嶺大出售持續進修學院予涉中國背景辦學團體 諮詢大會學生會幹事遭保安阻攔
Lingnan University recently announced that it would spin off its School of Continuing Education to a new education provider, the Hong Kong Emerging Technologies Education Charitable Foundation. The Lingnan University Students’ Union revealed that some people on the latest list of directors of the new buyer are suspected of working at Chinese higher education institutions and even operating overseas study agencies in China, suggesting possible Chinese capital backing. A Students’ Union officer who tried to learn more at a related Lingnan University meeting was stopped by security. If implemented, the move would mean that Lingnan’s School of Continuing Education could become Hong Kong’s third self-financing higher education institution with Chinese capital backing, after Chu Hai College and Hong Kong Nang Yan College of Higher Education.
Lingnan held a consultation meeting on the spin-off on Thursday (11th). The Students’ Union Editorial Board reported on social media that the meeting was open only to students and staff of the School of Continuing Education, while undergraduate and postgraduate students were not allowed to enter. Participating students were also required to register their personal details and student numbers outside the venue. More than 10 security guards and university staff were already on standby outside the venue before the meeting began, including Student Affairs Manager Alice Wing Yee Leung.
editorial board said the meeting ended after only about 20 minutes. When the Students’ Union External Vice-President Lai Cheuk-yin tried outside the venue to ask departing students and staff about the meeting, several security guards stopped him. They said the matter had nothing to do with the Students’ Union or undergraduate students, told him, “What’s it got to do with you?”, and questioned whether he was “getting in the way of work”. Lai later tried to approach participants at other locations on campus, but was followed by security guards throughout and returned without success.
嶺南大學日前宣布，將分拆持續進修學院予新辦學團體「香港新興科技教育慈善基金」，嶺大學生會揭發，新買家的最新董事名單中，部份人疑任職於中國高等院校，甚至在中國經營海外升學中介機構，或涉中資背景，有學生會幹事試圖在嶺大相關會議了解詳情時遭保安阻攔。若最後落實，意味嶺大持續進修學院或繼珠海學院、能仁學院後，成為香港第三間具中資背景的自資高等院校。
嶺大周四（11日）上午就分拆事宜舉行諮詢大會，學生會編輯委員會在社交平台報道， 當日大會僅限持續進修學院學生及職員參加，本科生及研究生不得內進，而參加學生須先在門外登記個人資料及學生證號碼。會議開始前，會場外已有十多名保安及校方職員戒備，包括學生事務經理梁詠儀。
編委會指出，大會只進行約20分鐘便結束，學生會外務副會長賴卓賢在場外試圖向離場學生及職員了解會議內容時，遭多名保安阻攔，對方稱是次事務與學生會及本科生無關，更斥「關你咩事」、又質疑賴「阻住做嘢」。賴其後在校園其他位置嘗試與參加人士接觸，但一直被保安尾隨只能無功而還。

成員曾辦學生會 屬會註冊嶺大未批 編委會引消息質疑設黑名單 校方：按程序處理
Lingnan University required student groups this year to apply for registration with the Office of Student Affairs (OSA) by mid-July. A review of the university’s website found that at least 18 student groups had successfully registered, including the Basic Law Society and the Mainland Students and Scholars Association. The Lingnan University Students’ Union editorial board issued a statement the day before yesterday (20th), citing campus sources questioning whether the university had established a “blacklist” to “block” registration applications from groups proposed by people who had participated in the Students’ Union. A Lingnan student told this newspaper yesterday that their affiliated club had submitted an application in July but had still not received approval. The student believed registration had been obstructed because of their previous participation in a Students’ Union organisation, and had now withdrawn from the club in the hope that the university would approve its registration.
Lingnan University said yesterday that “all departments are handling matters according to established procedures”. It did not directly respond to this newspaper’s enquiries about whether a “blacklist” existed, or the reasons and criteria for compiling such a list. The university reiterated that the Students’ Union was an external organisation and had not been authorised to conduct any activities at the university.
In April, Lingnan University announced that student groups formed in the university’s name during the current academic year had to complete the registration process by 13 July.
The Lingnan University Students’ Union editorial board said in an Instagram post the day before yesterday that some student organisations which had previously operated under the Students’ Union and were still operating—including the Drama Society, Music Society, Philosophy Department Association and Translation Department Association—did not appear on the list of successfully registered groups. editorial board said some student organisations had applied to the university for registration before the deadline but had not received a response.
嶺南大學今年要求學生團體7月中前須向學生事務處（OSA）申請註冊。翻查嶺大網頁，校方公告至少18個學生團體成功註冊，包括基本法學會、內地學生學者聯誼會等。嶺大學生會編委會前日（20日）發文，引述校內消息質疑校方設「黑名單」，「封殺」曾參與學生會者所提出的團體註冊申請。有嶺大生昨向本報稱，其屬會7月已交申請至今未獲批，料因自己曾參與學生會組織而註冊受阻滯，現已退出屬會，盼校方批准該會註冊。
嶺大昨稱「各部門均按既定程序處理」。至於本報查詢「黑名單」是否屬實、編名單原因及標準等，未獲正面回應。嶺大重申學生會為外部組織，未獲授權於大學進行任何活動。
嶺大今年4月公布，今學年以嶺大名義組成的學生團體須於7月13日前完成註冊程序。
嶺大學生會編委會前日在Instagram發文稱，部分以往在學生會轄下運作的學生組織並持續運行中的組織，如戲劇學會、音樂學會、哲學系系會及翻譯系系會等，均未見於已成功註冊的名單。編委會稱部分學生組織限期前已向校方申請註冊，至今未獲回覆。

