SINGAPORE - The Singapore Management University has reassured students and staff that it is reviewing its own disciplinary processes related to sexual misconduct.
Her remarks come even as the National University of Singapore is being criticised by members of the public and students for not handling a recent case of sexual misconduct well. The committee will study the approaches taken by other international institutions, solicit views from various stakeholders, and share its findings and follow-up actions in the new academic year, which begins in August.
SMU also provides counselling support, she added, either by counsellors at the Mrs Wong Kok Leong Student Wellness Centre at SMU or by external psychologists or psychiatrists.

Why must NUS take a U-Turn in their action after Minister's intervention? NUS should not be cowed by third parties' remarks and stand by their decision. It is an internal matter within the campus and the Police already meted out the punishment. The case should be closed.

As was the punishment meted out by the Court. I'm seriously more concerned abt AGD's handling of the case than I am with NUS. The culprit will get away scot free if he does not get caught for the same crime within a year. How is that justice? Petty thieves get harsher penalties!! NUSingapore hv school of law or sumting rite? So all the textbooks, tests, thesis end up in the dean's ass? Hope this blot on such a 'prestigious' tertiary institution b impossible to erase so tat all parties concerned b shamed for being utterly useless!
