電子板現投票宣傳疑違規 校方：有責任呼籲師生行使公民權利
With the 2025 Hong Kong Legislative Council election approaching, publicity urging people to vote in the Legislative Council election has recently appeared at multiple locations on the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology campus, including the L-shaped and horizontal electronic noticeboards in the Jockey Club Atrium, eight vertical electronic noticeboards at the Entrance Piazza, and even the screen of a smart recycling bin beside the LG1 restaurant. No election leaflets have been seen on the physical noticeboards. According to the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology Campus Management Office’s noticeboard rules, Article 7 states that political propaganda, unlawful materials, unauthorised posts and expired posts are not permitted on any campus noticeboard. The webpage introducing the electronic noticeboards also states that the same rules apply to them. The election publicity displayed on the electronic noticeboards may therefore breach the relevant prohibition on political propaganda. The university says it has a responsibility to call on faculty members and students to vote and exercise their civic rights.
2025香港立法會換屆選舉舉行在即，近日科大校園多處出現呼籲參與立法會選舉投票的宣傳，包含在賽馬會大堂(Atrium) L型電子告示板及水平電子告示板、入口廣場8塊直立電子告示板等，甚至出現在LG1餐廳旁智能回收箱的屏幕上。而實體告示版則未見有任何選舉宣傳單張。
//電子板現政治宣傳涉違規 校方: 大學有責任呼籲師生投票
根據科大校園管理處 (Campus Management Office) 的告示板規則，第七條指明政治宣傳、非法、未授權及過期的海報不被允許在任何校園告示板出現 (Propaganda and unlawful materials, unauthorized posts and expired posts)
電子告示板介紹網頁亦列明，同一套規則同樣適用於電子告示板，因此電子告示版上出現投票宣傳可能違反「禁止政治宣傳」的相關規定。

科大編委放映會 食環署指收投訴上門巡查
HKUST editorial board held its annual film screening tonight. On the day, a university department notified it that Food and Environmental Hygiene Department (FEHD) staff would conduct an inspection before the screening. At about 6 p.m., FEHD staff arrived outside the venue with university department staff, saying they had received a complaint that editorial board was holding a screening possibly open to the public without applying for an entertainment licence, and asked editorial board members to produce film authorisation documents.
FEHD said it had also viewed editorial board’s social media and noted that its screening poster and event registration stated that the event was open only to HKUST students and staff. It reiterated that the visit was a routine inspection and reminded editorial board members to ensure that those admitted were HKUST students and staff. FEHD staff subsequently entered the screening to film it and then left the venue.
Ng Ho-wai, editor-in-chief of the Editorial Board, said he was deeply disappointed by what he described as an unreasonable complaint. He said the screening was intended to provide an activity for HKUST students generally, and that the complaint was simply an “unfortunate mishap” and “baseless nonsense”. He pledged that the Editorial Board would continue, within the legal framework, to provide students with quality and diverse activities to enhance their critical-thinking skills.
Student Union president Lee Chun-yin said the screening was an ordinary activity, stressing that it was open and complied with Hong Kong law. He hoped that students attending the screening would reflect on the position of the media in Hong Kong and learn to assess the impact of news on society.
Under the Public Amusements Ordinance (Chapter 172 of the Laws of Hong Kong), “public entertainment” means any entertainment to which the public is admitted, including screenings, concerts and lectures, regardless of whether an admission fee is charged. No person may operate or use any place of public entertainment without a public entertainment licence. Offenders are liable to a fine and imprisonment for six months.
科大編委今晚舉行一年一度的電影放映會，在當日接獲學校部門通知指將有食環處職員於放映會前巡查。食環處職員於當日約六時與學校部門職員一同到達放映會場地外，並指接獲投訴指編委有放映活動疑對公眾開放，並未有申請娛樂牌照，要求編委成員出示電影授權許可。
食環處指亦瀏覽過編委的社交媒體，留意到編委的放映會海報及活動報名有寫只向科大學生職員開放，重申今次只是循例巡視，並叮囑編委成員需確保入場的是科大學生及職員。其後食環處職員進入放映會拍攝，其後離開現場。
編輯委員會總編輯吳浩瑋表示對被無理投訴深感遺憾。他指放映原意是為廣大科大學生提供活動，被投訴純屬『無妄之災』 『無稽之談』並承諾編輯委員會將繼續在法例框架下為學生提供優質以及多元的活動，以提升學生的思辨能力。
學生會會長李俊諺則回應指，放映會只是平常的活動，強調活動公開及符合香港法例，並希望參與放映會的同學能夠反思傳媒於香港的地位，能夠學識判斷新聞對社會的影響。
根據香港法例第172章《公眾娛樂場所條例》公眾娛樂 (public entertainment)指讓公眾入場的任何娛樂，娛樂包括放映會、音樂會、演講等，不論是否收取入場費，任何人沒有獲得公眾娛樂牌照，不得經營或使用任何公眾娛樂場所。違者將被罰款及監禁六個月。

