Statement by the University of Hong Kong concerning the HKUSU Council incident:
"The University of Hong Kong once again strongly condemns the serious misconduct of the Hong Kong University Student Council for blatantly whitewashing violence, challenging the moral bottom line of our society, and damaging the reputation and interests of the entire HKU community. The University announces that it no longer recognises the current role of the HKUSU (as an independent registered association) on campus. At the same time, it will solemnly conduct an investigation into the incident concerning the HKUSU Council in accordance with University procedures and, based on the investigation outcomes, take action against the students concerned. The University will set up a dedicated team to coordinate and handle students’ activities to ensure that normal business will not be affected. The University hereby urges students to uphold rationality and proper values, focus on their studies and make contributions to the society."