嶺大：學生會未獲授權使用「嶺南大學」名稱 強調雙方無關係
Lingnan University recently issued a statement saying that the Lingnan University Student Union is an external organisation registered under the Societies Ordinance. It has not been authorised to conduct any activities on campus and is not provided with any sponsorship, venues or facilities by the university. The university stressed that it has no affiliation, relationship or connection with the Student Union. Regarding the union’s use of the name “Lingnan University”, the university said it had not received any support, consent or authorisation.
The university said it had in recent years repeatedly found that the Student Union, members of its executive committee and/or its affiliated bodies, including but not limited to its Editorial Board, had engaged in certain conduct and made certain statements that were inconsistent with Lingnan’s core values, mission, vision, overall purpose and objectives. The statements and conduct had attracted significant concern within the university community, damaged the university’s reputation and might give rise to legal risks.
The university clarified that although the Student Union’s name includes the words “Lingnan University”, it had not been recognised by or affiliated with the university. It hoped to prevent the public from mistakenly believing that any conduct or statements by the union had the university’s endorsement or represented the university’s views and position.
Earlier this year, Lingnan University asked the Student Union to sign the “Lingnan University Student Union Undertaking”, stating that the union and organisations under it must “abide by the law and observe university regulations”, including refraining from conduct that would damage the university’s reputation, failing which they would be prohibited from using the name “Lingnan University”. In April this year, the university said the undertaking had formally taken effect on 20 January and decided to formally cease all negotiations with the Student Union concerning the undertaking with immediate effect. It also required students wishing to establish student societies to apply to the Student Affairs Office and sign the “Student Leaders Charter” in order to gain access to resources provided by the university.
嶺南大學日前發聲明，稱嶺南大學學生會為根據《社團條例》註冊的外部組織，未獲授權於校內進行任何活動，亦不獲校方提供任何贊助、場地或設施，強調校方與學生會無任何隸屬關係，亦不存在任何關係或聯繫。對於學生會使用「嶺南大學」名稱，校方指未獲任何支持、同意或授權。
嶺大於聲明中表示，校方近年多次發現，學生會、其幹事會成員及或其屬下機構，包括但不限於該會編輯委員會，曾作出某些行為及發表某些言論，與嶺大的核心價值、使命、願景及整體宗旨與目標不符，有關言論及行為已引起大學社群高度關注，損害大學聲譽，並可能構成法律風險。
校方澄清，雖然學生會名稱包含「嶺南大學」字樣，其並未獲大學認可或與大學有關聯，期望避免公眾誤以為該會的任何行為或言論獲大學認可，或代表大學的觀點與立場。
嶺大今年較早時曾要求學生會簽署《嶺南大學學生會承諾書》，聲明學生會及其轄下組織須「奉公守法，遵守校規」，包括不作損害校譽行為等，否則禁用「嶺大」名稱等。校方於今年4月指，《承諾書》已於1月20日正式生效，並決定即日起正式停止與學生會進行所有有關承諾書的協商，同時要求有意成立學生社團的學生需向學生事務處申請，並簽署《學生領袖約章》，方可獲得校方所提供的資源使用權。

