼副校長（教學）何立仁以討論過長為由，終止學生代表的發言並結束討論，會議中成員並未達成共識。宿舍委員會本科生代表楊翺維向本報表示，宿舍委員會過往會議多以共識作決策，沒有多數票決機制。本報正就會議內容向施德堂舍監梁如鴻查詢。

港大擬配對本地及非本地生同宿 學生代表：問卷調查97%同學反對
The University of Hong Kong’s Hall Committee issued a notice to wardens on Monday (15th), proposing that from the next academic year, hall offices would assign roommates to new residents and pair local and non-local students wherever possible, saying the aim was to promote integration and cultural exchange among residents. Casey Yau Hong Chik, an undergraduate representative on HKU’s Council, and Wong Chak-ming, an undergraduate representative on the Education Committee, surveyed students the day before yesterday. They received about 800 responses, 20% of them from non-local students, and 97% indicated opposition. They will meet with the university to discuss the matter.
香港大學宿舍委員會周一（15日）向舍監發通告，擬由下個學年起，舍堂辦公室會為新宿生分配室友，將盡可能配對本地及非本地生，稱是為了促進宿生間的共融及文化交流。港大校務委員會本科生代表戚由康、教委會本科生代表王則銘前日向學生發問卷作調查，收回約800個回應，當中兩成為非本地生，97%均表示反對，將約見校方商討。

馬雲獲聘香港大學榮譽教授 任期3年
The University of Hong Kong announced that it will appoint Alibaba (9988) founder Jack Ma as an honorary professor, with his term running from April 1 until March 2026. His academic field will be “management and business strategy”.

社會學學會疑另立憲章 成官方組織受學系管轄
According to a Constitution of the Sociology Society, HKU (Sociology Society, HKU, hereafter “the Society”) obtained by this newspaper, the Society is suspected of having drawn up a new constitution last year (2022). Its contents differ substantially from the existing Constitution of Sociology Society, SSS, HKUSU. The new constitution states that the Society is the “official student organisation” of the University of Hong Kong’s Department of Sociology and is under the department’s jurisdiction. It also lists “maintaining friendly relations” with the department among its founding principles.
據本報取得的一份《香港大學社會學學會憲章》，香港大學社會學學會（Sociology Society, HKU，下稱「學會」）疑於去年（2022年）制定新憲章，當中內容與原有之《香港大學學生會社會科學學會社會學學會憲章》（Constitution of Sociology Society, SSS, HKUSU）有頗大出入。新憲章列明學會為港大社會學系（Department of Sociology）的「官方學生組織」，受學系管轄，又將與學系「保持友好關係」列入創會理念。

港大內地生持花悼新疆火災 校方承認報警：擔心有公眾秩序問題
A fire in Urumqi, Xinjiang, killed at least 10 people and injured nine, prompting protests and memorials across the country since Friday night (25th). Yesterday, Chinese students at local universities joined the actions. At HKU, people held flowers and publicity materials on campus, and the university called the police; HKUST also saw people lighting candles and walking around campus wearing clothing associated with China’s epidemic-prevention personnel, while displaying publicity materials satirising speech censorship in China.
新疆烏魯木齊大火釀成至少10死9傷，自周五（25日）晚起引發全國各地抗議和悼念。昨日有本地大學的中國留學生響應行動，港大有人在校園內手持鮮花和文宣，校方報警處理；科大亦有人燃點蠟燭，並穿上中國防疫人員的服裝在校園內步行，沿路展示諷刺中國言論審查的文宣。
