【科大校長史維：譴責暴力之餘 應探討事件成因】
科大校長史維向全校師生發信，指在昨天及今日凌晨在立法會大樓發生的事件，令人痛心及傷感。
史維表示，正如很多人認為，暴力行為應受譴責，但從過去數星期中的觀察，不應將事件解讀為偶發或只就個別議題不滿而已。他認為有需要了解為何很多也是年輕人及學生的示威者，清楚知道在法律制度下可能要面對後果，以及會被社會批評，但仍然作出這些行為。
史維認為，要面對當下的挑戰，就應該要討論問題的根源，只是不斷重複一式一樣的聲明或持續衝突，只會造成更大的撕裂，香港將成為最終輸家。任何人關心香港的未來，都應該致力促成對話。

Dear members of HKUST:
It is distressing and heartbreaking to see how the incident inside the Legislative Council Complex played out yesterday and this morning. As pointed out by many, violence should be condemned. However, observing how things unfolded over the past few weeks, the situation can’t be interpreted as a sign of temporary or single topic discontent only. We need to acknowledge that the protestors, many of them youngsters and students, would want to commit such acts even though they are fully aware of the consequences. While there are possible actions to be pursued by the legal system as well as judgment being rendered by the society, we should discuss the root cause to address the challenges we face. But first and now, appropriate steps must be taken swiftly to diffuse the tension.
It is essential that all parties, public or private, adopt an open and approachable attitude in listening to one another by means of direct conversation. It is difficult but this is what has to be done. Repeating identical statements or persistent confrontation will only bring more divide and can’t serve the interest of our home; and Hong Kong will be the ultimate loser.
Anyone caring for the future of Hong Kong should make an effort to forge such a conversation. As a concerned citizen and an educator, I stand ready to join hands with you to achieve this goal.
Yours sincerely,
Wei Shyy
President
