Three Council members of the University, Chairman Sir Gordon Wu, The Honourable Lau Ping-cheung, and Mr Vincent Chow; and Professor Y S Wong, Vice-President (Administration), are on this year's Hong Kong Special Administrative Region Chief Executive Honours List for their significant contributions to Hong Kong and their dedicated community service.
Dear Colleagues: I’ve been working for CityU for more than eight years. During this time, I’ve felt that the University has gone through many changes except, that is, for our bilingual staff newsletter, Linkage, or Ling Ji (靈機)in Chinese. Linkage is of course about connecting colleagues at different departments and levels by means of its publication and has nothing to do with “having a sudden inspiration”, as the Chinese Ling Ji suggests in the Chinese idiom “ling ji yi dong”.
Has CityU made up its mind on how to deal with the looming crisis of the budget crunch, in the face of cutbacks in government funding? Is delinking our salaries from those of the civil service, with a consequential cut in our paychecks, already on the cards? If you have paid attention to what our President, Professor H K Chang, has said to the newspapers over the past few days, the answers seem to have been set in stone.
2003 has finally arrived, whether we welcomed and noticed it or not. As the new year begins, what does the future hold for CityU and its staff? What principles should guide us through the tumultuous times ahead? Linkage, as usual, went to talk to the President, Professor H K Chang, to find out what's on his mind, a few days before he took off on vacation.
