CUHK Council Election | At Least Two Alumni Candidates DQ’d; University Refuses to Explain
中大選校董｜至少兩參選校友被 DQ 校方拒覆原因
After the Chinese University of Hong Kong’s 34-member Council was “reformed”, two seats for undergraduate and alumni representatives remain vacant. Nominations for the alumni Council election were held from the 9th to the 22nd of last month, and the Council Secretariat announced the names of two candidates on the 13th. The Collective confirmed through multiple sources that at least two CUHK alumni who had secured enough nominations and registered to stand were disqualified without receiving any inquiries or notification. An unnamed former CUHK Council member criticised the system as unfair and questioned: “On what grounds were they DQ’d?” A CUHK alumnus said the election was “merely a prearranged façade” intended to allow the Council to remain controlled by a small circle.
中大校董會「被改革」後，34 人校董會仍缺本科生及校友代表兩席。校友校董選舉提名上月 9 日至 22 日舉行，校董會秘書處日前（13日）公布兩名候選人名單。《集誌社》從不同消息確認，至少兩名已獲得足夠提名及報名參選的中大校友，在沒接獲任何查詢或通知下，候選資格無故被 DQ。有不願具名的前中大校董批評制度不公，質疑制度不公「憑乜嘢 DQ？」，有中大校友質疑選舉「不過是內定的幌子，志在令校董會繼續把持於小圈子之中」。 《集誌社》向中文大學查詢共幾多人報名參選、未能參選人數和原因等等。中大未有直接回覆，僅指校董會屬下「選舉事務委員會」於 13 日確認「初步獲接受的候選人提名名單」，並將於 9 月 2 日公告最終候選人名單及有關資料。
