當選中大校友校董譚天樂：盼跟進選舉DQ問題
The results of the election for an alumni representative to the Chinese University of Hong Kong (CUHK) Council were announced yesterday. Of the more than 252,000 eligible voters, 1,114 cast ballots, exceeding the specified minimum threshold of 1,000 voters, for a turnout of 0.44%. Timothy Tin Lok Tam, chair of the Board of Directors of the CUHK Alumni Association Federation Education Foundation, was elected with 688 votes, while the other candidate, Barbara Pik Lin Kwok, founding president of the CUHK Greater Bay Area Alumni Association, lost with 426 votes. Timothy Tin Lok Tam told this newspaper that they were “happy” with the result, but also considered that “the responsibility is heavy and the road ahead is long”. After being elected, they hoped first to follow up on issues concerning restrictions on publicity during the election and the disqualification (DQ) of a candidate.
The CUHK alumni trustee election was repeatedly embroiled in controversy before polling. These included a prospective CUHK alumni candidate being disqualified on the grounds of lacking a record of “good service to CUHK”. In addition, an official WeChat post by CUHK (Shenzhen) promoted only Barbara Pik Lin Kwok and did not mention Timothy Tin Lok Tam, prompting alumni to question whether this was unfair; the post was subsequently removed. Some CUHK alumni also said in recent days that the election had introduced new rules prohibiting candidates from promoting themselves online. In an earlier response, CUHK only said that candidates could promote their campaigns on multiple election platforms provided by the university.
香港中文大學校董會校友評議會成員選舉昨公布結果，逾25.2萬名合資格投票人中，有1114人投票，超過最少1000人投票的指定門檻，投票率0.44%。當中「中大校友會聯會教育基金會董事會」主席譚天樂獲688票當選，另一候選人「香港中文大學粵港澳大灣區校友會」創會會長郭碧蓮以426票落敗。譚天樂回覆本報稱對結果「開心」，同時認為「任重道遠」，當選後冀先跟進是次選舉宣傳受限及有參選人被取消資格（DQ）的問題。
今次中大校友校董選舉於選前屢傳爭議，包括有擬參選的中大校友被以欠缺「良好服務中大」紀錄為由DQ。另中大（深圳）官方微信有帖文只宣傳郭碧蓮，但未提譚天樂，被校友質疑是否不公平，而帖文早前下架。亦有中大校友日前稱，今次選舉設新規則禁止候選人自行在網絡宣傳，中大早前回覆時僅稱候選人可在校方多個選舉平台宣傳競選。

中大校董選戰｜兩校友被DQ 禁自行網上拉票 候選人後援會：公開選舉走向弔詭沉寂
The Chinese University of Hong Kong is holding the election for a member of the Alumni Constituency of the University Council, with one alumni trustee to be elected. Electronic voting begins today (22nd). The election has been beset by a series of controversies, including the suspected introduction of a “good service to CUHK” threshold, which resulted in prospective alumni candidates being disqualified (DQ), and a new rule prohibiting candidates from promoting themselves online independently, requiring them to use the university’s official channels. The support group of qualified candidate Timothy Tin Lok Tam posted a statement questioning why an election that should be open had, oddly, become quiet. CUHK told Yahoo News that candidates may conduct campaign activities on “multiple election platforms of the university”.
中文大學舉行「大學校董會校友評議會成員選舉」，選出一位校友校董，今（22日）起進行電子投票。今次選舉接連發生風波，包括疑新增「良好服務中大」門檻，有意參選的校友被取消參選資格（DQ）；又增設規則禁止候選人自行網絡宣傳，必須透過校方官方渠道。成功入閘候選人譚天樂的後援會發文質疑，本應公開的選舉，弔詭地走向沉寂。中大校方向《Yahoo新聞》覆稱，候選人可在「校方多個選舉平台」進行競選宣傳活動。

