宏福苑五級火｜港大學生會聯院會擬辦悼念活動無下文 校方覆學會稱「不可抗力」因素籲停辦
The fire at Wang Fuk Court in Tai Po caused serious casualties, with at least 161 people killed. The Inter-Collegiate Council, comprising eight societies of the University of Hong Kong Students’ Union, had planned to hold a memorial event in early December, inviting students, staff and members of the public to express their condolences through a moment of silence, flower offerings and messages. However, no details have been announced. The Undergrad, an HKU publication, quoted a reply received by the societies as saying that the university had raised concerns about “social conditions and force majeure factors” and urged the Inter-Collegiate Council to stop holding memorial activities of any kind. After consideration, the council decided to cancel the event.
Yahoo News asked HKU whether it knew that the Inter-Collegiate Council had planned to hold a memorial for the Wang Fuk Court fire, and whether the university had refused to lend it a venue and prohibited memorial activities of any kind. A University of Hong Kong spokesperson replied this afternoon (the 22nd) that, when handling venue applications from student organisations, HKU had maintained communication with student representatives and conducted assessments in accordance with established guidelines. The spokesperson did not respond to whether the university had prohibited memorial activities.
大埔宏福苑造成嚴重人命傷亡，至少 161 人罹難。由香港大學學生會八個學會組成的聯院會，原擬 12 月上旬舉行悼念活動，邀請師生及各界人士參與，透過默哀、獻花及留言表達哀思，但至今沒有公布詳情。港大《學苑》引述學會接獲的回覆，校方曾就「社會情況及不可抗力因素」提出疑慮，並勸籲聯院會停止舉辦任何形式之悼念活動，聯院會經考慮後決定取消活動。
《Yahoo 新聞》已向港大查詢是否知悉聯院會原擬舉行宏福苑火災悼念活動，是否拒絕借出場地及不允許舉行任何形式的悼念活動。香港大學發言人今日（22日）下午回覆指，港大處理學生組織場地申請時，一直與學生代表保持溝通，並按照既定指引作出評估，未回應是否不允許舉行悼念活動。

港大論文引AI虛構文獻 出版社依倫理委會指引調查
An academic paper involving Yip Siu-fai, associate dean of the Faculty of Social Sciences at the University of Hong Kong, was found early this month to have used AI and included fabricated sources. Publisher Springer Nature previously said it had received a report from the authors and that the incident did not affect “the integrity of the article’s core conclusions”. Less than a week later, Springer Nature published an “Editor’s Note” on its website last Friday, saying it was conducting an investigation in accordance with the guidelines of the Committee on Publication Ethics. Yip said yesterday that he had “done everything I need to do” and would patiently await the investigation’s findings.
港大社會科學院副院長葉兆輝有份參與的學術論文本月初被揭發使用AI並出現虛構資料來源，出版社Springer Nature早前稱已收到作者報告，事件不影響「文章核心結論的完整」。事隔不足一周，Springer Nature上周五於官網發表「編輯的話」（Editor's Note），稱正根據出版倫理委員會的指引展開調查。葉兆輝昨回覆稱自己「需要做嘅事已做晒」，將耐心等候調查結果。

假學歷報大學｜港大接獲數百宗疑持假學歷入讀申請 無個案獲錄取
Hong Kong universities recently saw multiple cases involving non-local students suspected of applying for admission with “fake academic qualifications”. Following the Chinese University of Hong Kong, the University of Hong Kong said today (13th) that it had also received hundreds of cases in the current academic year involving non-local students suspected of applying for admission with false academic qualifications. None of the relevant applicants received offers of admission.
本港大學早前爆出多宗非本地生涉嫌以「假學歷」申請入學的事件。繼中文大學後，香港大學今日（13日）表示，校方在本學年亦接獲數百宗懷疑憑虛假學歷申請入讀的非本地生個案，當中並沒有相關個案獲得錄取通知。

