《明報》︱城市大學限制學者受訪 須事前獲大學審批 外國領事人員到校亦要先報備
Local media regularly interview university scholars about social events and current affairs, seeking professional opinions or comprehensive analysis. A Ming Pao column disclosed that City University of Hong Kong began restricting scholars’ media interviews about two years ago, requiring them to notify the university in advance and obtain approval. A campus source said some scholars “fear the trouble” and simply decline media interviews, adding that activities jointly organised with foreign consulates on campus, or the presence of consular personnel, must also be reported to the university in advance. Guang Media reviewed reports relating to City University over the past 18 months and found that more of them focused on international rankings and research achievements, with fewer responses to social news.
本地傳媒不時會就社會事件、時事議題訪問各院校學者，提供專業意見或作全面剖析。《明報》專欄透露，香港城市大學約兩年前開始限制校內學者接受訪問，規定他們須事先通知校方並獲審批。校內消息人士坦言，部分學者「怕麻煩」索性婉拒傳媒採訪，又指若與外國領事館在校園合辦活動或有領事人員出現，均需事前向學校報備。《光傳媒》翻查過去一年半與城大相關的報道，發現較多聚焦在國際排名及研究成果，較少回應社會新聞。
《明報》專欄披露，城大約於兩年前實施新規定，要求學者收到傳媒查詢或採訪邀請，需通知大學傳訊及數據研究處，並向大學提交訪問問題。大學可建議學者拒絕訪問；若獲批准，校方也可就應對傳媒策略提出建議，例如回答問題的方向，或某些問題不要回答等。

城大修例獲立法會三讀通過 撤學生會主席任當然校董 有議員形容是「撥亂反正」
The Legislative Council today (14 May) passed the Hong Kong City University (Amendment) Bill at its third reading, formally abolishing the student union president’s ex officio seat on the University Council and replacing it with a representative elected by undergraduates from among themselves. City University of Hong Kong welcomed the amendment, saying it would help enhance undergraduate representation on the University Council.
The bill stipulates that the student union president’s ex officio membership will be replaced by a representative elected by undergraduates from among themselves and appointed by the University Council.
CityU has failed to elect a student union president successfully on several occasions in recent years. The university considered the student union’s legitimacy insufficient and previously said that the existing arrangement, under which the chair of the Senate serves as acting president and then becomes a member of the University Council, was contrary to the original legislative intent. Cheung Yu-yan, chairman of the Bills Committee, said that the student union president could not be elected in four of the past five years, and that the amendment could improve the representativeness issue.
Legislator Luk Han-man said that only 146 people voted in the 2024 student union election, accounting for less than 7% of those eligible to vote, and considered the election lacking in representativeness. Election Committee constituency lawmaker Lau Chi-pang said the amendment amounted to ‘putting things right’ and would help rationalise the system.
Lawmaker Dennis Tsz Wing Leung said that the university had become an ‘arms factory’ during 2019, while the student union still bore a ‘black mark’. He supported the amendment as lawful and reasonable, and believed that other universities would follow in the future.
立法會今日（5 月 14 日）三讀通過《香港城市大學（修訂）條例草案》，正式撤銷學生會會長在校董會中的當然席位，改為由本科生透過互選產生代表加入校董會。香港城市大學表示歡迎修例，認為有助提升本科生在校董會內的代表性。
條例草案規定，由一名由本科生互選產生並獲校董會委任的代表，取代學生會會長的當然成員身份。
城大近年多次未能成功選出學生會會長，校方認為學生會的認受性不足，曾表明現時由評議會主席署任會長再成為校董會成員的安排，有違立法原意。法案委員會主席張宇人指，過去 5 年內有 4 年無法選出學生會會長，修例可改善代表性問題。
議員陸瀚民提到，2024 年學生會選舉僅 146 人投票，佔可投票人數不足 7%，認為選舉欠缺代表性。選委界議員劉智鵬認為，今次修例屬「撥亂反正」，有助合理化制度。
議員梁子穎稱，2019 年期間大學淪為「兵工廠」，學生會仍有「黑色印記」，支持修例是合法合理，相信未來其他大學亦會跟從。

