商台節目《在晴朗的一天出發》繼日前播出港大校委李國章有關反對陳文敏出任副校長的錄音後,今早再播出聲稱是另一校委紀文鳳於同日校委會上的錄音,批評陳文敏威嚇校委會成員通過其任命,對陳文敏誠信有保留。

該段錄音指出,紀文鳳認為陳文敏自己製造爭議,又以外部及內部力量,間接或直接游說、預先表明、脅逼、恐嚇、偽造,甚至威嚇校委會成員通過其任命。(he has gone too far, to create controversy and use external and internal forces, directly or indirectly to lobby, pre-claim, coerce, intimidate, fabricate and sometimes even threaten Council members to approve his appointment.)
她又指自己是「受害者」,遭本港一份報章於本年2月12日指控她於校委會中拖延有關任命,因此需要發表公開聲明澄清,批評有關手段嚴重平預大學事務。

紀文鳳於今日再獲行政長官宣佈續任為港大校務委員,任期三年,下個月七號生效。而港大已就早前李國章錄音外洩一事報警處理,案件交由西區重案組2隊跟進。
商台整理紀文鳳錄音講話全文:
「Chairman, I have been a corporate CEO and employer for over 30 years, and I have interviewed and hired hundreds of people in the past. But never in my life have I encountered a candidate who will overtly and recklessly discuss his or her potential employment at any stage of the recruitment process. This in fact is already in breach of confidentiality.
It is most unfortunate that the candidate recommended by the University Search Committee has never been tabled at this Council for deliberation, in our view we are actually doing it according to procedures.
I am in support of press freedom and also in sympathy with the candidate who defended himself against the criticism of some media, but apparently he has gone too far, to create controversy and use external and internal forces, directly or indirectly to lobby, pre-claim, coerce, intimidate, fabricate and sometimes even threaten Council members to approve his appointment. I myself was a victim on Febrary12 this year, when I was accused by a local newspaper for stalling his appointment at this Council. I then had to issue a public statement to clarify that the Council has not even started to discuss this appointment. This is just one incident among many, and to me, all these tactics in fact are interferences with the University affairs at highest level.
As members of the Council, and also trustee of the University, we are professionals with our independent judgment and ethics, we do our assessment based on the (…… )community at large. Given that position of the pro-vice-chancellor is responsible for academic recruitment and resources, the pro-vice-chancellor should be a role model for all, staff and students included. So I have strong reservation about the recommended candidate’s integrity and I would not accept the recommendation. Thank you.」
