Three members of the Legislative Council Zhang Yuren, Liu Guoxun and Deng Jiabiao, who are also board members of the Chinese University, proposed a private draft to reorganize the board of directors of the Chinese University. Zhang Yuren denied that it was aimed at the "anti-amendment bill" and the president Duan Chongzhi, saying that Occupy Central had already noticed it in 2014. The interaction between the school board and the management of CUHK has changed: "Unfortunately, the situation is getting worse and worse. Everyone feels that it is wrong to do nothing or deal with it!" Funded by public money, it must be subject to supervision.
Zhang Yuren also wrote an article earlier criticizing CUHK students taking advantage of the graduation ceremony to demonstrate outside the venue, and believed that these people should be kicked out of the school.
He pointed out today (17th) that college students should not spend time participating in politics. He also recalled that in Leung Chun-ying’s time, he met protesting students who demanded that the chief executive be abolished as the school supervisor. Do a good job of personal cultivation: "I have been involved in politics for many years since I was 50 years old, and I have been involved in politics for many years. Are you surprised that you have nothing on the first day?"
When I was about your age, my wife was pregnant, I had to work outside the home, and I had to study later, I had no time to deal with politics.
In fact, there are many political issues. I tell you that you should not be surprised. Like me, I have been involved in politics for many years from the age of 50 to my political career. Are you surprised that you will not be on the first day?
In fact, according to your family, you should spend more time on books and pay more attention to each other.
Zhang Yuren recalled that when he persuaded the demonstrations to CUHK students

Zhang Yuren pointed out that since 2008, he has served as a trustee of CUHK, and he has attended many graduation ceremonies, all of which were terrible. In the past, there was no "National Flag and National Anthem Law", and it would even affect the national flag and national anthem. To express, there is no need to choose to protest loudly on graduation day.
Mentioning that the CUHK Student Union was disbanded last year due to the school’s request for independent registration, Zhang Yuren did not object to the reorganization of the colleges, but emphasized that how to organize and operate should not only be legal, but also reasonable and reasonable.
In 2016, the CUHK Board of Trustees held a meeting, and students demonstrated outside the venue, demanding an immediate review of the inevitability of the chief executive and supervisor.
The scene was chaotic for a while, and some demonstrators pushed and collided with the security guards at the scene.

Occupy Central has noticed that school administration issues are unfortunately getting worse
Zhang Yuren is currently promoting the revision of the law to reorganize the CUHK Council, and plans to reduce the number of CUHK Council members from 55 to 34, among which the number of on-campus councilors will be greatly reduced from the current 27 to 11, and the number of non-campus councilors will be increased to 23; The chairman is appointed directly by the Chief Executive.
He reiterated that the 1:2 ratio of internal and external board members is very common in other universities. He denied that the reorganization was intended to allow outsiders to control the school administration, and pointed out that even though he was an external board member, he had actually served as a board member for 14 years. "CUHK people", and Liu Guoxun and Deng Jiabiao are CUHK alumni.
As for the threshold for the appointment of the principal, it is changed from the approval of more than half of the current school directors present to the support of three-quarters of the school directors.
Zhang Yuren said, taking Duan Chongzhi's re-election as an example, "Three of us (members of the Legislative Council) opposed it, but passed it. What's the point? My memory is that 10 people, 8 people supported it, and more than 50 people (the whole school) Dong) got 10 out of 8 votes in support and 3 votes against, so why should this matter be passed as it is? Is it good for governance?” He asked rhetorically, half of the current school managers are management, and they may vote against ?
"The management is not a shareholder. It sits on the board of directors and votes. This is a governance issue."
