Governance

Senate
Significant efforts have been made to improve the academic review procedure, develop an early admission program for gifted students, improve the quality of teaching and learning, and narrow the gaps in quality assurance activities through sharing good practices among Schools and Departments.

Council
The Council held three plenary meetings during the year. A major achievement was its conception of a three-session forum on the future development of Hong Kong, to demonstrate the University's commitment to the betterment of society. The Council also lent strong support to the third phase development and expansion of the campus — part of the University's continued progress towards becoming an international institution that engages in world-class research and provides all-round education.

Court
Strategic development plans and the University Grants Committee's Higher Education Review of Hong Kong were discussed. It was agreed that to fulfill its mission and vision the University must attract the best students, faculty and staff, and gain broad-based support from the community. The Court noted plans to launch an integrated outreach plan to help propel the University forward in its next phase of development.
