【學苑專訊】評議會主席譚振聲、會長陳冠康及常務秘書柯文俊今晨先後發出四封MASS EMAIL，分別就評議會第九次緊急會議復會合憲性及選舉安排等議題撰文。
譚於電郵中指第九次評議會緊急會議(ECM9) 已於1月2日凌晨根據評議會附例「散會」，並指於同日早上的「續會通知」以及晚上的評議會為無效及違憲。( the so-called notice of the resumption of ECM9 in the morning and at 7:30 pm on 2 January 2013 is invalid and unconstitutional.)
柯文俊於電郵中以選委會主席身份交代院務委員會以及學生會周年大選（包括幹事會、學苑、校園電視以及普選評議員）的提名期。據電郵內容，前者提名期於2013年12月25日開始，後者截止提名日期為2013年1月7日中午12時。
陳冠康則以「一場發生在港大的荒謬事件」為題，指評議會「強行推翻選委會一切合法、合憲、合程序之決定。」並點名批評校園傳媒「壟斷資訊發佈渠道的情況下，選委會被無理地妖魔化」、「部分仍有職權在身的校園傳媒幹事將會參選，難逃公器私用之嫌，不斷用手中媒體打壓對手」文末更稱「我有話直說，可能會開罪一整個政治勢力集團」，然而並無回應於表決「選委會決定為無效」議案時阻礙出版秘書陳志祥舉手投贊成票一事。
另外，包括大學事務秘書一陳樂怡（現為新任選委會成員）在內的部分幹事，現時已無法使用學生會portal帳戶的功能。陳表示，學生會portal密碼在1月2日晚上（即評議會第九次緊急會議復會期間）遭更改，此前所有幹事均能登入學生會portal帳戶。 陳又指，已在幹事會Whatsapp Group向其他幹事查詢是否更改了密碼，如已更改，應向所有幹事交代，惟暫未有人回應。

【學生會】一場發生在港大的荒謬事件

各位港大同學及舊生：
一場發生在港大的荒謬事件
2012年2月10日，我當選港大學生會會長，並停學一年，專注學生會工作。過去一年，荊棘滿途、風波不斷。在重回課堂前的最後一段日子，除了開展學生會百週年的活動外，我最關心的是學生會的傳承，特別是公平、公正、公開的週年大選──這關乎到學生會的未來及我們的下一代。
上任之時，前輩告誡我：「學生會是一個是非之地，是一個充滿政治的地方。學生會的權力鬥爭是永不休止的。」當時，我半信半疑，「難道學生會一定要這樣？」近日，有關學生會選舉的爭議充分體現前輩所言，讓我感到十分無奈。眼見不少同學均未能理解，甚至被謠言所誤；眼見評議員與參選者之間的利益輸送，甚至不惜公然違反學生會憲章，視法治如無物──若然我繼續保持沉默，又豈能對得住學生會的百年歷史？我不得不寫出我的心聲。
日前，評議會通宵討論週年大選的安排。選委會主席於會議上表示，自己曾經考慮參選，故已在第一次會議上將其權責交予其他委員，但最終並無遞交提名表格。席間，有評議員質疑選舉委員會所作的決定「違憲」，但由於說了數小時也未能指出任何「違憲」的地方，最後竟以「選委會主席曾經『有諗過』參選，因而有明顯的『利益輸送』」為由，強行推翻選委會一切合法、合憲、合程序之決定。
不過，在推翻選委會所訂定的安排後，有部分已表明將會參選的同學卻公然參與評議會重新就選舉安排的討論，而不少曾發言的評議員竟認為此舉並無不妥，更沒有利益衝突。以荒謬、指鹿為馬的歪理去推翻選委會合法的決議，好讓己方能夠強行奪取制定選舉安排的權力；由參選者自行定立遊戲規則，明顯是赤裸裸的利益輸送，做法可悲。
更令我震驚的是，當晚評議會主席宣佈散會及在不少評議員已經離開後，部分評議員竟自行留下，單方面宣稱繼續會議，並選出一位同學出任「主席」，更違憲地自行成立「選舉委員會」及「暫停」其他人的職務，公然視程序正義與法治精神如無物！
其實，若然同學能獲得充分的資訊，平心而論，均會得出上述的分析。然而，在校園傳媒壟斷資訊發佈渠道的情況下，選委會被無理地妖魔化，而真正有實質利益衝突之嫌的一方卻被包裝成「正義之師」。過去一年的例子實在是太多。部分仍有職權在身的校園傳媒幹事將會參選，難逃公器私用之嫌，不斷用手中媒體打壓對手，以增加自己的勝算。我尊重校園傳媒同學的編採自立，但總不能對赤裸裸的利益輸送視而不見。我更要為未能夠讓同學從校園傳媒中全面認清資訊而道歉。我呼籲同學切忌輕信單方面的訊息，而是需要從不的渠道充分了解事件。
上莊一年，老了十載：壓力大、睡眠少、身體差。不單止身心拘疲，更深明自己不是搞政治的材料，也不太想再參與學生會的事務，離開這個是非之地，離開讓人煩厭的鬥爭。很多朋友亦勸我少說為妙，安然落莊。不過，即使有可能令人重新借機攻擊我對「登報事件」的處理手法，但我無法因為群情洶湧而只講漂亮的說話，卻不去道出真相。我希望將我了解到的學生會的政治呈現在同學眼前，讓大家明白在權力鬥爭下，一些人表面上的行徑與實際上的動機，落差可以很大。
我有話直說，可能會開罪一整個政治勢力集團，毫無益處，但我始終放心不下，不想見到學生會繼續年復年地成為政治較量的鬥爭之地──學生會必須掃除政治的污雲，選出一班一心一意為同學服務的幹事。
感謝每一位同學在過往一年對學生會的支持。我仍然堅信，只有團結一致，才能捍衛學生會的獨立自主。共勉之。
香港大學學生會會長

