【危殆科大生】校长史维发公开信　称已致函领展索取闭路电视片段

周日“七区行街”演变成多区冲突，一名22岁姓周的香港科技大学男学生，疑在尚德停车场躲避催泪弹时，从三楼跌落二楼重创，命悬一线。科大校长史维今晚（5日）发公开信，表示已致函领展行政总裁及警务处处长，向领展索取相关闭路电视片段，以及向警方查询应如何在示威现场保护自己，尤其是当警方使用催泪弹的情况下。

史维在公开信中指，已与学务长办公室职员及工学院高层探望周同学，并会继续与家属保持联络，并指在这艰难时刻向该名同学致以深切慰问及愿意提供援助。

他又回应昨晚科大集会期间的性骚扰事件，表示校方的性别歧视委员会已经开展调查工作，又呼吁全体师生参与明日（6日）的校长论坛。

Dear Members of HKUST, 

It is unfortunate that a student of ours fell from height in a car park in Tseung Kwan O in the midnight of 4 November. He was sent to the hospital. Colleagues from the Dean of Students’ Office and I paid him, and his family hospital visit shortly afterwards, to deliver our best regards and to offer help during this difficult time. Just about an hour ago, Dean of Engineering, Head of Computer Science and Engineering, a few other colleagues, a student representative and I went to the hospital again to show support and understand the latest status. We will continue to stay in touch with the family.

Last night, students assembled at the Piazza to show support for the injured student. I met them to exchange views. As an update, the University has sent earlier this afternoon a letter to the Chief Executive Officer of Link, which owns the Tseung Kwan O car park in question, to request the related security camera footage. I have also sent a letter to the Commissioner of Police to ask for guidelines or information which can help all of us to understand how to protect oneself during protest situations, especially when tear gas is used.

Harassment incidents involving a number of people were reported during the gathering last night, for which the University’s Gender Discrimination Committee has started the formal procedures.

To continue the dialogue last night, an open forum for the internal HKUST community will be held tomorrow at 5 pm. A separate invitation has been sent earlier this afternoon. 

Sincerely yours,

Wei Shyy
President
