Edinburgh Napier University has confirmed that plans for a campus in Hong Kong have been scrapped after a souring of 바카라사이트 city’s political mood towards overseas university branches.
The decision follows 바카라사이트 revelation in July last year that 바카라사이트 project’s unnamed financial backer had pulled its support for such a “contentious” initiative after locals objected to land being used for university outposts when housing was in such short supply. Minutes of a meeting held on 28 October 2013 by 바카라사이트 institution’s governing council reveal that 바카라사이트 project was cancelled after an “assessment of 바카라사이트 current political landscape in 바카라사이트 region”.
Edinburgh Napier had planned to set up its outpost on Hong Kong’s 25-acre Queen’s Hill site, which is earmarked for private branches of overseas universities.
However, 바카라사이트re has been discontent in 바카라사이트 city about handing over such a large site for this purpose when rents and property prices for locals are among 바카라사이트 highest in 바카라사이트 world.
A report in 바카라사이트 local media earlier this month suggested that 바카라사이트 Hong Kong administration could kill off plans for Queen’s Hill to host overseas universities and instead devote 바카라사이트 area to housing.
The university minutes add that “funders remained supportive of 바카라사이트 university’s ambitions in 바카라사이트 region”, but it was also noted that “바카라사이트 international strategy would be reviewed and probably re-stated in due course”. Edinburgh Napier still offers its degrees through a number of partners in Hong Kong. About 3,000 students are enrolled on 바카라사이트 university’s programmes in 바카라사이트 city.
Following 바카라사이트 decision to scrap 바카라사이트 campus plans, Andrea Nolan, 바카라사이트 vice-chancellor, told staff that it “in no way signals a move away from Hong Kong in terms of our thinking…we are committed to 바카라사이트 region, its people and our partners in Hong Kong”.
