University ‘de-recognises’ student body over freedoms push
The Chinese University of Hong Kong said in a statement on Thursday that it is “severing ties” with the union on national security grounds, claiming the union cabinet known as Syzygia had made allegedly false statements. The unprecedented move effectively de-recognises the university’s student union.
Relations between the university administration and the union had reached breaking point over the union’s push to maintain on-campus freedoms.
The university said it would stop collecting fees on behalf of the student union, stop providing venues for its activities, withhold administrative support, suspend its members from their positions on all university committees, and require it to register as an independent body and assume legal responsibility for itself.
