This is the
FIRST forum for all alumni to meet the Vice-Chancellor, Professor
Lap-Chee Tsui, on HKU's direction to a top international university.
The Education
and Manpower Bureau (EMB) announced a blueprint on November 27,
2002 for the further development of higher education in Hong Kong
based on the final recommendations of the University Grants Committee
(UGC) following the public consultation on Lord Sutherland's report.
The blueprint
underlines several areas which will have impact on HKU's development
such as: Role differentiation among all tertiary institutions; Student
places and mobility; Programme funding especially in Taught Postgraduate
and Sub-degree programmes; University governance...
The forum will
aim to serve as a start-off to a process in reviewing the position
of HKU in this new environment. It is hoped that it will arouse
interest among alumni for more in-depth debates later.
The forum is
organised by the "Working Group on Positioning HKU in the New
Higher Education Environment" of Convocation.
