VC's Open Letter to Colleagues, Students and Alumni
08 Oct 2003
The media has recently produced a league table, ranking Hong Kong's eight tertiary institutions. However, we have found that the methodology, data sourcing and analysis used in the ranking are questionable.
Attached is an open letter from Professor Lap-Chee Tsui, Vice-Chancellor of the University of Hong Kong (HKU), to his colleagues, students and alumni, giving his views on league tables.
In his open letter, the Vice-Chancellor said that HKU, as a comprehensive research-led international university, had enjoyed unparalleled success in Hong Kong and remained competitive at the highest international level.
