浸大文社兩院合併 關注組指校方取消場地 諮詢會取消 街站繼續
The concern group over the merger of Hong Kong Baptist University’s Faculty of Arts and Faculty of Social Sciences said today (11th) that it had decided to cancel the consultation meeting originally planned for tonight, but would continue setting up street booths for four consecutive days. The group said the university had suddenly cancelled the consultation meeting venue at short notice yesterday. After careful consideration, it had “painfully decided to cancel” the meeting. Dai Ka-ping, a member of the group, told The Collective that the group had begun preparing for the consultation meeting as early as December to allow students, staff and alumni to participate. The target attendance was about 100 people, but the preparations had encountered repeated setbacks.
浸會大學文院社科院合併關注組今日（11日）表示，決定取消原本計劃今晚舉行諮詢會，但仍會一連四日擺設街站。關注組表示，校方昨天突然臨時取消諮詢會場地，經過周詳考慮，「忍痛決定取消」。關注組成員戴嘉平回覆《集誌社》時表示，關注組早在 12 月已籌備諮詢會，讓師生及校友參與，目標參與人數約 100 人，可惜波折重重。
