The
Review was led by Lord Sutherland, a senior member of the UGC and Principal
and Vice-Chancellor of the University of Edinburgh, UK. He was advised
by a Steering Committee comprising mainly local UGC members who were directly
involved in, or familiar with, higher education in Hong Kong.
In conducting the review, the UGC was very conscious of the economic situation
of Hong Kong, higher education developments in the region and beyond,
as well as challenges and opportunities brought about by Hong Kong's competitors
and strategic partners.
The Review was completed and the Review report was released in March 2002.
