Bulletin Special Supplement Bidding Farewell to Prof. and Mrs. Charles K. Kao

爲配合大學之急速擴展，高教授致力更新管理架構，以提高行政效率，改善服務質素。 他引進校政分權管理的模式，下放更多決策權至各學院及學系；又推行新的資源分配制度， 建立內部監察機制，使各級主管更重視管理質量及責任之承擔。 高教授領導大學取得驕人成績，大學校董會深表讚賞與銘感，且接受大學教務會之推 薦 ，於高錕校長卸任之際，聘任其爲工程學榮譽講座教授。校董會並接受行政與計劃委員會 之推薦，將科學館北座命名爲「高錕樓」和設立「高錕基金」 ，以發展學術硏究，促進國際聯 繫及學生活動。 高錕教授之夫人爲黃美芸女士 ，有一子一女。 □ A fter almost nine years as vice-chancellor o f The Chinese University o f H ong Kong, Prof. Charles K.