城大擬修例撤學生會長校董席位 學生會發公開信強烈反對
The Legislative Council Panel on Education discussed yesterday (6th) a proposed Members’ Bill to amend the City University of Hong Kong Ordinance (Cap. 1132). The bill proposes replacing the Student Union president as a member of the Council with an undergraduate elected by undergraduates and appointed by the Council. Leung Tsz-chun, acting president of the CityU Student Union, issued an open letter today (7th) strongly opposing the amendment, saying it would seriously affect the independence and credibility of the student member of the Council. The union is concerned that students’ views would not be fully and independently reflected on the Council, and criticised the university for not conducting any public consultation with all undergraduates, adding that the details of the proposal were unclear. The letter said the union would continue dialogue with the university, seek the disclosure of more details and actively safeguard students’ rights.
立法會教育事務委員會昨（6日）討論修訂《香港城市大學條例》(第1132章)的擬議議員法案，建議以本科生互選產生並由校董會委任的本科生，取替學生會會長的校董會成員身分。城大學生會署理會長梁子晉今（7日）發公開信強烈反對修例，認為將嚴重影響學生校董的獨立性及公信力，憂慮學生意願無法充分並獨立在校董會上得到反映，亦批評校方未有向全體本科學生做任何公眾諮詢，方案細節不明。公開信指出，將持續與校方對話，爭取公開更多細節，並積極爭取學生的權益。

教育部批准設立香港城市大學（東莞） 今年9月開學
City University of Hong Kong announced today (19th) that it had received approval from the national Ministry of Education to establish City University of Hong Kong (Dongguan). CityU (Dongguan) will initially offer four undergraduate programmes and 10 master’s programmes, and is scheduled to open this September. CityU President Freddy Yin Chiang Boey said CityU (Dongguan) would uphold CityU’s educational philosophy and, under the principle of “two campuses, one quality”, work to foster an inspiring, interactive and innovative educational environment, advance into the future through innovation, and nurture talent in innovation and technology.
CityU said this afternoon that the Ministry of Education had sent a letter to the People’s Government of Guangdong Province on 16 April, formally approving the establishment of City University of Hong Kong (Dongguan). The campus is located in Songshan Lake Science City. Construction of Phase I began in early 2022 and includes an administrative building, academic buildings, student residences, an international exchange centre and a complex building, as well as supporting facilities. It opened earlier this year. Construction of Phase II is expected to be completed in 2026.
香港城市大學今日（19日）宣佈，獲得國家教育部批准設立香港城市大學（東莞）。城大（東莞）首批開設四個本科課程，以及十個碩士課程，將定於今年9月開學。城大校長梅彥昌表示，城大（東莞）將秉承城大的辦學理念，在「兩校一質」的原則下，致力推動富啟發性、互動性和創新的教育環境，以創新邁向未來，培育創科人才。

城大政政系「去政治化」 稱「公共事務」命名更符合國際趨勢及實際政策執行
After the Chinese University of Hong Kong’s Department of Government and Public Administration approved a restructuring plan last year under which the new college’s name would no longer include “politics”, City University of Hong Kong’s Public Policy and Politics degree programme—known colloquially as “CityU Politics”—will be renamed Public Affairs and Management from the 2024/25 academic year. In response to an inquiry from InMedia, CityU said that many public affairs and services worldwide now involve cross-sector collaboration between government and non-governmental organisations. It said many leading universities around the world had already adopted “public affairs” in the names of related colleges and disciplines, and considered the new name better aligned with international trends and reflective of actual policy implementation.
繼中文大學政治與行政學系去年通過「重組」方案，新學院名稱不再出現「政治」後，簡稱「城大政政」的城市大學「公共政策與政治」學位課程，將於2024/25學年起重新命名為「公共事務與管理」。城大回覆《獨媒》查詢指，現時全球很多公共事務及服務皆為政府及非政府機構跨界別協作，不少全球知名大學的相關學院與學科早已相繼採用「公共事務」作其名稱，認為新名更能符合國際趨勢，及反映實際政策執行。

