Gloria Chang Wan-ki (張韻琪) is the former president of The Hong Kong University Students' Union (2000), who was a main critic of the university leaders during the "Pollgate" controversy concerning government pressure on Robert Chung Ting-yiu, who conducted polls.[1][2]
She was a major contributor to the resignation of the former Vice Chancellor of The University of Hong Kong (HKU) Professor Cheng Yiu-chung.[3][4] Gloria Chang has been arrested for "illegal assembly" when protesting university fees in 2000.[5][6] As of February 2007 she was working at Greenpeace Hong Kong as a climate and energy campaigner.[7][8] She is also a Roman Catholic.[9]
Chang, along with HKU politics professor Joseph Chan were the middlemen in coordinating the televised debate between protest leaders and government officials amid the 2014 Umbrella Movement.[10] She opposed the confrontational, non-cooperative approach of radical protesters and called for dialogue and compromise on both sides.
