Robert Chung Affair (Chinese: 鍾庭耀事件), or Chung affair or Pollgate (Chinese: 港大民調風波; lit. 'HKU Pollster controversies'),[1] is a Hong Kong political scandal in 2000 over the interference in pollsters.
Robert Chung Ting-yiu, who led the Public Opinion Programme of the University of Hong Kong (HKUPOP), accused Chief Executive Tung Chee-hwa of pressuring his pollster through vice-chancellor and pro-vice-chancellor of the University of Hong Kong (HKU) to stop publishing government's approval rate. The scandal shocked the public as an attempt to infringe the academic freedom, and that the headmaster of the university collaborated with the authorities. An investigation panel set up by the HKU concluded the charges brought by Chung were authentic, resulted in the subsequent resignations of the two university heads. Tung's closet aide Andrew Lo, however, stayed in office despite his involvement.
