its support for the UGC’s governance report, Governance in UGC-funded Higher Education Institutions in Hong Kong, published in 2016, and
most of its recommendations have already been adopted. Meanwhile,
an engagement exercise has been underway to gauge the views of, and solicit input from, both internal and external stakeholders to review the effectiveness of EdUHK’s current governance structure. At the end of the day, it is imperative that we strike a sensible balance between university autonomy and public accountability in a publicly funded university setting.
As the new Council Chairman, I look forward to meeting our staff, students, alumni and other stakeholders in the days ahead. I would also like to extend a warm welcome to our new Council members, Dr Anissa Chan and Miss Lala Lai, while paying tribute to outgoing members Mrs Julie Ma and Mr Alvin Chu.
Thanks to the concerted efforts of the University Council and community, we have come a long way in the past decade, and I have every con dence that the next decade will be a golden era for EdUHK.
