Name censorship

In 2016, the Hong Kong Government's Leisure and Cultural Services Department was criticized as in breach of freedom of expression for blocking use of the university name in any form that included the word 'National'/'國立'. The department, responsible for most of the territory's arts venues, told TNUA graduate Law Shuk-yin, an art administrator and executive producer for drama company The Nonsensemakers, that she could not use the name in her biography in promotional material for her production at a theatre it managed.[1]

Honorary doctors of art

Notable Honorary Doctors of Art from TNUA include cellist and conductor Mstislav Rostropovich, composer Shui-Long Ma, choreographer Huai-min Lin, and theatrical set designer Ming-Cho Lee.
