The 7th University in Hong Kong ceases recognition of its Studentsā Union
In an internal email sent to students and faculty members on January 20, 2022, the Education University of Hong Kong (#EdUHK) criticized governance of the student union, saying that the Union has been operating under a āprovisionalā body for the past four consecutive years, without proper mandate and therefore lack of student representation.
The university said it will stop offering support to the union, including the collection of membership fees, providing network accounts and services, and offering IT support. Additionally, the student union will lose access to its office space and the right to book and use campus facilities and venues.
The unionās HK$9 million reserve will also be ākept under the custodyā of the universityās Finance Office.
In just one year, seven of eight universities in Hong Kong has cut ties with their studentsā union, including the Chinese University of Hong Kong (#CUHK), the University of Hong Kong (#HKU), the City University of Hong Kong (#CityU), the Polytechnic University of Hong Kong (#PolyU), the Baptist University of Hong Kong (#BUHK) and the Lingnan University of Hong Kong (#LingnanU).
