陈松年如果当系主任HKUST那就彻底完蛋了，这家伙天天威胁这个骂那个的，有点权力就要把他不喜欢的人置于死地。
What's going on with HKUST
-
UB played a role in ensuring PG leaves. Of course in terms of outer appearances he would maintain an appearance that he would've loved to keep PG around. UB would rather be the sole king of a dying kingdom than share power and rule over a bigger and vibrant one. He would want to hire good juniors though, since they would be no threat to his power

They are losing people for their really stu/pid mindset.
For example, when their faculty asking for salary boost with a competing offer from other top schools will get a blunt rejection "just leave, we won't increase your salary"
Such a mindset, toxic.
HKUST is declining for sure.

Similar feeling.
UST has established a good reputation by following the U.S. rule. They are super practical and strategic playing the publication game (number of A-tier papers). Other than these papers, no way they are as good, resourceful, and promising as HKU.
HKUST is declining for sure.

Well, summarizing the above:
1. UST has established a good reputation in the past decades by following the U.S. rule. They are super practical and strategic playing the publication game (number of A-tier papers). Other than these papers, no way they are as good, resourceful, and promising as HKU.
2. But now they are losing people for their really stu/pid mindset. For example, when their faculty asking for salary boost with a competing offer from other top schools will get a blunt rejection "just leave, we won't increase your salary" Such a mindset, toxic.
3. To sum up, UST used to be successful in the past decade simply by following the American rule, resulting in a high rank. BUT, their decline is inevitable for lack of resources and the illness mindset.
