上周大學生及示威者佔據大學與警方對峙，浸會大學受到破壞。隨着示威者離開，校方收回校舍，浸大今日（22日）向師生、教職員及校友發電郵，指校方關注校園及師生的安全問題，即日起會加強校園保安措施，包括實施出入管制，所有師生均須出示證件才能入校，所有入校的大型行李均須接受安檢，而一切涉及外來人士或團體之活動將取消，訪客只能在登記身份證及師生陪伴下方能入校，以防止外來人士入侵或故意破壞校園設施。校方更呼籲學生最近不要回校，而住宿學生亦宜離開校園。

強烈呼籲仍在校學生離開校園

浸大校方表示，為確保師生安全，九龍塘校區將實行嚴格的出入管制，所有浸大師生及教職員必須出示浸大學生證、職員證方能入校；即日起九龍塘校舍只維持基本服務和運作，所有學生及教職員的活動，以及涉及外間團體或人士的活動均會取消，意味非浸大師生不能入校。

浸大同時強烈呼籲仍住在宿舍的學生離開校園，由於所有面授教學已轉為在線或校外學習，故校方亦建議學生不要回校。

訪客只能在師生陪伴及登記下進校

至於有學生或教職員陪同的訪客，在出示身份證登記，可在指定三個入口進校（包括逸夫行政樓、善衡校園金城道入口、浸會大學路中醫學院小巴站附近入口），惟停留時間只限於每日早上7時至晚上11時。而不論是師生或訪客攜帶的大型物件及行李，均須在入校前接受安全檢查。

校方同時公布，圖書館及飯堂等設施將暫停或只提供有限度服務，如大學內的浸信會教堂已關閉、校內大多餐廳及食堂會停業、校園校友使用體育設施等服務亦已暫停。

加強版保安措施會持續至另行通知

校方在電郵末段表示，明白有關措施將為大家帶來不便，但管理層在香港目前情況下，加強保安是必需的，希望此舉可確保師生安全。而有關保安措施將立即生效至另行通知，有機會會持續至下一學期。

【浸會大學今日（22日）向師生、教職員及校友發出的電郵全文】Dear HKBU Community,

Campus Security Arrangements Announced

As campus safety and risks remain a major concern, the University has decided to introduce additional safeguards to ensure the safety of students and colleagues, to prevent the intrusion of outsiders, and also to prevent vandalism and damages of our campus facilities. The additional safety measures as set out below take immediate effect until further notice, and are likely to remain in force until the start of the next semester.

Essential services only

With immediate effect, the Kowloon Tong Campus will maintain essential services and basic operation only. All students and staff events as well as events involving outside parties and external guests are cancelled.

Staff’s work arrangements

As the campus is in basic operation mode while all essential services have to be maintained, department heads will exercise discretion in deciding the most effective work arrangements including flexible hours arrangement for their team, having regard to operational needs.

Students advised to stay away from campus

Students still staying in hostels on campus are encouraged to leave the campus. Students not living on campus are strongly advised not to come back to campus, as all on-campus face-to-face teaching, assessments, and research activities have been switched to on-line learning and other off-campus modes.

Alumni services

On-campus alumni services such as usage of sports facilities have been suspended until the campus is back to normal operation.

Access control at Kowloon Tong Campus

To ensure safety for our students and colleagues and to give them the peace of mind so that they feel safe, strict access control will be implemented at Kowloon Tong Campus. Outsiders who have no business in HKBU will not be allowed to enter the campus at all times. For visitors coming to the campus to meet with students or staff, they have to produce photo ID, register, and be escorted by the sponsoring students or staff for entering the campus.

Visitors are allowed to remain on campus during 7 am – 11 pm only. Outside this period, no visitors will be allowed to stay on campus.

Details of access control:

1.  HKBU Personnel: Students, colleagues, and service providers:They have to show their HKBU Student Cards / Staff Cards / company staff cards on entry to Kowloon Tong Campus.

2.  Visitors:

Visitors accompanied by students or staff can enter the Kowloon Tong Campus only through three designated entry points where they have to produce photo ID, register, and be escorted by their students/staff sponsors. The three designated entry points are set out as follows and also shown on the attached map: (a) Shaw Tower main entrance;(b) Entrance adjacent to the minibus stop at Baptist University Road near School of Chinese Medicine; (c) HSH Campus entrance at Kam Shing Road.

3. For staff-sponsor visitors, optional prior registration can be made through the respective department heads to reduce visitor waiting time at entry points for completing the entry procedure.For alumni, entry registration can be done through the Alumni Affairs Office.

Bringing bulky material and baggage into the campus

Bulky substances and baggage will be subject to security check. This applies to students, colleagues, and visitors alike.

The above measures will inevitably cause inconvenience to all members of the HKBU community but judging from what had happened elsewhere in Hong Kong, the university management judges that they are necessary and essential. We appeal to you for patience and understanding so that students and colleagues would not only be safe but also feel safe. All arrangements will return to normal once the situation so warrants.  For urgent security-related issues, please call the hotline on 3411 7777.
