「張校長,有請」

朋友被控襲警,於是我七點鐘起床,趕去東區法院聽審,誰知去到金鐘,才知道那位大律師生病,今天不能開庭。於是就可以食完早餐,再去見見張翔候任校長。舉手舉了好多次,才得到可以問張翔教授一個問題,我當然是關心大學的男女不平等的問題。

何:So glad to know what you had the experience of serving on the Committee of Equality, Diversity and Inclusion at your university. Are you aware of HKU's involvement in the HeforShe UN initiative? Many studies on the higher education sector have told us that it is very difficult/more difficult for women to get tenured, it is very very difficult for women to be promoted to full professors, not to mention becoming the Dean or taking up senior management positions! How do you nurture an environment that will help women climb to the top and become the world leader that you have just talked about! What can we expect from the President's Office if you were to become the Vice Chancellor?

張:Berkeley 剛有 一個 female president 呀! 有啲 good role models 對 high school girls and blah blah blah 好重要啊!

大致是這樣吧,反正都是沒有內容的簡短幾句敷衍的說話。因為我手中已經沒有 mic, 我只好大聲問:

何:So what will you do for us?
張:要了解和硏究一下 ... 。

他沒有再說要做甚麼領袖了。 這就是我們的新校長。

其他問題?當然有:港獨、學術自由、言論自由,電視新聞已有報道:「自由?當然是要有 limit 㗎喇!要合乎法律和道德!」

唯一大家沒有看到的是:大家對張教授這個答案拍爛手掌。我很吃驚,不斷問周圍的同事:「為什麼會會有人拍掌,還拍得這麼大聲?」

有說:「藍絲鼓掌是因為覺得校長尊重法治,很值得支持呀。」也有說:「只是因為在結尾大家感謝他今天的駕臨,掌聲和他怎麼答最後這條問題無關。」哦!
為了搞清楚這個問題,中午我再去招待 alumni 那一場。同一問題,同一答案,今次我更清清楚楚的聽到和見到有一大班人拍得好大聲!同場有一些校友和我也交換了吃驚的眼神,之後也有人和我同聲一哭。

這就是我們第一次見到新校長,我們的老師和校友,很多都來了拍掌。很想知道同學的那一場究竟是怎樣!有沒有人能告訴我,究竟同學有沒有拍掌拍得這麼大聲?

晚上去了立法會集會,最後也只好黯然離去。
