 對《振翅之號外》引起爭議的聲明

團結學生、凝聚力量

對《振翅之號外》引起爭議的聲明

　　科大編委會一直秉承著為全體科大同學發聲的宗旨。而在是次分配宿位風波中，本會亦同樣貫徹著這持之以恆的精神。這次事件中，本會於上星期五（四月二十日）向全校同學派發了《振翅之號外》，為同學報道是次分配宿位方面的消息，並評論SHO在分配宿位的程序上模糊不清、以及有同學被誤派HKAC等等問題上的行政失當、管理混亂。

　　然而，由於發放是次《號外》的時間倉促，編委會未能廣泛地聽取到非本地學生的意見。在交流不足的情況下，使我們對非本地學生派位結果了解不足，以致有部份《號外》的陳述與事實有所不符，並有對其不公允之意見，本會謹在此致歉。同時，編委會重申會致力為所有科大學生，包括居於偏遠地區之本地學生，以及於科大就讀第三年或以上的非本地學生服務，一視同仁，見不平而發聲，絕不間斷。對於未獲宿位而在香港沒有居所的同學，SHO必須提供最大的協助及支援，此外更應仿效香港大學的做法，提供貸款或津貼，以援助經濟上有困難的同學。

　　科大編委會亦會承諾當議題涉及全體學生的利益之時，會盡力提供完整的傳播渠道，包括發出中，英文版的內容，以助全體學生均能及時了解有關事情。

 

　　本會深信，科大是每一位同學共同擁有的，憑著我們同心協力、不畏強權的努力，終會爭取到更美好的明天。來，團結我們所有學生的力量，以更大的聲音向校方呼喊出我們的訴求！

Stand Together, Unify Our Effort 

Statement on the Controversy of the Extra Edition of WINGS

The Editorial Board, HKUSTSU, always spare no efforts in voicing our students’ opinions to the school. In the recent dispute over the allocation of hall place, our board has consistently performed our duty. Last Friday (20th April), we distributed the Extra Edition of WINGS to all students, reported the whole incident, and criticized the school authority’s inefficient management and unclear instruction to students.

However, because of the inadequate amount of time preparing the Extra Edition of WINGS, we faced difficulties collecting opinions from non-local students. In the absence of adequate communication, we may not have a thorough understanding of the whole picture, which resulted in reporting inaccurate information and creating some misunderstandings. We, the Editorial Board, HKUSTSU, hereby sincerely apologize for any hard feelings aroused. Moreover, we would like to clarify that we are devoted to serve ALL HKUST students, both local students living in remote districts, such as Tin Shui Wai and Lamma Island, and non-local Year-3 or above students, without any kind of injustice. Therefore, we strongly recommend that SHO should provide them with utmost support and assistance, so as to overcome this situation. As the University of Hong Kong has been providing subsidies for non-local students, our school should grant subsidies or loans to students with financial difficulties.

We, the Editorial Board, HKUSTSU, promise that when discussing issues involving the interest of all students, we would by every means provide a comprehensive channel to include both Chinese and English editions, so that all students could understand the related matter.

We truly believe that only with our collective effort can we build a better tomorrow. It’s time to stand together and be united. Let all of our voices be heard!
