A top Chinese university has taken swift action by firing a professor following allegations of sexual harassment made by a graduate student on social media. The student, identified as Wang Di, posted a 59-minute video on Weibo detailing her experiences of physical and verbal abuse by her supervisor at Renmin University of China’s School of Liberal Arts in Beijing.
Wang Di revealed that the professor had harassed her for over two years after she rejected his advances, leading to a toxic work environment where she was subjected to scolding and threats affecting her academic progress. She provided audio clips as evidence, including one where the professor can be heard attempting to kiss her despite her repeated objections.
