At the HKU Council meeting today, we have resolved to appoint two Vice-Presidents and one Faculty Dean. (For details, please click here)
The recommendations for appointment are results of thorough global search and elaborated review and consultation processes, with the sole purpose of attracting the best talents to fill the leadership positions of the University. The three professors appointed are internationally recognised as top scholars in their field of work.
Due to recent speculations about the personal background of the two Vice-President designates, the two professors had made a special effort to clarify their positions, including a statement from Professor Shen confirming that he is not a CCP member nor a party committee member. The issues of concern against the two professors have been satisfactorily clarified and that all allegations are found to be unsubstantiated.
