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.
Kudos go to researchers in the Departments of Biology and Chemistry (BCH), Computer Engineering and Information Technology (IT), Manufacturing Engineering and Engineering Management (MEEM), Information Systems (IS) and Building and Construction (BC) and the Division of Commerce (CM) who have been awarded external grants worth totaling 13.8 million for various research projects/ proposals on drug development, smart-card technology, SME competitiveness, and building and construction, respectively.