港大科大清華合辦新疆論壇 講者批西方抹黑 絕無強迫勞動或種族滅絕
《棱角》 exclusively found that the University of Hong Kong’s China, Humanities, and Global Studies Research Hub co-hosted “Global Comparative Pespective on Xinjiang” on Wednesday (the 20th) with Tsinghua University’s Institute for Advanced Studies in Humanities and Social Sciences and the Division of Social Science at the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology. The forum criticised claims by “Western politicians and media led by the United States” that there was genocide or authoritarian rule in Xinjiang, and presented counter-narratives challenging Western knowledge production.
The entire forum was understood to have been led by Tsinghua, with participation limited to invitees, and ran from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m.
《棱角》 noted that the participating academics and writers echoed the line of China’s official media. Some had previously criticised Hong Kong’s 2019 anti-extradition bill movement as a “colour revolution”, while others had participated in the official non-governmental organisation China Society for Human Rights Studies, led by former Tibet deputy Communist Party secretary Xiangba Pingcuo, and stated at the United Nations Human Rights Council that the West and the United States were smearing China.
A sociologist researching China and Hong Kong criticised these scholars, who adhere to left-wing Marxism, for having become increasingly inclined towards Maoism in recent years and even becoming part of the Chinese Communist Party’s external propaganda effort.
“Hong Kong, as an academic platform for exchanges between Chinese and Western cultures, is a frontline for research on China … Hong Kong can perform the function of the Chinese Communist Party’s ‘white glove’, using concepts from Western left-wing theories to criticise Western colonial rule as filthy, and using this as a fig leaf to conceal, rationalise or beautify the Chinese Communist Party’s totalitarian and repressive rule.”
《棱角》獨家發現，香港大學的中國、人文與全球研究中心（China, Humanities, and Global Studies Research Hub）於周三（20 日）跟清華大學人文與社會科學高等研究所，以及香港科技大學社會科學部合辦「新疆全球比較視野 Global Comparative Pespective on Xinjiang」，批判「美國為首的西方政客及傳媒」聲稱當地有種族滅絕或專制管治，並在論壇提供反抗西方知識生產的反敘述（Counter-narratives）。
據了解，整個論壇由清華主導，僅獲邀者可參與，由早上八時一直開至晚上八時。
《棱角》留意到，與會的學者及作家與中國官方媒體口徑一致，有人曾經批評 2019 年香港反修例運動是「顏色革命」，亦有人參與由前西藏黨委副書記向巴平措領導的官辦非政府組織「中國人權研究會」，在聯合國人權理事會聲言西方及美國抹黑中國。
有研究中國及香港的社會學學者批評，這些信奉左翼馬克思主義的學者，近年越發傾向毛澤東主義，甚至成為中共的大外宣一部分。
「香港作為中西文化交流學術平台，香港在研究中國是前哨 … 香港可以發揮中共「白手套」的功能，以西方的左翼理論概念，批評西方殖民統治是污穢的，作為遮醜布掩飾、合理化或美化中共的極權高壓統治。」

網民聯署反對港大邀請親以色列 KOL 演講 據悉6男女曾與保安爭執 港大稱因「不可預見情況」取消活動
The University of Hong Kong told Yahoo News that its School of Modern Languages and Cultures had cancelled the event because of “unforeseen circumstances”.
It is understood that, at the scheduled time of the event, six men and women who were dissatisfied with the arrangement argued with security guards. The six people were not HKU students. Some were suspected of being unhappy that the university had suddenly cancelled the public lecture, refusing to leave and arguing with security guards. Police arrived to look into the matter and initially considered that there was no criminal element. After recording the six people’s details, they left the HKU campus on their own.
港大回覆《Yahoo新聞》證實，港大現代語言及文化學院已取消該活動，原因是「不可預見的情況」（unforeseen circumstances）。
據了解，於原定活動舉行時間，曾有6名男女不滿有關安排，與保安員爭執。6名人士並非港大學生，疑有人不滿港大突然取消公開講座，拒絕離開，並與保安員發生爭執。警方到場了解，暫時認為沒有刑事成分，登記6人資料後，6名人士自行離開港大校園範圍。

港大新本科生校委 盼重建學生會
In an interview with this newspaper, Tang Chun-yin, the new undergraduate representative on the University of Hong Kong’s Council, said he hoped to promote the rebuilding of the Students’ Union during his one-year term. He said this could reverse the situation in which students lacked the right to know and the right to have a say whenever disputes over university governance arose. The first Council meeting during the tenure of the new chairman, Wang Dongsheng, is scheduled to be held today. Tang said he had met HKU’s management to discuss reorganising the Students’ Union and hoped the university would be forthcoming about any concerns it had regarding the reorganisation.
Tang, a third-year student pursuing a dual degree in Bachelor of Business Administration (Law) and Bachelor of Laws, intends to enter the legal profession. He is seeking mentorship from different barristers while balancing his studies with internships. In November last year, he succeeded the former Council member Casey Yau Hong Chik, who had served two consecutive terms, as the undergraduate representative on the Council for a one-year term.
近年是大學學生會低潮，新任香港大學校委會本科生代表鄧俊彥接受本報專訪，盼任內推動重建學生會，扭轉每次於校政爭議時學生欠缺知情權和話語權的困局。據悉，新任港大校委會主席王冬勝任內首次校委會議今日舉行。鄧俊彥透露已約見港大管理層商討重組學生會事宜，冀校方開門見山，可提出對重組學生會有何憂慮等。
王冬勝今首開校委會議
就讀工商管理學學士（法學）及法學士雙學位三年級的鄧俊彥，有意投身法律行業，正向不同大狀拜師，兼顧學業與實習工作，去年11月起更接替連任兩屆的前校委戚由康，成為校委會本科生代表，任期一年。

