HKU appoints mainland scholars to top posts; former University Council member challenges it a regression in pursuing global development
Following appointment of two mainland scholars as the University of Hong Kong's vice-presidents on October 27, former Council member of the university and professor of Politics and Public Administration Joseph Chan Cho-wai shared a comment on his Facebook, saying that 5 members of HKU leadership team have a Mainland background.
Among the 7-strong President and vice-President team, not only that there were also no female representatives, Chan also suspected that President Zhang Xiang has been deliberately inviting people with similar background to HKU leadership team. Chan criticized that such arrangement means a regression in the University’s long-standing effort pursuing a global development.

Inspired by Hong Kong Protests, Pocket-size Anti-tear Gas Respirator Won Industrial Design Excellence Award
//When widespread pro-democracy protests broke out in Hong Kong over the summer of 2019, tear gas became a favorite deterrent of Hong Kong police forces, with some agencies estimating that more than 2,000 canisters were being fired into crowds every day.
Using the protests in Hong Kong as a design challenge, industrial design students Alex Munro and Claudia Hasenfang, along with recent industrial design alumni Cole Powell and Ian Annis, created the Temporary Eye and Respiratory (T.E.A.R.) Mask.
The T.E.A.R. Mask is a pocket-sized anti-tear gas respirator that protects the eyes, nose, and mouth from the harmful effects of tear gas, which may include chemical burns, blindness, asphyxiation, and even death. Its design is compact enough fit in a pocket or purse, with a simple approach to use that can be deployed quickly and safely.
The result of almost a year’s worth of design iteration and prototype refinement, the T.E.A.R. Mask was recently recognized by the Industrial Designers Society of America (#IDSA) with a 2020 Industrial Design Excellence Award (#IDEA), one of the discipline’s highest honors.
“At its core, the T.E.A.R. Mask is a message about the importance of human rights,” Hasenfang said. “It’s about bringing attention to the misuse of tear gas, and about trying to protect freedom of speech and the right to protest. And our design is doing that.” //
