中大校方於2月25日(昨日)發出聲明，決定暫停為當選學生會「朔夜」代收學生會會費及拒絕為學生會提供行政與大學場地支援等。
本會對校方的聲明深感遺憾。多年來，中大校方對學生組織及各種學術思想兼容並包，師生及組織或切磋砥礪，或各領風騷。如今校方之舉措著實令校友師生教職員無不歎息，深感傷痛。校方是次決定亦過於嚴苛，過程欠缺透明度，甚至令人懷疑學校此舉是受到政治壓力。
本會促請校方立即撤回聲明及相關措施，保衛學術及思想自由，及尊重學生組織的自主。

The response of the Chinese University of Hong Kong Employees General Union (CUEGU) to “CUHK Statement on the Cabinet of the CUSU Executive Committee” (February 26, 2021)
The Chinese University of Hong Kong issued a statement on February 25 (yesterday) in response to an earlier statement made by the recently elected CU Student Union “Syzygia” on February 3. The University resolved to suspend various support to CUSU including the University’s practice of collecting student union fees on behalf of CUSU, withholding its administrative support to the SU Executive Committee and provision of venues for its activities until further notice.
We deeply regret the University’s statement. Over the years, CUHK has been tolerant and inclusive of student organizations and a diversity of academic thoughts, and it is a place where teachers, students and organizations have been able to learn from each other.
In this light, the University’s actions towards Syzygia deeply saddened the CUHK community including alumni, teachers, students, and staff. The actions are overly harsh and the decision lacks transparency. It also raises the concern of whether the actions were taken under political pressure.
We urge the University to immediately retract the statement, safeguard academic and intellectual freedom, and respect the autonomy of student organizations.
The Chinese University of Hong Kong Employees General Union
