- http://www.scmp.com/news/hong-kong/education-community/article/1998238/polyu-announces-new-programmes-give-hong-kong PolyU has been approved to offer a Bachelor of Business Administration (Hons) in Aviation Management and Logistics commencing September 2017. The programme will launch as a non-Jupas, two-year top-up programme for higher diploma and associate degree holders, and may evolve into a four-year degree for secondary school leavers in the future. Despite Hong Kong’s status as an international air transport hub, no local universities currently offer undergraduate degrees in aviation management. Aviation engineering degrees are currently only available at Hong Kong University of Science and Technology and PolyU. Achim Czerny, associate professor at PolyU’s Department of Maritime and Logistics, will head the newly-announced aviation management programme.Jason Middleton, head of the School of Aviation at the University of New South Wales in Australia, told the Post that Hong Kong has been the biggest source of foreign students for the school. The fees for international students at the Australian school are as high as AUD$39,360 (HK$231,490) per year, in addition to a one-time AUD$138,000 (HK$811,628) fee for those in the flying stream. Middleton said however, that mainland student enrolment increased in recent years. PolyU’s announcement comes after the Hong Kong government announced in January that the Airport Authority is working to establish a Civil Aviation Academy.

BVI case
- http://www.scmp.com/news/hong-kong/article/1938921/hong-kong-polytechnic-university-defends-setting-offshore-schemes Polytechnic University on Tuesday insisted it had the “understanding” of the governing council, alumni and staff in the wake of the Panama Papers revelation of secretive companies it had set up in the British Virgin Islands.  It came as a businessman involved in the controversy made remarks contradictory to PolyU, saying he was not the one who suggested taking up a bulk of the university’s shares in a failing business. Despite clarifications from PolyU seeking to allay public concerns arising from the revelation, questions remained as to the advantages of an offshore firm based in a tax haven, given the negative implications of avoiding transparency and public scrutiny.  “Why PolyU decided to transfer its shares to a BVI firm is its internal business and I would not comment on it,” Jonathan Choi Koon-sum, chairman of Sun Wah Group, told the Post. Choi confirmed he was reluctant to wind up the business altogether, saying he did not want to shut down any subsidiaries under the brand name of Sun Wah and sack employees. PolyU had only provided facilities from the very beginning, he added. PolyU Enterprises, according to the university, had already written off the full investment amount by June 2005, based on its net asset value position, prior to setting up the BVI firm in October 2012. “PolyU’s investment in [the joint venture] ... is not cash but in-kind contribution,” it added. The Panama Papers also uncovered another BVI firm owned ultimately by PolyU, which involves Digipower, a specialist in electrical science products such as adaptors. A source with knowledge of the company told the Post the business parter was unwilling to close the business, therefore “they can continue to make use of PolyU’s brand name”. PolyU said it was negotiating for the exit of its involvement in this company. Accounting sector lawmaker Kenneth Leung said it remained uncertain whether any public money was put into the money-losing businesses. “Even though PolyU has not allocated any of its funding to [Sun Wah-PearL Linux], how about the researchers who worked on it?” he asked. “Manpower is also a kind of capital.” League of Social Democrats’ Avery Ng Man-yuen, a management consultant specialising in acquisition and merger, was also unconvinced by PolyU’s claims that the use of BVI firms would be “more cost-effective” in terms of the actual operating and maintenance cost.

The Provost will also deputize as President during his absence.

Mr Nicholas Yang, currently Chief Executive Officer of the Hong Kong Cyberport Management Company Limited, has been appointed as the Executive Vice President a team of Vice Presidents with non-academic portfolios in the overall planning, development and operation of the University's non-academic enterprise. His portfolio will cover administration, institutional advancement and partnership development, as well as marketing, internationalisation and advanced executive development.

The appointments of Provost and Executive Vice President were approved by the University Council at a Special Meeting held today, while the appointment of three management posts at the level of Vice President are made by the Council's Senior Executives Evaluation and Compensation Committee. The new appointees (in order of alphabetical order by surname) are:

Prof. Judy Tsui, currently Associate Vice President, Dean of the Faculty of Business, Director of the Graduate School of Business and Chair Professor of Accounting, will assume the post of Vice President (Marketing, Internationalisation and Advanced Executive Development);

Prof. Angelina Yuen, currently Associate Vice President and Head of the Department of Applied Social Science, will assume the post of Vice President (Institutional Advancement and Partnership); and

Prof. Walter Yuen, Professor of Mechanical Engineering at the University of California, Santa Barbara, and Strategic Task Specialist of PolyU, will succeed Prof. Suleyman Demokan, Vice President (Academic Development), upon his retirement in mid 2010.

The commencement date of the above appointments will be in spring / summer of 2010, taking into consideration of the movement of the existing team. Mr Alexander Tzang, currently Deputy President, will retire at the end of this year, while Prof. Jan-ming Ko, Vice President (Special Duties) and Dr Sun-wing Lui, Vice President (Partnership Development), will retire in mid 2010. Prof. Albert Chan, Vice President (Research Development), will take up the Presidency of Hong Kong Baptist University in July next year. Recruitment of his replacement is currently underway.

"Prof. Chan, Prof. Demokan, Prof. Ko, Dr Lui and Mr Tzang have made immense contributions to the development of PolyU over the years. Their hard works have been instrumental in setting the University on its way and in bringing the success it enjoys today," said Prof. Tong.

"I have confidence that with the expertise and commitment of the new senior management team, PolyU will continue to do well with its mission of achieving excellence in a professional context and will bring the University to its next level of excellence," Prof. Tong added.

The University has gone through a stringent recruitment process by inviting application globally and shortlisting the right candidates through its Senior Executives Appointment Committee. More than 100 applications/nominations have been received for the top jobs while another 60 executives who were approached by the professional search service have indicated interest in the openings.
