A university in Hong Kong expelled a master’s degree student and suspended another after a clash over an on-campus news bulletin.

Hong Kong Polytechnic University expelled Gerald Ho and suspended former student-union president Lam Wing-hang for one year after they confronted the school management about interfering with the content on the school’s “democracy wall” bulletin board, the union said on its Facebook page.
