聖保羅書院聯署一日結束 舊生稱與校方交涉後「放棄追落去」 否認被施壓
A Form Five male student at St. Paul’s College died earlier while taking part in a Citizenship and Social Development exchange tour in Hangzhou. The authorities have not disclosed details of the case. Alumni and students launched an online petition calling on the college to provide a public and transparent account of the investigation’s findings. However, one day later, the petition organiser said the school appeared unable to provide any information because of “privacy and the family’s wishes”, and that he would no longer make any demands of the school and would leave matters to fate. The alumnus who initiated the petition told InMediaHK that he had “given up pursuing it”. He said the school had been friendly and had not exerted pressure during their contact, “which is why the statement specifically included encouragement for the teachers”.
一名聖保羅書院中五男學生,早前在杭州參加公社科交流團期間離世,當局未披露個案內容。有舊生及學生發起網上聯署,要求書院公開透明交代事件調查結果,惟聯署發起人在一日後稱,校方似乎因為「私隱及家屬意願」無法提供任何資料,因此將不再向校方作任何要求,各安天命。發起聯署的舊生向《獨媒》表示「已經放棄追落去」,又稱與校方接觸時,校方態度友善,未有施壓,「因此聲明中特意為老師加油」。

聖保羅書院學生杭州交流期間離世 蔡若蓮指調查結束:事件與考察無關
A Secondary 5 male student at St Paul’s College died earlier while taking part in a Citizenship and Social Development exchange tour in Hangzhou, prompting public questions about whether students must participate in mainland study tours or otherwise face the “consequences” previously mentioned by the Education Bureau. Secretary for Education Choi Yuk-lin responded to the incident for the first time today, saying she was saddened by it. She said the investigation had concluded and stressed that the incident was unrelated to the exchange activity or study-tour itinerary. Out of respect for the family’s wishes, she said details of the case would not be disclosed.
The student died earlier while participating in the exchange tour in Hangzhou. The school changed its social media cover image to black last Saturday (1st) and issued a press release on Monday (3rd), saying it was investigating the incident and had activated a crisis-management team, while appealing to the public to give the family space.

中大和聲學生會通過獨立註冊公投 投票率約三成
The student unions of CUHK’s colleges were earlier required by the university to register independently with the police. Harmonia College held a referendum on independent registration last week, with voting closing last Thursday (20 February). Turnout was 28.3%, exceeding the statutory threshold of 25%, and the motions to amend the constitution and register independently were passed. Lui Cheuk-lam, chairperson of the 12th Provisional Executive Committee of the Harmonia College Student Union, said turnout was lower than expected and the situation was unsatisfactory, reflecting the low level of overall student attention to student-union affairs.
The motion to amend the constitution received 366 votes in favour, 36 against and 13 abstentions. The motion to register independently with the Police Force received 344 votes in favour, 67 against and 11 abstentions. Both motions were passed.
Lui Cheuk-lam acknowledged that turnout was unsatisfactory, although it was similar to the approximately 27% turnout in the student-union election in January. However, the referendum concerned the interests of all students at the college and the future positioning of the student union, reflecting students’ low level of attention to student-union affairs.
中大各書院的學生會早前被校方要求向警方進行獨立註冊,和聲書院於上星期就獨立註冊進行公投,投票期於上周四(2月20日)結束,投票率為28.3%,超過25%法定門檻,修改會章及獨立註冊的議案獲通過。和聲書院學生會第12屆臨時行政委員會主席呂卓霖指,投票率比預期低,情況不理想,反映現時整體學生對學生會事務關注度偏低。
和聲學生會的獨立註冊公投,修改會章議案獲366票贊成、36票反對及13票棄權,向警務處進行獨立註冊的議案則獲344票贊成、67票反對及11票棄權,兩項議案皆獲通過。
呂卓霖則坦言投票率並不理想,雖然數字與1月的學生會換屆選舉約27%投票率相若。惟今次公投關乎到書院所有學生的利益和學生會未來的定位,反映學生對學生會事務的關注度偏低。

