香港中文大学学生会解散声明
【中大人有缘再会】
半世纪以来,香港中文大学学生会与全体师生风雨同行,共同成长。作为校园内唯一获全体同学民意授权之代表机构,学生会于一九七一年由新亚、崇基、联合三所书院之学生代表共同创立。多年来,学生会坚持民主自治、员生共治与书院联邦之精神,为同学、为大众谋福祉。
一直以来,作为中文大学一员,我们与校方关系虽时有张驰,仍有沟通之道。即使在风雨飘摇的日子,校方依然承认学生会在校内合法地位。然而,自今年二月以来,校方宣布停止代收学生会会费,并要求我们向政府独立注册,自行承担法律责任。对此,学生会曾征询专业法律意见,大律师建议学生会“不需要”独立注册。若顺应法律意见,学生会五十年之历史恐终于此朝;否之,我们则难以自处的两难。
有鉴于此,为同学最大利益着想,我们于二零二一年九月十日召开学生会联席会议,接纳学生会代表会全体代表请辞及解散中大学生会之议案。自此,历五十一届,坚持由民主程序产生的中大学生会,成为历史。
无可奈何花落去,似曾相识燕归来。感谢中大同学及社会各界多年来与我们同行。中大学生会虽已解散,但中大人仍在。
诸君珍重,有缘再会。

Statement on Dissolving The Student Union of The Chinese University of Hong Kong
【We Will Meet Again】
For over half a century The Student Union of The Chinese University of Hong Kong (CUSU) has gone through thick and thin, always standing side-by-side with the students and faculty of our university. Jointly founded in 1971 by student representatives from the three colleges of New Asia, Chung Chi, and United, it has been the only organization mandated to represent the student body on campus. Over the years CUSU has upheld the principles of democratic and federal self-government and co-government for
students, and dedicated itself to promoting the common good throughout ever-changing times.
As a member of the CUHK community, we have always maintained open channels of communication with the university administration. Even during the most severe challenges, the administration continued to recognize and affirm our legitimacy and legal status on campus. However, in February of this year, University administration announced that they would stop collecting fees for the Student Union starting this academic year September 2021. They also demanded that we register through government agencies
instead of recognizing our registration on campus as had been the long-established practice. In response, CUSU sought professional legal opinion and was advised that “the ordinance does not apply to CUSU” for independent registration. We are now torn between following the legal advice or complying with the university administration’s demand.
To serve the best interest of our students, CUSU convened a joint meeting on 10 September 2021 to give the matter serious and deliberate consideration. A motion was adopted to accept the collective resignation of the student representatives of the CUSU Council and to dissolve CUSU.
For fifty years CUSU existed as an independent student organization whose representatives were elected through a democratic process. It is a matter of profound regret that CUSU is now history.
I would like to thank our students and the public for standing with us all this time. Although CUSU no longer exists as an organization, CUHKers are still here and we remain faithful to the ideals that have guided us throughout.
Take care.
The Student Union of The Chinese University of Hong Kong
