Dear Colleagues and Students,
The anxious wait is finally over, sort of. On 9 May, the University Grants Committee (UGC) formally notified CityU that 13 of its 19 associate degree (AD) programmes would be cut off from government funding by 2008. Only six* will retain public support. The withdrawal process is to begin as early as in 2004-05 and end, within a more accelerated timeframe than previously expected, by 2007-08.
A newspaper reported early this year that the University Grants Committee (UGC), in its current review of higher education in Hong Kong, is planning to "reposition" the existing eight tertiary institutions into two categories: research and teaching universities.