嶺大要求學生會簽承諾書 聲明「奉公守法遵守校規」 會方稱已諮詢法律意見
After two years without an elected cabinet, Lingnan University’s Students’ Union has finally elected a cabinet this term, which will formally take office next month. The university has required the Students’ Union to sign an undertaking stating that the union and organisations under it will “abide by the law and comply with university regulations”, including refraining from conduct that damages the university’s reputation. Otherwise, the university will prohibit the union from using the name “Lingnan University” and withdraw its support for student societies, among other measures.
Lingnan Students’ Union acting president Lai Cheuk-yin said it had sought legal advice and made further enquiries with the university, and did not currently plan to sign the undertaking before receiving the university’s response. In response to enquiries from InMedia, Lingnan University said the undertaking clarified its support, guidance and regulations for student organisations, and that it believed this would be beneficial to student organisations, including the Students’ Union, as well as to Lingnan University.
嶺南大學學生會經歷兩年「斷莊」後,今屆終有內閣當選,下月正式上任。校方要求學生會簽署「承諾」,聲明學生會及其轄下組織會「奉公守法,遵守校規」,包括不作損害校譽行為等,否則將禁止會方使用「嶺南大學」的名稱、撤回對學生社團的支援等。
嶺大學生會署理會長賴卓賢表示,已諮詢法律意見及再向校方查詢,暫不擬在校方回覆查詢前簽署承諾書。嶺大就回覆《獨媒》查詢稱,藉承諾書闡明對學生社團的支援、指引及規範,認為對包括學生會在內的學生社團及嶺大「均有裨益」。

未獲批簽證 台歷史學者棄中大任教 黃克武被要求補資料 質疑政治審查 入境處:按法律政策處理
Taiwanese historian Huang Ko-wu was invited by the Department of History at The Chinese University of Hong Kong to teach the undergraduate course “Topics in Modern Chinese History: Modern Chinese Thought and Figures”, beginning this month. He said the Hong Kong Immigration Department had recently asked whether he had undertaken related work in mainland China and requested his curriculum vitae, which he considered “political vetting”. Huang told this newspaper yesterday that, while awaiting visa approval, he had already missed the first two classes. After discussing the matter with the department, he decided to withdraw his visa application, and the university temporarily arranged for another teacher to take the course. Huang has travelled to Hong Kong and mainland China several times in recent years for academic exchanges. He said, “I really like Hong Kong; I’m just afraid the Hong Kong government does not welcome me,” and hoped that academic and cultural exchanges between Hong Kong and Taiwan could continue.
The Immigration Department told this newspaper yesterday that it did not comment on individual cases and would handle each application in accordance with the law and policy. CUHK confirmed that it had invited Huang Ko-wu to teach the course, but said that because he had not obtained a work visa before the course began, it had been reassigned to Puk Wing-kin, deputy head (internal affairs) of the Department of History. The university declined to comment on details of individual work visa applications.
未獲批簽證 台歷史學者棄中大任教 黃克武被要求補資料 質疑政治審查 入境處:按法律政策處理台灣歷史學者黃克武獲香港中文大學歷史系邀請,原定本月到校任教「中國近代史專題:中國近代思想與人物」本科生課程,稱近日被本港入境處查問他曾否在中國內地擔任相關工作,並索取他的履歷,認為遭「政治審查」。黃克武昨向本報說,候批簽證期間已錯過首兩節課,跟系方商討後,決定撤銷簽證申請,校方亦臨時換人任教。黃近年多次來港或北上學術交流,自言「好鍾意香港,就是怕香港政府不歡迎我」,冀香港與台灣之間的學術文化交流可繼續。
入境處昨回覆本報稱不評論個別個案,會按法律和政策處理每宗申請。中大確認邀黃克武任教課程,但因他未於開課前獲工作簽證,因此改由歷史系副主任(內務)卜永堅任教課程。校方不評論個別工作簽證申請細節。

港大新本科生校委 盼重建學生會
In an interview with this newspaper, Tang Chun-yin, the new undergraduate representative on the University of Hong Kong’s Council, said he hoped to promote the rebuilding of the Students’ Union during his one-year term. He said this could reverse the situation in which students lacked the right to know and the right to have a say whenever disputes over university governance arose. The first Council meeting during the tenure of the new chairman, Wang Dongsheng, is scheduled to be held today. Tang said he had met HKU’s management to discuss reorganising the Students’ Union and hoped the university would be forthcoming about any concerns it had regarding the reorganisation.
Tang, a third-year student pursuing a dual degree in Bachelor of Business Administration (Law) and Bachelor of Laws, intends to enter the legal profession. He is seeking mentorship from different barristers while balancing his studies with internships. In November last year, he succeeded the former Council member Casey Yau Hong Chik, who had served two consecutive terms, as the undergraduate representative on the Council for a one-year term.

