要求交代有關學系收生準則變更事宜

在上周五（四月二十二日）有音樂系同學指，校方早前知會該系系會同學，未來將會把音樂系的收生由崇基學院擴闊至所有書院，而系方以至書院亦對此表示不知情。就此­，本會對此深表關注。據本會了解，這安排亦會延伸至崇基神學院、新亞藝術系及新亞人類學系等。而且，其原委是由於實行三三四新學制後，校方將中大由以學系為本的­教學系統（department-based system）轉為以學院為本（faculty-based system），故在此翻天覆地的改變下，學系影響力將大大減弱，甚至令部份學系最終面對被重組的厄運。對於校方重施故技，刻意在臨近學期完結才向有關同學知會是次變動，令­學生未能在上課日子深入討論和參與決策，本會對此表示遺憾。

是次政策的改變，並非只是個別學系所面對的處境，而是和未來「三三四」大學新政息息相關，故此，中大所有持份者均有了解詳情的權利。就此，本會要求校方在本周交­代有關對學系政策改變的原因，以及解釋未有在事前諮詢學生、系方及書院意見的原因。最後，本會懇切希望，中大四十多年來「師生共治」、「校政民主」能真正落實在­校園中。

Call for an explanation regarding the change of the department-based recruitment system

Several students from the department of music reported, on last Friday, that the administration alerted the student from the music society of the new arrangement in new students' recruitment in the following year. The new plan is to allocate the freshmen into all college rather than the current practice of only into the Chung Chi College. The department and the Chung Chi College claimed that they were not informed of such a decision made. The Student Union of CUHK pays great attention in this regard. As far as the latest update on this matter, this arrangement extends to the Chung Chi Theology Department, New Asia Fine Arts Department, New Asia Anthropology Department, etc. The reason the administration claim is to allow faculties to implement faculty-based admission under the 3+3+4 academic reform rather than the department-based admission. After this dramatic change in rrangement, the influence of various departments will be diminished, to the extent of consolidating some departments into one. The Student Union is paying its regret to the administration for its usual tactics of alerting students at the end of a term in the hope of having less rebound from the students.

This sudden change of policy does not affect one or two department in CUHK but it relates to the general direction the university is heading towards after the 3+3+4 academic reform has formally implemented in Hong Kong. As for that, all stakeholders should be able to be informed and understood regarding the new plan. The Student Union is demanding an explanation from the administration in terms of the reason of not consulting the faculty, college, staff and students before the implementation.
