HKUST students should organize a protest to boycott him from being the head. It doesn’t matter for those who go to the industry (which are actually most of them), but for those who want to stay in the academia and do serious research, it is the difference between god and dog.
松年研究做得很好，就是不会做人
You should never expect anything good from someone who said students were inferior to dogs. He gives his students the hardest tasks but offers no help when they go to the job market, and his students have the worst placement across the department. Let him being the head will be a disaster, as if Trump being the US president, or even worse.
Chen Songnian will be the head. HKUST econ is over.What is wrong with Chen?