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。

嶺大校董選舉｜學生會署理會長參選被 DQ 被指以「非官方途徑自我宣傳」
The Lingnan University Ordinance was amended last year, removing the provision that the president of the Students’ Union would serve as an ex officio member of the Council and a member of the Court. The arrangement was changed so that the representatives would be elected by students and then appointed by the Council. The first undergraduate representative election for the Council following the amendment was originally scheduled for today (14th). Lai Cheuk-yin, the acting president of the Students’ Union, was one of the candidates, but the university abruptly disqualified him yesterday, saying that he had breached the election rules by “promoting himself through unofficial channels”. It subsequently announced that student Lo Cheng Oi-wa, the sole candidate, had been elected as the student representative on the Academic Board.
Lai Cheuk-yin wrote on social media last night that the university had received complaints made under the complainants’ real names, alleging that he had put up publicity posters on campus, promoted himself on social media and accepted media interviews. He said the university had ruled that he had breached the rules without giving him an opportunity to appeal. He criticised the university for verbally prohibiting candidates from conducting public promotion while the election regulations did not expressly state this, saying that his disqualification was “extremely absurd”. He also said he had sought legal advice on the matter and was considering applying for judicial review. Lingnan University said it confirmed receiving complaints made under the complainants’ real names and, after investigation, established that the candidate had promoted himself through unofficial channels, leading to his disqualification.
《嶺南大學條例》去年被修訂，當中取消由學生會會長出任校董會當然成員及諮議會成員，改由學生互選產生、再由校董會委任。修例後的首次校董會本科生代表選舉，原定今日（14日）舉行，學生會署理會長賴卓賢是參選人之一，昨突被校方取消參選資格，指他「以非官方途徑進行自我宣傳」(promoting himself through unofficial channels) 屬違反選舉規則，並宣布教務會學生代表由唯一候選人學生盧鄭愛娃當選。
賴卓賢昨晚在社交媒體發文，指校方接獲實名投訴，舉報他在校園範圍內張貼宣傳海報、在社交媒體進行宣傳、接受傳媒訪問，校方裁定違規後未有給予其申訴機會。他批評校方口頭禁止候選人作公開宣傳，選舉規例又未有明文列明，他因此而被取消資格「是極為荒謬」；又表示已就事件諮詢法律意見，考慮申請司法覆核。嶺大回覆指，確認收到實名投訴，經查證後證實候選人透過非官方渠道進行自我宣傳，因而取消其參選資格。

前學生會成員參選校友評議會再被DQ 斥主席楊于銘「想中大人支持又拒年青校友於門外」
The CUHK Alumni Council, which faced controversies earlier this year over disqualifying candidates and barring alumni from proposing motions, will hold its annual general meeting on 19 August. Anthony Suen, a former chair of the CUHK Students’ Union Representatives Council who was previously disqualified, and Tse Wai-lok, former president of the Shaw College Students’ Union, announced yesterday (27th) that they would run again. This afternoon, however, they said they had been disqualified again, criticising the Standing Committee for exceeding its authority without explaining the grounds and for violating procedural justice. Anthony Suen told InMedia that the Standing Committee chair Kelvin Yu Ming Yeung wanted alumni to unite in support of his joint petition opposing the CUHK amendment proposal, but “shut young alumni out”, saying he was unworthy of being a CUHK person.
年初出現取消候選人資格、禁止校友提出議案等爭議的中大校友評議會，將於8月19日舉行周年會員大會，其中曾被DQ的前中大學生會代表會主席孫昊賢，及前中大逸夫書院學生會會長謝煒洛昨（27日）宣布再次參選，惟今午稱已再被DQ，批評常委會無交待理據下越權、違反程序公義。孫昊賢向《獨媒》表示，常委會主席楊于銘想校友團結支持他反對中大修例方案的聯署，卻「拒年青校友於門外」，斥其枉為中大人。

被DQ校友評議會候選資格 三中大校友申司法覆核
The Standing Committee of the Chinese University of Hong Kong Alumni Convocation earlier disqualified three registered alumni from standing for election without providing reasons or giving them an opportunity to make representations before the disqualification. After consulting a legal team, the three said they had instructed lawyers to apply to the High Court for judicial review.
