Controversies

[edit]

Student and alumni petition for dismissing Junius Ho from the University Council

[edit]

In July 2019, a video that was circulated widely online showed Junius Ho shaking hands, giving thumbs-up to, and taking photos with the white-clad mob who had attacked civilians in the 2019 Yuen Long attack. Ho claimed that he was only passing by after dinner and was not involved in the attack, and that the mob supported his pro-police stances and asked for photos with him.[13][14] As Ho was a member of the Council of Lingnan University, a number of student bodies and alumni associations made a joint declaration condemning his hate speech over the years and his support for the attackers, saying that it seriously affected the image of the university. They also requested Chief Executive Carrie Lam, then-Chancellor of the university, to dismiss Ho from the Council. Afterwards, the university issued a statement emphasising its respect for freedom of speech and that Ho's views did not represent the university.[15][16]

Removal of Tiananmen relief sculpture

[edit]

On the night of 24 December 2021, the university removed from campus a relief sculpture created by artist Chen Weiming and commemorating the 1989 Tiananmen Square protests and massacre. The university said that it had "reviewed and assessed items on campus that may pose legal and safety risks to the University community" and had the relief "removed and stored appropriately... in the best interest of the University". Around the same time, the University of Hong Kong and The Chinese University of Hong Kong also removed similar Tiananmen memorial monuments from their campuses. Chen said that "it is a major regret", and that the university authorities "acted like a thief in the night" and "were very scared that the removal of the monuments would spark public outcry".[17][18][19]
