港大內鬥｜「調研期間」 校委會會議 不足半小時散會
The governance dispute at the University of Hong Kong continues, with the University Council and President Zhang Xiang engaged in a public war of words over the appointment of a vice-president. The Council held a special meeting at 4pm today (19th) at HKU’s Knowles Building. The university said that both President Zhang Xiang and Council Chairperson Wong Pui-see attended, but the meeting ended before 4.30pm, lasting less than half an hour. Council members present included former Legislative Council member Abraham Razack, JPMorgan managing director David Pak Wai Lau, and HKU honorary clinical professor in the Department of Orthopaedics and Traumatology Shew Ping Chow. Norman Chihnan Tien, who was earlier appointed by the Council as Acting Vice-President (Administration and Finance), was also present.