城大學生會遷出校園 深水埗自立門戶 稱終能還同學U life
The City University of Hong Kong Students’ Union, whose office was taken back by the university last February, initially moved to a remote industrial area in Fo Tan before eventually renting a 3,000-square-foot space in Sham Shui Po for activities and meetings. An opening ceremony was held at the new premises today. Acting Students’ Union president Jason Tsun Kit Lau said the union could finally give CityU students the university life they deserved, and hoped it could establish roots at the new office, with five years set as its initial medium- to long-term operating goal.
去年2月被校方收回會址的城大學生會，一度搬遷到偏遠的火炭工廠區，最終在深水埗租下3000尺空間，作舉行活動及會議用途。新會址今舉行開幕禮，學生會署理會長劉浚傑嘆終於能還城大同學應有的大學生活，期望學生會能扎根新會室，暫以五年為中長期營運目標。

大專院校放寬出入限制 城大校園解禁無期
City University has prohibited the public from entering its campus since the end of 2019. It subsequently installed turnstiles at various entrances and exits, and changed its opening hours to the public to 11 p.m. The university continues to maintain stringent access controls: visitors must present valid credentials prepared by academic departments before entering the campus, while the number of turnstiles has continued to increase. On December 1, the Student Residences Office added a gate at the entrance to the residences on Tat Hong Road to strengthen security.
城大自2019年年末起禁止公眾進入校園範圍，其後陸續於各出入口安裝閘機，又將對外開放時間改至晚上十一時正。校方至今仍保留嚴密的出入管制，如訪客需出示由學術部門所準備的有效證件方可進入校園範圍，而閘機亦有增無減，學生宿舍處早前於12月1日起在達康路宿舍入口增設柵門閘口，以增強宿舍的保安。

全民大會通過學生會發展計劃 將租借新會室及成立公司「城市系列」
In February this year, City University of Hong Kong took back the Student Union’s office and premises on campus. The Student Union subsequently moved to temporary premises in an industrial area in Fo Tan, but the location was far from the CityU campus and hindered the union’s work. The Student Union held a general assembly on Wednesday (October 26) to discuss its future development direction.
本年二月，香港城市大學校方收回學生會於城大校內的會室及會址，學生會及後遷至火炭工廠區作臨時會址，惟該會址遠離城大校園，有礙學生會會務工作。學生會於週三（10月26日）召開全民大會討論學生會未來發展的方向

城大收回學生會會址 14 學生「臨別禮」被票控 認違多戶聚集禁令 每人罰款 7,000 元
The City University of Hong Kong required its student union to vacate its premises in February 2022. The union held a farewell event, during which a number of students gathered and marched. Fourteen students took commemorative photos in front of the Democracy Wall and were subsequently prosecuted by summons for violating the prohibition on group gatherings, with the allegation that they had taken part in a prohibited multi-household gathering. The 14 students pleaded guilty to the summons charges at Kowloon City Magistrates’ Courts on Friday (23rd) and were each fined HK$7,000.
城市大學學生會 2022 年 2 月被校方要求收回會址，學生會舉行「臨別禮」，多名學生聚集遊行，有 14 人在「民主牆」前拍照留念，及後被票控違反「限聚令」，指他們參與受禁多戶聚集。14 人周五（23 日）在九龍城裁判法院承認傳票控罪，被判每人罰款 7,000 元。

再多兩名成員退出 編委會自動解散
The Council announced on 17 September that the Editorial Committee had automatically dissolved and that it was recruiting members for a temporary editorial board Committee. Two editorial board Committee members had applied to withdraw from the Students’ Union, resulting in their automatic departure from the committee. Three other editorial board Committee members had resigned earlier. As more than half of the directly elected positions were therefore vacant, the Students’ Union constitution required the Editorial Committee to dissolve automatically. The Council is now recruiting members for a temporary editorial board Committee.
評議會日前（9月17日）發文宣佈編輯委員會已自動解散並重新招募臨時編委會之委員。基於有兩名編委會成員申請退出學生會，導致該兩名成員自動離任。而較早前已有三名編委會成員辭職，因此超過一半普選成員之職位懸空，根據學生會會章，編輯委員會須自動解散，而評議會現正招募臨時編委會會員。
