Management from CityU blocks Hi-Bye Bridge to prevent it's own students from entering
0940 City University
To prevent students from walking on the bridge, the school sent officers this morning to block hi-bye bridge, the linkage between the main campus and the dormitories. To prevent any arguments, representatives of Student Residence Office and Facilities Management Office stressed that the school sealed off all exits and entrances of the bridge out of safety concerns. However, when reporters asked about when the arrangement would end, the representatives said that they didn’t know. The representatives also evaded answering whether students are allowed to live in the dormitories, who only explained that an entrance was opened for student residents to pack their personal belongings.

President and PR Director took one-week leave after police invaded City University
(17 Nov) Hong Kong Police invaded City University of Hong Kong (CityU) last week, firing tear gas into the campus, insulting CityU as “Shitty U” publicly and targeted to shoot students at the head. However, the CityU administration said nothing about action taken by the police and claimed that the police had not attacked the campus. The University called the police after the president’s office was vandalized and strongly condemned such action. The University also put the blame on campus reporters for not stopping the vandalisation, claiming they would investigate the matter and take action against any offenders. The University purposefully disregarded the rights of the fourth estate, causing public outrage.
Sources had revealed that Professor Way Kuo, the President of CityU, and Professor Yuen Kwok Kit Richard, the Acting Director of Communications and Public Relations, had applied for a week’s leave right after the police invasion on 12 Nov. The Vice President and Vice Director will be acting in their places until 17 November.
What’s interesting is that Professor Kuo still co-signed the statement by the heads of 9 local universities on 15 November, saying “We call on all quarters of society to work together to bring peace and order back to Hong Kong.”

The High Wall Built by the Authorities
Just as the police have locked down the Polytechnic University (PolyU), zinc sheets have been placed around the campus of the City University of Hong Kong (CityU).
Just last week, concrete blocks were also laid in the Chinese University of Hong Kong (CUHK), in an attempt to block students from reaching the campus entrance on Bridge No.2, where the vigourous police-civilian standoff took place during the police's siege of the university.
