Former Civil Service Secretary, Joseph Wong, urged all members of the Hong Kong University's Council to come clean and act according to their conscience, when they decide on the next pro-vice-chancellor.

Mr Wong was speaking after he signed a petition, together with 1,500 other alumni of HKU, demanding the institution stop delaying the appointment.

Mr Wong also told RTHK that that he is deeply saddened by the situation because it shows political interference is damaging the SAR's academic freedom.