科大用電子告示板惹疑 校方澄清「唔取代實體」
Publicity materials from student societies are commonly seen around university campuses and are a major means of promotion for student organisations. The HKUST Students’ Union editorial board said on Instagram two days ago that HKUST’s Media Technology and Publishing Centre (MTPC) would use electronic noticeboards to replace physical noticeboards from the new academic year. It reminded student organisations that they would need to submit applications to the Dean of Students’ Office for approval in advance if they wished to use the electronic boards. Their content would also have to be rotated with publicity from other HKUST departments, with each display lasting 30 seconds. The arrangement prompted student dissatisfaction, with the HKUST Students’ Union saying it had been introduced without warning, lacked consultation and caused inconvenience.
The HKUST Students’ Union collected joint endorsements from 29 affiliated clubs or student organisations and put forward five demands, including immediately suspending the replacement plan and providing dedicated electronic noticeboards and airtime for affiliated clubs. It also said that if HKUST did not respond by tomorrow, it would not rule out taking further action to “defend the rights and interests of student organisations”.
大學校園角落唔難見到學會「文宣」，係各類學生組織嘅主要宣傳途徑。科大學生會編委會前日喺Instagram話，科大媒體科技及出版中心（MTPC）新學年起用電子告示板取代實體告示板，提醒學生組織如果想用電子板，要提早交畀學務長辦公室審批；內容亦要與科大其他部門嘅宣傳「輪播」，每次展示30秒。措施引發學生不滿，科大學生會話安排「無預警推出」、欠缺諮詢，亦造成不便。
科大學生會蒐集29個屬會或學生組織聯署，提出5項要求，包括立即暫緩更換計劃、增設屬會專用電子告示板同播放時間等，又話如果科大聽日前無回應，唔排除採取進一步行動「捍衛學生組織權益」

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。」

聯社就職典禮：新宿分制度實施兩年 有宿生會全體幹事不獲宿位
All four societies expressed concern about the allocation of hostel places to association committee members. They said that under the new system, association committee members might not be allocated hostel places, making it difficult for them to remain on campus to handle association affairs, while Hall society committee members would find it difficult to look after freshmen living in the hostels, affecting the operation of the associations. Bing Chuen said that none of their committee members had currently been allocated hostel places, creating difficulties in handling day-to-day Hall affairs. Hostel wardens had not provided special assistance, and they were also unclear about the channels for expressing their views to the university.
四社均對學會幹事的宿位分配表示關注，認爲新制度下，學會幹事未必有宿位，難以留校處理會務，而Hall莊幹事則難以照顧住宿的新生，對學會運作有影響。冰川表示他們現時所有幹事都不獲分配宿位，在處理日常莊務間有困難，宿舍主任沒有提供特別協助，亦不清楚有什麽渠道向校方表達意見。

科大擬北都建衛星校園 冀現屆政府任期內成立醫學院
The Policy Address proposed developing a “Northern Metropolis University Town” in the Northern Metropolis. HKUST has submitted a proposal to the authorities to establish a satellite campus there, linking its Clear Water Bay and Guangzhou campuses with research bases on the mainland, to “further improve HKUST’s innovation belt from south to north” and attract more research talent to develop in Hong Kong. Regarding its bid, announced last year, to establish Hong Kong’s third medical school, HKUST President Nancy Ip said she hoped it could be established during the current administration’s term, and disclosed that discussions on cooperation were under way with a European university.
《施政報告》提出在北部都會區內，打造「北都大學教育城」，科大已向當局提出，計劃在北都建立衛星校園，連接清水灣、廣州校園及內地的研究基地，「進一步完善由南至北的科大創新帶」，吸引更多科研人才來港發展。至於去年提出爭取設立香港第三所醫學院，科大校長葉玉如表示，希望在現屆政府任期內成立，並透露正與一間歐洲大學商討合作。

科大校方一反常態成迎新週主辦方 學生會幹事會堅決反對
The Student Union Executive Committee issued a statement on Instagram yesterday (1 August) expressing dissatisfaction and strong opposition to the university administration’s decision to organise this year’s Orientation Week itself, breaking with the practice in previous years of having the Student Union organise it. The committee said it opposed the university administration’s disregard for the existence of the Student Union. According to the statement, the Dean of Students’ Office (DSTO) emailed affiliated societies on 25 July without informing the Student Union, saying that it would coordinate Orientation Week and inviting the Student Union, its affiliated societies and the university’s department-associated groups (Department Associated Groups, DAGs) to register to participate. At a meeting on 26 July, the DSTO informed the executive committee of its role as the organiser. Although the executive committee immediately objected, and the DSTO subsequently promised to arrange discussions with it, no such arrangements had been seen as of yesterday.
學生會幹事會昨（1/8）於社交媒體Instagram發聲明，就校方今年一反往年由學生會主辦迎新週之常態，而自行主辦迎新週一事表達不滿和強烈反對。
學生會幹事會發表聲明，反對校方無視學生會存在
幹事會聲明指，學生長辦公室（下稱DSTO）在未有告知學生會下，於7月25日向屬會發電郵，指迎新週將由其統籌，並開放予學生會、學生會屬會、校方部門相關屬會（Department Associated Groups，DAGs）報名參與。DSTO隨後在7月26日的會議中告知幹事會其主辦單位之角色。雖然幹事會隨即提出反對，而DSTO亦在後承諾會安排與幹事會商議，唯截至昨日仍未見相關安排。

中大生民主牆悼烏魯木齊火災死者 聲援內地抗爭
A fire in Urumqi, Xinjiang, left at least 10 people dead and nine injured, triggering protests and memorials across the country from Friday night (25th). Yesterday, Chinese students at local universities responded to the actions. At the University of Hong Kong, some people held flowers and posters on campus, prompting the university to call the police. At the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology, some lit candles and walked around campus wearing clothing worn by China’s epidemic-prevention personnel, displaying posters along the way satirising China’s censorship of speech.
新疆烏魯木齊大火釀成至少10死9傷，自周五（25日）晚起引發全國各地抗議和悼念。昨日有本地大學的中國留學生響應行動，港大有人在校園內手持鮮花和文宣，校方報警處理；科大亦有人燃點蠟燭，並穿上中國防疫人員的服裝在校園內步行，沿路展示諷刺中國言論審查的文宣。
