《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。

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

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。

城大校方拒借出場地 學生會改辦網上木人巷

城大校方去年以防疫原因拒絕向學生會借出舉辦場地，木人巷終在學生會場地內舉辦，惟學生會校內會室及場地今年年初已被校方收回。

參加學生會臨別禮被指涉煽動等 城大生拒認罪後再收校方電郵問多次
After City University of Hong Kong reclaimed the student union’s premises, the union moved off campus in February this year and held a farewell ceremony. The incident drew the attention of the police national security department. Last month, the university wrote to several students who had attended the ceremony, alleging that they had breached the gathering restriction, committed offences relating to seditious intent under the Crimes Ordinance, and committed criminal damage at the Democracy Wall, among other matters. A student who denied wrongdoing told Independent Media that they had received another email from the university this month. In response to Independent Media, CityU said that its departments had established procedures for handling various university matters, which should not be subject to external interference or disruption.
城大學生會因被校方收回會址，今年2月遷出校園並舉辦臨別禮。事件驚動警方國安處，校方上月去信多名曾出席臨別禮的學生，指他們涉違反限聚令、煽動意圖罪行條例及在民主牆進行刑事毁壞等。有拒認違規的學生向《獨媒》透露，今月再收到校方電郵，城大回覆《獨媒》表示，稱各部門有既定程序處理各類大學事務，不應受外界干涉或干擾。
