The University of Hong Kong announced on Tuesday it was cutting ties with its student union after a strong backlash against the union members glorification of an attempt to kill a police officer on July 1.
The university made the move just hours after Hong Kong Chief Executive Carrie Lam Cheng Yuet-ngor said university authorities should take further action against such behavior. The council of the university s student union had been criticized after it openly paid tribute to an assailant who stabbed a police officer on a busy street before killing himself.
