【包围校委】马斐森将交冲突片段予警方　吴克俭强烈谴责学生包围

港大校长马斐森今日以电邮方式发公开信予港大全体学生及教职员，回应昨晚学生包围校委一事，批评冲突进一步破坏港大校誉。他在信中谴责学生的行为，对他本人、校委委员及港大职员构成危险，并表明将向警方提交录影片段。

马斐森认为，学生行动无必要，认为学生要求校委会成立委员会检讨大学管治的诉求已得到校委会确认。

声明全文如下：

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

吴克俭：强烈谴责港大学生包围校委

对于昨晚港大学生于校委会会议后，围堵会场及校委委员，教育局局长吴克俭予以强烈谴责。他提到有个别成员要由救护车送院，亦有委员的西装破烂，“我真的觉得这种暴力行为，是完全不能接受。香港市民可自由发表意见，但必须基于事实，亦要合情、合理、合法。”
