Council Members Ask HKU Council to Revoke the Ban against Students Entering Campus
The Council of the Hong Kong University Students' Union (#HKUSU) passed a motion on July 7, in which it expressed sadness over the death of #LeungKinFai, who knifed a police officer on July 1 before he stabbed himself. It thanked the man for his "sacrifice" for Hong Kong. The HKUSU council has then apologised, with several executive committee members resigning from their posts.
However, the university’s governing body, the HKU Council, announced a ban to the students who attended the meeting on August 4 from entering the campus and using the campus facilities because of “serious legal and reputational risks".
In a joint open letter, 7 Council members of the HKU Council revoke the ban. The letter stated that the student's actions were not contrary to the University of Hong Kong Ordinance provisions.
“As members of the council, we believe this decision is improper according to legal principles. By not hearing from the students themselves, it runs contrary to the principles of due process and natural justice.” The letter read. "The university used the excuse of 'risk containment' to arbitrarily deprive the learning opportunities of the students".
However, one of the Council members, Chiu Kit-yee, said the university has yet to contact the respective directors on this matter.
Separately, as at midnight on August 5, over 590 University of HKU graduates have signed a petition demanding the university to revoke the ban on students.
Among the signatories are some high-profile scholars and activists, including the former president of the student union, Althea Suen Hiu-Nam; former Spokesperson of the International Affairs Delegation of the Hong Kong Tertiary Community, Sunny Cheung Kwan-yang; Music composer, Chow Pok-yin; HK Baptist University professor Law Kwai-Cheung; former member of the Progressive Teachers' Alliance, Chik Bon-Shing; former President of HKUSU, Cheung Yiui-Fai; and former Deputy Secretary-General of the Federation of Students, Yeung Chen-yin, etc.
