The Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST) on Tuesday announced that its president Wei Shyy will step down on October 19 next year, almost a year before his five-year term is due to end.
Shyy didn't explain why he was resigning.
But in a statement he said: "The sense of duty to serve HKUST’s long-term interests and overall standing has guided our thinking and action during challenging time."
The aerospace professor became head of HKUST in September 2018.
The university said it will launch a global search for a new president.
