An economist at the Chinese University of Hong Kong (CUHK) has issued a formal apology for a campus talk criticised as “sexist”, as an online petition calling for his suspension from college duties drew nearly 100 signatures.
Terence Chong Tai-leung, an associate head of New Asia College and an associate professor in CUHK’s Department of Economics, posted the apology on his personal Facebook page on Tuesday, a week after making the remarks during an assembly presentation.
“I sincerely apologise for the public discontent and offence caused to some individuals by my remarks at the recent New Asia College assembly,” Chong, who is also an alumnus of the college, wrote on Tuesday.