4港大生涉致謝梁健輝認罪判囚兩年 刑期上訴得直減至囚15月
The then-chairman of the University of Hong Kong Students’ Union Council Kinson Cheung King-sang, Students’ Union president Charles Kwok Wing-ho, and two council members Chris Todorovski and Anthony Yung Chung-hei were accused of moving and supporting a motion at a council meeting in 2021 concerning Leung Kin-fai, the suspect in the July 1 police-stabbing case. They were charged under the National Security Law with “advocating terrorism” and pleaded guilty to the alternative charge of “inciting others to intentionally cause bodily harm”. They were each sentenced to two years’ imprisonment.
The four appealed against their sentences and the case was heard at the High Court on Friday (the 13th). After hearing submissions from both sides, the Court of Appeal found the trial court’s 35-month starting point for sentencing manifestly excessive. It held that the appropriate starting point was two years; after the 20% guilty-plea discount applied at trial and mitigating factors, the total sentence should be 15 months’ imprisonment. Some defendants’ family members wept after the ruling, while someone also shouted, “Happy birthday.”
The four began serving their sentences in September 2023 and have served about one year to date. Under the Prison Rules, prisoners may receive a remission of one-third of their sentence for good conduct. However, the Safeguarding National Security Ordinance Bill stipulates that prisoners serving sentences for offences endangering national security may receive remission for good conduct only if the Commissioner of Correctional Services is satisfied that this “will not be contrary to national security”.
香港大學學生會評議會時任主席張敬生、學生會會長郭永皓，以及兩名評議員杜林丞亨和容頌禧，被指於 2021 年評議會會議上，動議及支持七一刺警案疑兇梁健輝的議案，被控《國安法》「宣揚恐怖主義」罪，承認交替控罪「煽惑他人有意圖而傷人」，被判監禁兩年。
4 人不服判刑提上訴，周五（13 日）在高等法院聆訊。上訴庭聽畢雙方陳詞，認為原審量刑起點 35 個月監禁明顯過重，適合量刑起點應為 2 年，扣除原審的 20% 認罪扣減、求情因素，總刑期應為 15 個月監禁。有被告家屬聞判哭泣，亦有人高呼「生日快樂」。
4 人於 2023 年 9 月起服刑，至今約一年。根據《監獄規則》，囚犯可因行為良好獲減刑三分一。惟《維護國家安全條例草案》訂明，因危害國安罪行服刑的囚犯，須獲懲教署署長信納「不會不利國家安全」，方可獲行為表現良好的減刑。

港大職員阻畢業生展示反猶太復國主義標語 稱希望現場大家都舒
The University of Hong Kong held a graduation ceremony for the Faculty of Business and Economics today. After the ceremony, a graduating student stood outside the venue holding signs reading “Zionism contains Jewish supremacism” and “equals Nazism”, and shouted about the history and details of terrorist attacks planned by Zionists in the 20th century. The student was stopped by security after one and a half minutes.
港大今日舉行經管學院畢業禮，一名現屆畢業生在典禮完結後，於會場外舉起「猶太復國主義包含猶太至上主義」和「等於納粹主義」的標語，並呼叫猶太復國主義者在20世紀策劃的恐怖主義襲擊歷史和內容，一分半鐘後被保安阻止。

