The Hong Kong Institute<br \/>\nof Ufology and the University of Hong Kong jointly sponsored the<br \/>\noptional course. The course was scheduled for last September but the<br \/>\nuniversity canceled it.<\/p>\n<p>Hong Kong&#39;s widest and most distributed newspaper, the <strong><em>Apple Daily<\/em><\/strong>,<br \/>\nreported in a headline that, \u201cA high level within the science faculty<br \/>\nput pressure on Hong Kong University General Education Department and<br \/>\ncalled off exopolitics lectures four hours before doors opened.\u201d Based<br \/>\non the <em>Apple Daily<\/em> article, the <a href=\"http:\/\/news.asiaone.com\/News\/Education\/Story\/A1Story20081229-111121.html\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Asia One News<\/strong><\/a><br \/>\nsaid also \u201cthe course was delayed and discussions were held on offering<br \/>\nit at a later date after some academics expressed reservations about<br \/>\nits content, Moon Fong, a committee member of the institute, told AFP.<br \/>\nSome members of the university&#39;s science faculty were concerned that<br \/>\nthe course would present only the views of the UFO experts,&quot; Fong said.<\/p>\n<p>The<br \/>\nemerging field of exopolitics is new to North American education as<br \/>\nwell.
