Hong Kong’s Lingnan University student union ceases operations after 6 decades

The student union of Hong Kong’s Lingnan University has decided to dissolve after nearly six decades of operation, citing 'changes in the situation both on and off campus' as the reason. The decision was made during a recent joint meeting and marks another instance of student unions closing in Hong Kong. Currently, only two public universities still have active student unions, with one prohibited from operating on campus. The union highlighted its longstanding commitment to student welfare and social engagement but did not specify the exact reasons for its closure. The organization described the decision as difficult, reflecting broader challenges facing student-led groups in the region.
