The University of Hong Kong has recently opened a clear line with the Student Union, and will no longer collect membership fees and provide financial management services, and will take over the premises and facilities of the Student Union.
Guo Yonghao believes that the student union and the school should be on an equal footing, including the value pursued by the predecessors and the history of carrying. Considering that the school has the right to take back the entire student union building, if the cabinet is elected, it will do everything possible to communicate with the school and lead the school’s movements. To classmates, and based on the interests of the student union and students, try to protect the student union building.
"Sin Sui" issued a political platform earlier, saying that the space for organizing foreign affairs activities is not the same as before, so it needs to adjust its direction and pay more attention to internal affairs.
I was asked how the school would react if the school objected to hold an event in the future?
Guo Yonghao said that in the future, the students will consult legal opinions and review risks, reiterating that they will not actively hold activities with illegal risks, and will balance legal risks and freedom of speech. If there are exhibitions and other activities that are censored and pressured by the school, the students will show The words and sentences under review will be blacked out when they are published, so that students can be informed about the situation.
However, he emphasized that if major social issues such as "restructuring of the Legislative Council" and "students will be cut off by the school" will occur in the future, the statement will still be made on behalf of the students of the University of Hong Kong, but the words will be streamlined and the text will be short.
In addition, we will continue the tradition and cooperate with the tertiary and academic circles and issue joint declarations when necessary.
