杜拜王子｜恒生大學修改新聞稿 刪委任榮譽教授及合作備忘錄內容
After Sheikh Ali Rashed Ali Saeed Al Maktoum, a member of Dubai’s ruling family in the United Arab Emirates, halted the launch ceremony for the opening of his family office in Hong Kong, it was successively revealed that he was a “distant relative” of the prime minister and had previously worked as a singer. Senior executives at the office were also implicated in a suspected cryptocurrency fraud case, while a mainland aerial-rail company was listed as an untrustworthy enterprise. Before the controversy came to light, Ali had been appointed an honorary professor by Hang Seng University and had signed a memorandum of understanding with the university.
However, Hang Seng University revised its March press release, deleting references to the honorary professorship and the signing of the memorandum of understanding. The university’s official website lists only four honorary professors and does not include Ali. The university said the memorandum and his appointment as a visiting professor were both effective and had been handled according to “established procedures”, but did not respond to questions about the conditions or procedural details of his appointment.
阿聯酋杜拜統治家族成員Sheikh Ali Rashed Ali Saeed Al Maktoum（阿里王子）煞停在港開設家族辦公室的啟動禮後，接連被揭發他是總理的「遠房親戚」、曾經擔任歌手，辦公室高層亦牽涉加密貨幣懷疑騙案、內地空鐵為失信企業等。爭議揭發前，阿里獲恒生大學委任為榮譽教授，並與該校簽署合作備忘錄。
不過恒生大學修改3月的新聞稿，刪除委任榮譽教授及簽署合作備忘錄的事宜；恒大官網僅有四名榮譽教授，未見有阿里之名。恒大表示，備忘錄和擔任客席教授均生效，亦按「既定程序」，但無回應獲委任的條件及程序細節。

解釋煞停加沙危機講座 恒大：收大量強烈意見
The Hang Seng University of Hong Kong recently called off a lecture themed “The Gaza Humanitarian Crisis”. James Frankel (pictured), an associate professor in the Department of Cultural and Religious Studies at CUHK who earlier said that local Jews planned to disrupt the lecture, told this newspaper that he had received an apology email from the university. He quoted the university as saying that it had been caught off guard after receiving very strong opinions from outside the university and encountering unexpected circumstances, and that following internal discussions it considered the timing inappropriate for holding the lecture. The university confirmed to this newspaper that it had “received a large number of strong opinions” before the lecture and that the present was not the best time to hold it.

恒大研增必修國安「活動」 去年教師流失8%稱移民屬少數
Hang Seng University of Hong Kong held a media tea gathering today. President Ho Shun-man said the university is studying whether to increase compulsory national security education activities, including exhibitions, talks and专题研習 on the Constitution, the Basic Law and the National Security Law, as well as examining ways to integrate them into existing courses. However, they would not be labelled as national security courses. Ho said the university’s teacher turnover rate was 8% last year, similar to the situation at the eight universities but higher than in the previous one or two academic years. He stressed that this was a “natural phenomenon”, saying the main reasons for leaving were non-renewal of contracts and moving to teach at other institutions, and he believed only a small proportion involved emigration.
香港恒生大學今日舉行傳媒茶聚，校長何順文指，校方正研究增加必修的國安教育活動，如憲法、基本法及國安法的展覽、講座及專題研習，及研究與現有課程結合，但不會標明是國安課程。他表示，恒大去年教師離職率達8%，較八大去年情況相約，但較過去一兩個學年高。不過，何順文強調屬「自然現象」，離職原因主要是不續約及轉到其他院校任教，相信涉及移民機會低。
