EdUHK president backs Article 23 legislation, says it will not affect recruitment of overseas university staff
教大校長支持23條立法 稱不影響大學招聘海外教職員
As the public consultation on legislation under Article 23 of the Basic Law nears its end, various sectors have expressed support. Li Zi-jian, president of the Hong Kong Metropolitan University, said he personally definitely supported the legislation and that legislation was also necessary at the national and HKSAR government levels because it was a constitutional responsibility. He believed the legislation would not affect universities’ recruitment of overseas staff: “We still have many overseas colleagues coming, and it is going quite smoothly!”
《基本法》第23條立法公眾諮詢即將結束，各界紛紛表態支持，香港教育大學校長李子建表示，個人必定支持立法，在國家、特區政府層面亦必須立法，因為具有憲制責任。他認為，立法後不會影響大學招聘海外教職員：「我哋仲有好多海外同事嚟緊，相當順利！」