嶺大學生賴卓賢參選校董會等被DQ 高院駁回司法覆核 接納校方指限宣傳可保公平
Lai Cheuk-yin, external vice-president of the Lingnan University Students’ Union, was disqualified by the university’s election officer last November from standing in elections for the Council, Court and Senate after allegedly campaigning through “non-official channels”. He applied for judicial review, seeking to overturn the election officer’s decision and the election results. In a judgment handed down on Friday (the 4th), High Court judge Ko Ho-man dismissed his application and ordered Lai to pay the costs.
Lai’s side argued that the election officer had exceeded his powers, misunderstood the relevant provisions and acted improperly in disqualifying him without giving him an opportunity to respond.
The judgment said university elections differed from elections for public office and did not require publicity campaigns to be conducted in a complex or extensive manner. It also accepted Lingnan’s argument that restricting the forms of publicity could ensure that candidates received the same level of exposure and safeguard the fairness of the election. The judge said allowing candidates to publicise their campaigns only through the same methods was entirely fair, and ruled that the election officer had neither exceeded his powers nor acted improperly in procedural terms.
Lai Cheuk-yin told The Witness that he was disappointed by the judgment but would respect it. Lingnan University said it welcomed the outcome.
嶺南大學學生會外務副會長賴卓賢，去年 11 月被指以「非官方渠道」宣傳，遭校方選舉主任 DQ 校董會、諮議會、教務會的參選人資格。他入稟申請司法覆核，要求推翻選舉主任的決定及選舉結果。高院法官高浩文周五（4 日）頒判詞，駁回其申請，賴兼須付訟費。
賴一方質疑，選舉主任越權、誤解條文內容，DQ 他時亦涉程序不當，沒有給予機會讓他抗辯。
判詞指，大學校內的選舉與公職的選舉不同，毋須複雜及廣泛地進行宣傳活動，亦接納嶺大一方指，限制宣傳方式可確保候選人獲相同曝光程度，確保選舉公平。官又指，候選人只能使用相同方式宣傳是完全公平的做法，裁定選舉主任沒越權，亦不涉程序不當。
賴卓賢回覆《法庭線》稱，對法庭判決感到失望，但會尊重。嶺大表示，歡迎裁決結果。

嶺大生賴卓賢參選校董會遭DQ 提覆核指不獲充分機會抗辯
Lai Cheuk-yin, vice-president (external) of the Lingnan University Students’ Union, was disqualified by the university’s election officer last November from standing for election to the Council, Court and Senate after allegedly promoting his candidacy through “unofficial channels”. He earlier filed for judicial review, seeking to overturn the election officer’s decision and the election results. The case was heard in the High Court on Friday (the 13th). After hearing submissions from all parties, Judge Ko Ho-man said he would hand down his judgment on or before July 31.
The applicant argued that when the election officer emailed Lai asking to meet, the purpose of the meeting was not mentioned. Lai was notified of the disqualification at the meeting on the same day and was given no opportunity to defend himself, amounting to procedural unfairness. The respondents argued that the election officer had explained the regulations to candidates at a briefing, and that Lai’s comments in media interviews after being disqualified, criticising the university’s requirements, showed that he understood the rules. They said it would have been unfair to other candidates if the election officer had found that Lai had breached the rules but still allowed him to stand.
After the hearing, Lai responded to an Eastweek report alleging that he had been “plotting to acquire HKFS property”. He reiterated that he merely held the property for the Hong Kong Federation of Students on trust and had obtained no personal benefit.
嶺南大學學生會外務副會長賴卓賢，去年 11 月被指以「非官方渠道」宣傳，遭校方選舉主任 DQ 校董會、諮議會、教務會的參選人資格，他早前入稟申請司法覆核，要求推翻選舉主任的決定及選舉結果。案件周五（13 日）於高等法院進行聆訊，法官高浩文聽畢各方陳詞，將於 7 月 31 日或之前頒判決。
申請方質疑，選舉主任發電郵要求與賴會面時，沒提及目的，同日見面即通知他 DQ 決定，令賴沒有機會抗辯，涉程序不公。答辯方反駁，選舉主任於簡介會已向候選人說明規例，又指賴被 DQ 後受訪曾批評校方要求，可見他清楚規則。如選舉主任斷定賴違規仍容許他參選，會對其他候選人不公。
另外，散庭後，賴回應《東周刊》指控他「謀『學聯』物業」的報道，重申自己只是以信托形式為學聯持有物業，並無個人得益。

