[#CCP members nominated to head #HK's university] 1. According to @StandNewsHK, two #Chinese scholars (at least of them is #CCP member) are nominated as the vice presidents of #HKU, months after the university sacked the co-founder of #UmbrellaMovement #BennyTai.
3. Just months after the firing of #UmbrellaMovement co-founder #BennyTai, the new appointment casts huge doubt on our academic freedoms, esp whether critical studies will be censured or liberal staff will be sacked. Once precedent is set, it's forseeable more uni will follow.
What #BennyTai wanted for #HongKong? As much democracy and freedom as possible. Is that a crime? twitter.com/hkdc_us/status…
