In a statement, the bureau said academic freedom is an important social value treasured by Hong Kong and a cornerstone of its higher education sector's success and renown in the world, adding that the Government has all along upheld academic freedom and institutional autonomy which are protected by the Basic Law.
Noting that all post-secondary institutions in the city are independent and autonomous bodies that enjoy autonomy in managing their institutional affairs, the statement stressed that the Government does not interfere with academic exchanges between the institutions and local or overseas academic organisations.
The statement also noted that as a matter of course, the institutions are responsible for ensuring that their operations meet the requirements of the law, and the interests of their students and the community as a whole.
