NUS to hold town hall this week to address concerns of sexual misconduct on campus.

“The University has heard your concerns. We are holding a town hall this week for NUS students, faculty and staff to gather feedback and concerns about sexual misconduct on campus and to discuss how the University can further strengthen its disciplinary and support frameworks,” NUS said in a post on its Facebook page.

The NUS Board of Discipline had ordered the male student to be suspended for one semester, banned from entering into housing premises on campus, undergo counselling, write a letter of apology, among other punishments. The first-time offender was also given a 12-month conditional warning by the police.

The students also proposed four sets of recommendations to tackle sexual harassment on campus and asked NUS to implement them. Among them were providing “stronger immediate redressal” for Baey by making a stronger statement against sexual harassment on campus and the setting up of an Office of Sexual Harassment Prevention, Reporting, and Response.

The mindset of the management team is clearly archaic. I feel bad for the victim, and all female students at NUS. Disgusting how the top dogs of NUS can't do the right thing! We see increasing incompetence at the top in many of our institutions!