【HKUSU】Invalid “Council Meeting” and “Election Committee Meeting” on 2 and 3 January 2013 respectively
Students’ Union [[email protected]]

Dear Union Members,
Invalid “Council Meeting” and “Election Committee Meeting” on 2 and 3 January 2013 respectively
I am writing to clarify that the Emergency Council Meeting 9 (ECM9) began at 10:30pm on 1 January 2013 was adjourned in the morning on 2 January 2013, more than 8 hours after its commencement. The “meeting” conducted by some of the Councillors, the “committee concerning the election” established by themselves and other “resolutions” afterwards are invalid and unconstitutional.
According to V, Section III, Union Council By-laws, “at a time 6 hours after the commencement of the meeting, the proceedings on any business, agendum or motion under consideration shall be interrupted, and if the Union Council is in committee, the Union Council shall resume: provided that, if the Council Chairperson is of the opinion that the proceedings on which the Union Council is engaged could be concluded by a short deferment of the moment of interruption, he may in his discretion defer interrupting the business”. Upon the request of interruption by Councillors, considering the meeting could not be concluded by a short deferment, I had to adjourn the meeting in accordance to Union Council By-laws.
Please note that no motions on agenda discussion could be entered and no resolutions on the agenda could be derived after the adjournment of meeting. Logically, Council Chairman, Honorary Secretary and all other Councillors shall not be considered as “absence”, as descirbe by the remaining Councillors. No acting Council Chairman and Honorary Secretary could be elected.
Further, the Union Constitution provides that the Union Council Meeting shall be convened by Council Chairman and outside the Council Meeting only Council Chairman or Honorary Secretary (in my absence) can call the Meeting. It is therefore invalid for a “so-called” unconstitutional fake “Council Chairman” (EDSR – Representative of the Education Society, HKUSU – Miss Vivian LI Wai-yan) to act in my capacity. Therefore, the notice so-called issued by Miss LI on ended ECM9 is invalid due to contravention to the Union Constitution.
Last but not least, notice of the Meetings shall be sent to all Councillors at least 24 hours beforehand. Clearly the “resumption” (which is not constitutionally recognized by me) is another new Meeting session which requires prior sufficient notice.
Base on the facts as stated above, the so-called notice of the resumption of ECM9 in the morning and at 7:30 pm on 2 January 2013 is invalid and unconstitutional. Moreover, the rights for actions against the unconstitutional acts done by some Councillors are preserved.
With warmest regards,
Tam Chun Sing
Council Chairperson
HKUSU Council
Session 2012