六四 36｜消失的六四地標 民主女神像、六四浮雕下落不明 國殤之柱成證物
At the end of 2021, several universities in Hong Kong suddenly removed June 4 landmarks from their campuses, including the Goddess of Democracy, the Pillar of Shame and a June 4 relief. The Pillar of Shame was taken to the University of Hong Kong’s Kadoorie Centre in Yuen Long and was seized by the National Security Department the year before last as evidence in a case of inciting subversion of state power. Lingnan University previously said that the June 4 relief had been properly stored, but did not disclose its location. The Goddess of Democracy remains unaccounted for. The Chinese University of Hong Kong previously said it had instructed legal advisers to determine the next steps concerning its removal with the statue’s owner, Chen Weiming.
Three and a half years on, what has become of the landmarks? Chen Weiming, the artist who created the Goddess of Democracy and the June 4 relief, said he had discussed arrangements for returning the works with the Chinese University and Lingnan University through legal representatives at the time. He agreed to the universities’ conditions, including assuming the risks and costs of transport, not pursuing the matter in future and signing a confidentiality agreement. However, after he asked the universities about the specific transport arrangements, they stopped responding, and the matter came to nothing. The Collective, a Hong Kong media outlet, asked the Chinese University and Lingnan University about the works’ current whereabouts. The Chinese University said it had “no further information to add regarding the incident”, while Lingnan University said, “The university handles items strictly in accordance with Hong Kong law and has no other comment.” Jens Galschiøt, the creator of the Pillar of Shame, said he was considering suing the Hong Kong government.
2021 年末，本港多間大學突然移走校內的六四地標，包括民主女神像、國殤之柱、六四浮雕。其中國殤之柱被運往元朗港大嘉道理中心，前年被國安處檢走為煽動顛覆國家政權案的證物；至於六四浮雕，嶺大曾稱妥為儲存，但未透露地點；民主女神像則至今下落不明，中大曾稱已委託法律顧問，與雕像擁有者陳維明確定移走的後續步驟。
三年半過去，這些地標去向如何？創作民主女神像和六四浮雕的藝術家陳維明表示，當年曾透過法律代表，與中大和嶺大商討作品歸還的安排，並同意校方的條件，包括願意承擔運送的風險和費用、日後不作追究、簽署保密協議等，但當他向校方查詢具體運送安排，校方便再也沒有回覆，事件不了了之。《集誌社》向中大和嶺大查詢作品現時去向，中大指「對相關事件沒有進一步補充」，嶺大則稱「大學嚴格按照香港法律處理物品，並無其他評論」；至於國殤之柱創作者高志活則稱正考慮控告港府。

嶺大學生會副會長賴卓賢參選校董會等遭DQ 提司法覆核 5.13聆訊
Lai Cheuk-yin, vice-president (external affairs) of the Lingnan University Students’ Union, was disqualified by the university’s election officer last November from standing for election to the Council, Court and Senate. He filed an application for judicial review last week, seeking to overturn the election officer’s decision to disqualify him, the Council’s decision that his complaint was unfounded, as well as the election results and related appointments, and to order a by-election.
The Judiciary website shows that the case is listed for a “rolled-up hearing” on May 13, meaning that the court will deal with the application for leave for judicial review and the substantive judicial review hearing together. The application states that the election officer disqualified Lai on the grounds that he promoted his candidacy through “unofficial channels”, including Instagram, campus posters and interviews with media outside the campus.
嶺南大學學生會外務副會長賴卓賢，去年 11 月被校方選舉主任 DQ 校董會、諮議會、教務會的參選人資格，他上周入稟申請司法覆核，要求推翻選舉主任 DQ 他、校董會指他的投訴不成立的決定，以及選舉結果和相關委任，並下令舉行補選。
司法機構網頁顯示，案件排期 5 月 13 日處理「合併聆訊」（rolled-up hearing），即法庭一併處理覆核許可申請及實質覆核聆訊。入稟狀指，選舉主任指賴以 Instagram、校園海報及接受校外媒體訪問等「非官方渠道」宣傳，而取消其參選資格。

嶺大要求學生會簽承諾書 聲明「奉公守法遵守校規」 會方稱已諮詢法律意見
After two years without an elected cabinet, Lingnan University’s Students’ Union has finally elected a cabinet this term, which will formally take office next month. The university has required the Students’ Union to sign an undertaking stating that the union and organisations under it will “abide by the law and comply with university regulations”, including refraining from conduct that damages the university’s reputation. Otherwise, the university will prohibit the union from using the name “Lingnan University” and withdraw its support for student societies, among other measures.
Lingnan Students’ Union acting president Lai Cheuk-yin said it had sought legal advice and made further enquiries with the university, and did not currently plan to sign the undertaking before receiving the university’s response. In response to enquiries from InMedia, Lingnan University said the undertaking clarified its support, guidance and regulations for student organisations, and that it believed this would be beneficial to student organisations, including the Students’ Union, as well as to Lingnan University.
嶺南大學學生會經歷兩年「斷莊」後，今屆終有內閣當選，下月正式上任。校方要求學生會簽署「承諾」，聲明學生會及其轄下組織會「奉公守法，遵守校規」，包括不作損害校譽行為等，否則將禁止會方使用「嶺南大學」的名稱、撤回對學生社團的支援等。
嶺大學生會署理會長賴卓賢表示，已諮詢法律意見及再向校方查詢，暫不擬在校方回覆查詢前簽署承諾書。嶺大就回覆《獨媒》查詢稱，藉承諾書闡明對學生社團的支援、指引及規範，認為對包括學生會在內的學生社團及嶺大「均有裨益」。

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。
