香港大學今日突然出聲明指責港大學生會,話學生會行事日趨政治化,利用校園作為政治宣傳,公開發表煽動性並可能涉及違法嘅言論,因此決定唔再代學生會收取會員費用,亦收回學生會會址及其他設施嘅管理權,並會因應情況喺有需要時採取進一步措施。
香港大學明言措施同國安法有關:「基本法作為香港法治的基石,在保障了大學學術自由、個人言論表達自由和結社自由的同時,也有保護國家安全的條文,大學不是法外之地,亦有責任維護全體教職員和學生的福祉,不能容忍作為獨立社團的學生會一方面利用學校提供的服務和場所,另一方面則漠視校方的勸喻和整體港大社群利益,其所作所為給大學帶來違法風險。」
Important message from the Registrar
To: All students of the University
In order to rectify the protracted ambivalence in the delineation of legal responsibilities between the University and the Hong Kong University Students’ Union (HKUSU), an independent organization registered under the Societies Ordinance of Hong Kong, the University has undertaken a review on the current services and arrangements made available to the HKUSU for appropriate risk management. It is now decided that the University will stop collecting membership fees on behalf of the HKUSU and providing financial management services for them, and will enforce our management rights over the offices and other facilities currently used by HKUSU. These measures will not affect the continued commitment of the University to facilitate and support extra-curricular activities on campus and foster a positive learning environment for all students.
(Ms) Jeannie Tsang
