SINGAPORE, Aug 6 — The number of sexual misconduct complaints against National University of Singapore students doubled in the first half of this year compared to the same period last year, though there was a drop in complaints against staff members.
In all the 10 cases of alleged sexual misconduct by students, and one case by a staff member, police reports were filed. Of the 10 cases, two of them had disciplinary charges dismissed, while one was dropped due to insufficient evidence. Four cases resulted in disciplinary charges being handed to the respondents, while the rest are either pending investigation or have been referred to faculty for disciplinary action.
The other case occurred in March and involved a student who allegedly touched a complainant inappropriately without consent while they were in a hostel. The student also allegedly filmed a second victim naked without consent while they were in a hostel. The perpetrator was terminated from his position, having breached the code of conduct by behaving unprofessionally and inappropriately, NUS said.
