On 20 May 2016, the roof structure of a multi-purpose sports hall, named Chan Tai Ho Multi-purpose Hall (the Sports Hall), in Hu Fa Kuang Sports Centre (the Sports Centre) collapsed. Two staff members of CityU sustained minor injuries and a third individual was in shock in the incident. The venue was scheduled to hold the annual celebration banquet of CityU athletes on that night and 700 to 800 student athletes were supposed to attend.<ref>{{Cite web|date=2016-05-21|title=‘Dark day for Hong Kong’s sports community’ narrowly avoided after CityU rooftop collapse|url=https://www.scmp.com/news/hong-kong/education-community/article/1949786/dark-day-hong-kongs-sports-community-narrowly|access-date=2020-09-08|website=South China Morning Post|language=en}}</ref> The investigation report released by the [[Buildings Department]] said three factors contributed to the collapse - a leveled layer of material applied to the surface of the roof structure being thicker than the original design, the laying of greenery on the roof and large puddles of water.<ref>{{Cite web|date=2017-05-31|title=No prosecutions planned over collapse of City University roof|url=https://www.scmp.com/news/hong-kong/health-environment/article/2096409/no-prosecutions-planned-over-collapse-city|access-date=2020-09-08|website=South China Morning Post|language=en}}</ref> CityU did not seek separate advice from an independent surveyor to conduct feasibility studies and designs before tendering out to consultants or contractors to carry out the project.

=== Intervention of students' academic autonomy ===
=== Intervention of students' academic autonomy ===
In October 2019, Prof Tan Yong Chin who was teaching a digital marketing course sent an email to the students, which warned the students not to deliver any political messages in class presentations or they will be given zero marks.

City University of Hong Kong (CityU) is a public research university in Kowloon, Hong Kong. It was founded in 1984 as City Polytechnic of Hong Kong and became a fully accredited university in 1994. It is one of eight government-funded degree-granting tertiary institutions.

The university has five colleges and four schools: the College of Business, College of Engineering, College of Liberal Arts and Social Sciences, College of Science, Jockey Club College of Veterinary Medicine and Life Sciences, and the School of Creative Media, School of Data Science, School of Energy and Environment and School of Law.

As of 2020, CityU ranks 19th in Asia by THE, 5th in young universities, and 48th internationally by QS.[10][11][12]

History

City University's origins lie in the calls for a "second polytechnic" in the years following the 1972 establishment of the Hong Kong Polytechnic. In 1982, Executive Council member Chung Sze-yuen spoke of a general consensus that "a second polytechnic of similar size to the first should be built as soon as possible."[13] District administrators from Tuen Mun and Tsuen Wan lobbied the government to build the new institution in their respective new towns.[13] The government instead purchased temporary premises at the new Argyle Centre Tower II in Mong Kok, a property developed by the Mass Transit Railway Corporation in concert with the then-Argyle Station. The new school was called City Polytechnic of Hong Kong, a name chosen among nearly 300 suggestions made by members of the public.[14]

The new polytechnic opened on 8 October 1984, welcoming 480 full-time and 680 part-time students.[15] The provision for part-time students contributed to high enrolment, with the quota being filled almost immediately.[15]

The architectural contract to design the new campus on the former site of the village of Chu Koo Chai, in New Kowloon, Sham Shui Po District, was won by Percy Thomas Partnership in association with Alan Fitch and W.N. Chung.[16] It was originally slated to open by October 1988.[17] The first phase was officially opened by Governor Wilson on 15 January 1990, and boasted 14 lecture theatres and 1,500 computers.[18] By 1991, the school had over 8,000 full-time students and approximately 3,000 part-time students.[19] The second phase of the permanent campus opened 1993.[16] The school achieved university status in 1994 and the name was changed accordingly.[20]


Campus

City University of Hong Kong is located on Tat Chee Avenue, Sham Shui Po District,[21] Kowloon. It is near Kowloon Tong Station, which serves the East Rail Line and Kwun Tong Line of Hong Kong's Mass Transit Railway (MTR) system. It is also adjacent to Shek Kip Mei Park, Nam Shan Estate and the Festival Walk shopping centre. The main campus covers around 15.6 hectares.


