Students yesterday challenged the suitability of provisional legislators to sit on the council of Chinese University in place of ousted legislators.

Three members of the Chinese University Council must be from the Legislative Council under existing rules.

They will be chosen by the provisional legislature's house committee at a meeting today.

But Maggie Yung Hiu-kuen, president of the students' union, said the university should not treat the ousted Legco and the provisional legislature the same.

'The interim body is only selected by 400 people, it cannot represent Hong Kong people in monitoring the operations of the university,' she said.

The union argued that the interim body's functions, as specified by the Preparatory Committee before its establishment, did not include monitoring universities.
