Dean Fung visits Cambridge University and the New College of Humanities in London, hoping to land a job there

Dear pals,

I’ll be in England for about 10 days, starting June 10, firstly visiting my alma mater (Cambridge University), which is celebrating its 100th anniversary and secondly cold-calling the New College of Humanities, which will accept its first batch of 200 students this September. The New College will become the 3rd elite private university in England, after Cambridge and Oxford universities. It will charge students tuition of HK$250,000 a year. A Hong Kong student, who needs to pay room-and-board and books etc., has to fork out HK$500,000 per year if he/she wants to enrol in the New College. I just want to talk to the college administrators to see whether they will employ a Hong Kong Chinese as a lecturer. C you in 2 weeks’ time. Take care, Ciao!
