【包圍校委】馬斐森將交衝突片段予警方　吳克儉強烈譴責學生包圍

港大校長馬斐森今日以電郵方式發公開信予港大全體學生及教職員，回應昨晚學生包圍校委一事，批評衝突進一步破壞港大校譽。他在信中譴責學生的行為，對他本人、校委委員及港大職員構成危險，並表明將向警方提交錄影片段。

馬斐森認為，學生行動無必要，認為學生要求校委會成立委員會檢討大學管治的訴求已得到校委會確認。

聲明全文如下：

Important message from Professor Peter Mathieson, President and Vice-Chancellor 

Dear Colleagues, Students and Alumni,

On behalf of the Senior Management Team, I condemn the behaviour last night of HKU students who (amongst others) put the safety of Council members, including me, and University and security staff at serious risk, and besieged the building in which Council had met so that we were unable to leave for several hours.  This is not the way to achieve progress: we will always be willing to engage in rational discussion and debate with students but we cannot condone mob rule.  The actions were totally unnecessary because the Council had earlier, as announced in a press statement at the end of the meeting, unanimously agreed to commission a review into the University’s governance which was one of the central demands that the students had made publicly. The scenes last night will have further damaged the University’s reputation and they bring no credit to those involved:  HKU students should be capable of better. Video images were recorded and will be made available to the police.

Professor Peter Mathieson
President and Vice-Chancellor

吳克儉：強烈譴責港大學生包圍校委

對於昨晚港大學生於校委會會議後，圍堵會場及校委委員，教育局局長吳克儉予以強烈譴責。他提到有個別成員要由救護車送院，亦有委員的西裝破爛，「我真的覺得這種暴力行為，是完全不能接受。香港市民可自由發表意見，但必須基於事實，亦要合情、合理、合法。」