曾有內地生涉簽證逾期仍在學 校方不評論 教大促900非本地生補交簽證紀錄
This newspaper received information alleging that a mainland undergraduate at the Education University of Hong Kong was detained by the Immigration Department last year for allegedly overstaying, while possibly continuing to study after the student visa had expired. The newspaper asked the university about the matter at the end of last year and received a reply early this year saying it would not comment. The Immigration Department said it discovered one case last October involving a person who had been issued a visa to come to Hong Kong to study and who overstayed. According to the university’s internal data, more than 900 non-local students had not submitted visa records to the university as of last month. The Academic Registry recently asked them to submit the information immediately for verification. If they fail to do so by next Friday (the 17th) or earlier, their student-card and other access privileges, including entry to residence halls, will be revoked immediately.
本報接獲消息,指一名來自內地的教育大學本科生去年涉嫌逾期逗留被入境處扣留,疑學生簽證逾期仍在學。本報去年底向教大查詢,今年初獲回覆稱不會評論。入境處稱去年10月發現一宗獲發來港就讀簽證者的逾期逗留個案。據悉教大內部數據顯示,截至上月逾900名非本地生未向校方提交簽證紀錄,教務處近日要求他們立即提交資料供查核,若下周五(17日)或之前未提交,會立即廢除學生證及進入宿舍等權限。

中大新任校長盧煜明履新 被問《大學線》報導:對學生係一個學習經驗
The Chinese University of Hong Kong’s new president, Lo Yuk-ming, took office today. A reporter referred to University Line’s report on the Care Teams, noting that Lo said last September that academic freedom would not cross the “red line” as long as the law was obeyed. The report was subsequently criticised by officials for “taking one part for the whole”. He was asked whether he believed the “red line” was truly not easy to cross and whether he could ensure academic freedom after taking office.
Lo did not respond directly. He said the student newspaper provided students with an internship opportunity and that he was aware of the different views in society regarding the report. He said that for students writing such reports, seeing the different views in society was also a learning experience.
中大新任校長盧煜明今日履新,記者提到《大學線》就關愛隊報導一事,指去年9月他曾稱如守法,學術自由不會踩中「紅線」,惟報導被官員批評「以偏概全」,問及他是否認為「紅線」真的不容易踩中、上任後是否能確保學術自由。
盧煜明沒有正面回應,稱「學生報係俾我哋啲學生有一個實習機會,亦都知道社會各界對呢個報導係有唔同意見。其實作為一個寫呢啲報嘅學生,佢見到社會上有唔同意見呢,亦都係一個學習經驗。」

段崇智指「外來干預」為離任原因之一 大學為自由思想及追求真理象徵需維持
CUHK President Rocky Tuan will step down on 7 January 2025 and will be succeeded by Lo Yuk-ming, Associate Dean of the CUHK Faculty of Medicine. The Times Higher Education, a British publication, published an interview with Tuan yesterday in which he said that “external interference” was one of the reasons he decided to leave early. Tuan said universities are symbols of free thought and the pursuit of truth, and believed this needed to be maintained and preserved.
During the 2019 anti-extradition bill movement, CUHK President Tuan went to the scene during the clashes at Bridge No. 2, drawing criticism from the pro-establishment camp. In 2022, Tuan was reappointed for three years to 2027 and again faced sustained criticism. Subsequently, three CUHK Council members who were also Legislative Council members introduced a private bill to amend the Chinese University of Hong Kong Ordinance and restructure the Council. After the ordinance was passed last year, Vice-President Eric Shu Pui Ng was dismissed by the Council with immediate effect. Less than a month later, Tuan resigned and stepped down early in January 2025.
中大校長段崇智將於下月7日(2025年1月)卸任,由中大醫學院副院長盧煜明接任。英國《泰晤士高等教育》昨日刊出段的訪問,指「外來干預」是他決定提早離任的原因之一。段崇智指大學是自由思想及追求真理的象徵,認為需予維持及保留。
2019年反修例運動期間,中大校長段崇智曾於二號橋衝突時到場,引來建制派批評。2022年,段獲續任三年至2027年,再遭持續批評。及後三名身兼立法會議員的中大校董提出私人草案,修訂《香港中文大學條例》,改組校董會。去年條例通過後,12月副校長吳樹培被校董會即時解僱,不足一個月後段崇智請辭,2025年1月提早卸任。
