Academic Interference
According to an article in UKs The Times Higher a judicial inquiry has been launched into whether Honk Kongs education secretary and other officials have interfered in the academic freedom of a teacher-training institute. Arthur Li Kwok-cheung, the secretary for education and manpower, and his officials have been accused of meddling in the affairs of the Hong Kong Institute of Education, whose ruling council - 60% of whom are government appointees - voted not to renew the contract for the president from September, despite support from the academic board. Donald Tsang Yam-kuen, Hong Kongs chief executive - who announced the inquiry - said the commission would examine any improper interference and recommend how legitimate government advice might be given in future.
