HONG KONG — A female PhD student at one of China's top universities took social media by storm after accusing her academic supervisor of sexual harassment and said he threatened to stop her from attaining her doctorate for refusing his advances. Her school said Monday it launched an investigation.
Wearing a mask, she claimed the professor, an ex-vice dean and a former Communist Party representative at the school, physically and verbally abused her. She also said for more than two years, he assigned her many unpaid tasks, scolded her, and threatened that she would not graduate after she rejected him.
“At this moment, I can no longer endure it and have nowhere to retreat, so I am speaking out,” she wrote. Her post drew 1.73 million likes as of Monday early afternoon, with many users leaving comments in support of the student who demanded the professor be legally punished and a new supervisor be appointed for her. She also said she was willing to be held legally responsible for her accusations against the professor.
