城大過千名師生集會抗議講師導師被裁Demonstration Over Staffing Issues In CityU www.rthk.org.hk 超過一千名城大師生在校園集會，抗議校方裁減講師及導師。有學生表示，校方為爭取世界排名，重研究而忽略教學，系內四分之一負責教學的導師不獲續約，影響教學質素。 城大教職員協會說，部分被口頭通知不獲續約的講師及導師，表現良好，不明白為何在逆市下，他們不獲續約。 城大證實43名經評核的導師，約半數只續約半年，至於不獲續約的講師及助理教授，則未能提供數字，但校方會重新視審視個案。 城大副教長何炘基又說，現時校內有300名導師，比率較其他大學為高，不能保證300 名導師獲長期聘用，亦不會撤回導師不被續約的方案。 The Senior Management of the CityU is sacking 100 staff. Across the board, Instructors, Lecturers and Assistant Professors whose contracts are due to expire have been given no contract renewal or a six-month terminal contract, regardless of the level of performance. Despite the fact that Departmental Staffing Committees and College Staff Committees have recommended contract renewals, teaching staff are being terminated by the top management with no reason and due explanation.
