前港大理學院院長郭新教授以及幾位香港學者接受《科學》期刊訪問。
“We don’t know exactly how the law will be implemented, but just the perception and uncertainty that it creates will be a problem for the universities,” says Sun Kwok, a Hong Kong–born astronomer who was dean of science at the University of Hong Kong (HKU) for 10 years.
“We will have a hard time convincing future recruits that they will have complete academic freedom to teach and do research,” says Kwok, who is now at the University of British Columbia, Vancouver, in Canada. “In the last 15 years, Hong Kong universities have made huge progress and are increasingly recognized as major centers of excellence in Asia. Can we maintain this gain?”
The law “is a retrograde step for Hong Kong,” says Matthew Evans, an ecologist and dean of science at HKU, emphasizing that this is his personal view. Although he is “not expecting a huge impact on what we do” in the faculty of science, he predicts that in the social sciences, law, and other disciplines, “people whose research or teaching could fall foul of the law will be self-censoring.” And there is likely to be an impact on recruiting, even for the sciences. “It will play into the issue that we’ve had persuading people from North America who are not ethnically Chinese to think about coming to Hong Kong,” he says.