假學歷風波｜港大經管學院逾 30 名內地生學歷造假 警拘兩內地女子
HKU Business School discovered in May this year that mainland master’s students had used forged academic qualifications to gain admission. The school launched a comprehensive investigation and reported the matter to police. More than a month later, mainland media outlet Caixin reported an interview with the school’s dean, Cai Hongbin, who said an investigation had found that more than 30 students had submitted forged academic documents. All the students involved were Chinese nationals, and the incident was ultimately expected to involve 80 to 100 students. The report also said similar cases had been found at the Chinese University of Hong Kong, The Hong Kong Polytechnic University and Hong Kong Metropolitan University, among others. Cai said the impact of forged qualifications on universities “should be very extensive”.
The school responded to an inquiry from The Collective on the same evening in a reply of more than 2,000 Chinese characters, describing how the fraud was uncovered and the investigation process. It said that, during a review, the university had conducted spot checks on more than 1,500 academic qualification documents but had not detected the fraud. The school found that the content and methods used in the submission of the suspected qualifications were sufficiently convincing to pass as genuine. It said cancelling students’ enrolment would not deter “black-market intermediaries” or students’ parents, and therefore conducted a thorough investigation to “expose the dark side of the industrial chain in which illegal intermediaries manufacture forged academic qualifications”, enabling potential customers to consider that “what they obtain is not a diploma from HKU, but possibly a criminal record, or even imprisonment”. The school also analysed the intermediaries’ practice of handling everything while deceiving both parties, hoping that its findings could be made public so other Hong Kong universities could identify and address gaps in their admissions procedures.
The Collective asked eight publicly funded universities, Hong Kong Metropolitan University and Hang Seng University of Hong Kong whether they had investigated forged academic qualifications and found any cases. Several universities did not respond directly, merely reiterating that they had rigorous procedures for verifying information. Police said they had arrested two mainland women, aged 24 and 34, on suspicion of using false instruments and making false representations to Immigration Department officers.
香港大學經管學院今年 5 月爆出有內地碩士生用假學歷入學，學院展開全面徹底及報警；事隔個多月，內地《財新網》今報道學院院長蔡洪濱訪問，稱調查後發現約 30 多名學生提交假學歷文件，涉案學生全為中國籍，又預料事件最終或涉及 80 至 100 名學生。報道又指據了解，中大、理大、都大等均發現類似個案，蔡表示假學歷影響院校「應該是很廣」。
經管學院晚上回覆《集誌社》查詢，全長逾 2000 字，講述揭發造假經過及調查過程。回覆指校方在複查中抽查逾1500份學歷材料，未能發現造假，學院發現存嫌疑學歷遞交內容和手法足以以假亂真。學院認為取消學生學籍對「黑中介」及學生家長無法起震懾作用，故進行徹查「曝光不法中介製造假學歷的產業鏈黑暗面」，讓潛在客戶思考「得到的不是港大的文憑，而可能是一個犯罪記錄，甚至是牢獄之災」。學院又分析中介「一手包辦兩頭欺瞞」做法，望總結公開以便香港其他大學在招生環節能查漏補缺。
《集誌社》向八間資助大學、私立的都會大學和恆生大學查詢，曾否就假學歷進行調查及發現個案；多間大學回覆時未有直接回應，僅重申設嚴謹程序查核資料。警方回覆指就事件拘捕兩名 24 歲和 34 歲內地女子，涉嫌「行使虛假文書」及「向入境事務處人員作虛假申述」。

港大有學生指於民主牆貼反錫安主義海報時遭保安截查
A student told this newspaper that they were stopped by security while posting four anti-Zionist posters outside the Main Library’s Democracy Wall yesterday evening (June 29). Zionism is also known as Jewish nationalism. The security guard said that items could not be posted there. The student explained that they had followed the rules by writing a student number and posting date on the posters, but the guard replied that the area was managed by the university and prior application was required, and that posted materials could not contain political or defamatory content. The guard then called more security personnel and university staff, who recorded the student’s name, student number, telephone number and department. During this time, security personnel at one point attempted to prevent passers-by from gathering to watch. The student said the student number written on the posters did not belong to them; security noticed and pointed this out at the time but took no immediate action. When the student returned about an hour later, the four posters were no longer there.
有同學向本報透露，昨（6 月 29 日）傍晚於圖書館總館外民主牆張貼四張反錫安主義（錫安主義又稱猶太復國主義）海報期間被保安喝止，該保安稱不可以於該處張貼物品；同學向保安解釋有跟從規則寫上學生編號及張貼日期；保安回覆表示該處由校方管理，須先申請方可張貼，張貼品亦不能含有政治、誹謗等內容；保安其後召來更多保安人員及校方人員，記錄該同學姓名、學生編號、電話號碼及學系，其間保安人員一度嘗試阻止途人圍觀。該同學指，海報上所寫的學生編號不屬於自己，保安當時有發現並指出，但未有即時採取行動；約一小時後返回時，四張海報已不復見。
