CUHK formally appoints Lo Yuk-ming as president; responds to being dubbed “Violent University” 19 years ago: “It has now returned to the right track”
中大校長｜盧煜明正式獲聘 回應 19 年被冠以「暴大」 盧：現已重拾正軌
Beyond academia, Lo Yuk-ming also has some degree of political involvement. He is a member of the Beijing Municipal Committee of the Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference, a member of the Election Committee, and one of the co-initiators of the Hong Kong Coalition. At today’s press conference, he was asked whether his CPPCC identity would affect CUHK’s autonomy. Lo said the mainland has many top universities and that cooperation with them would be important to the development of science worldwide. He said his public positions on the mainland could serve as a bridge, “bringing our voices into mainland decision-making bodies”.
學術以外，盧煜明亦有一定程度的政治參與，他是北京市政協委員、選委會成員、香港再出發大聯盟共同發起人之一。今日的記者會上，被問及政協身分會否影響中大自主？盧煜明回答說，內地有許多頂尖的大學，如能合作，對世界科學發展相當重要。他認為，自己在內地的公職可作橋樑，「令我哋聲音帶入內地決策機構」。