Yeung Kin Man Academic Building, formerly known as ACademic 1, was also called "teaching building" in 2006 or before. It was completed in stages from 1989 to 1994 and was built by Zhong Huanan and Tang Moushi. Cooperative design. The floor area is 63,000 square meters, including 116 laboratories, 18 lecture halls, classrooms, school canteens, and 3 fully equipped kitchens. The building is divided by color, in order of purple zone (P), green zone (G), blue zone (B), yellow zone (Y) and red zone (R). Except for the lecture hall, all classrooms, laboratories, etc. are numbered by their color divisions. On April 28, 2017, the Academic Building (1) was officially named Yeung Kin Man Academic Building, in recognition of the support and generous donations of Dr. Yeung Kinman, the founder of Bourne Optics, to the university and students.[22]


The Run Run Shaw Creative Media Centre is an academic building on the campus, which was completed in 2011. It was designed by Daniel Libeskind cooperating with Leigh and Orange Ltd., and received several awards on its design.[23] It was funded with a donation of HK$100 million from the Shaw Foundation and is named after Run Run Shaw.[24] The building houses the university's School of Creative Media, the Centre for Applied Computing and Interactive Media and the computer science, media and communication, and English departments.[25]

Hu Fa Kuang Sports Centre is a five-storey sports centre which houses a multi-purpose hall and four practice gymnasiums for badminton, basketball, volleyball, martial arts and dance, and other activities. In May 2016, the 1,400 square metre roof of the Chan Tai Ho multi-purpose hall at the sports centre which had been covered with a living roof just completed for two months suddenly collapsed, injuring three people.[26]

Governance

Established in 1984 under Chapter 1132 of the Laws of Hong Kong (City University of Hong Kong Ordinance), [27]CityU is one of the eight statutory universities in Hong Kong.

Same as all other statutory universities in Hong Kong, the Chief Executive of HKSAR acts as the Chancellor of CityU. Prior to the transfer of sovereignty over Hong Kong, this was a ceremonial title bestowed upon the Governor of Hong Kong.

The governing council comprises 23 university members. The chief executive of Hong Kong has the power to appoint 15 of the 23 council members, seven of which are named directly and eight appointed upon recommendation of the council. The chief executive can also appoint the chairman, deputy and treasurer.; the vice-chancellor is in turn appointed by the council.[28]

The University's teaching units are grouped under 10 Colleges and schools, offering over 150 postgraduate, undergraduate taught programmes.[29]

Alumni

Controversies

Cancelling MFA programme

In April 2015 the university abruptly and controversially shut down its MFA programme in creative writing. Students and alumni launched a petition against the decision, while the faculty and noted international writers issued an open letter questioning the reasoning behind the closure.[39] Acclaimed Canadian novelist and faculty member Madeleine Thien, writing in The Guardian, was among those who attributed the decision to censorship and diminishing freedom of expression in Hong Kong.[40]

QS Ranking Dispute

In 2017 City University was accused of falsifying student data for a better ranking.[41][42] City University said they would submit the case to external audit firm to verify the data.[42]

City University of Hong Kong has been accused of providing misleading information to Quacquarelli Symonds (QS) to boost its university rankings. However, the QS review confirmed that the data submitted by CityU is accurate. In January 2018, CityU issued a statement stating that it had commissioned an accounting firm to complete an independent review of the student data declared by CityU and confirmed that it found no declarations that did not meet the scope of QS requirments.[43]

Intervention of students' academic autonomy

In October 2019, Prof Tan Yong Chin who was teaching a digital marketing course sent an email to the students, which warned the students not to deliver any political messages in class presentations or they will be given zero marks. The e-mail caused dissatisfaction among the students. Some of them thought that their presentation were solely integrating the related course content with the recent social issues, while they did not call slogans in the classroom or affect the classroom order. They questioned Tan for creating white terror.[44]

  • The Student Union of CityU cross-checked the University Assessment Policy and Principles for Taught Programmes, and considered the marking policy of Tan to be violating the policy of the university and the university's promise of protecting freedom of speech[45]
  • Pro-democracy group Frontline Technology Workers pointed out that the relevant presentations were highly relevant to the course although it was touching the social controversies and criticized the professor for creating troubles and dispute.[46] They also highlighted many academic journal articles which discussed the relationship between politics and marketing.[47][48][49]
