A female student at Nagoya University of Arts in Kitanagoya City, Aichi Prefecture, held a press conference alleging that she had been sexually harassed by the president of the university. In August last year, Naohiko Kizumi, who was a part-time lecturer at the time and was appointed president this month, visited the musical rehearsal room and patted six female students on the backs and heads.

He is said to have engaged in acts of sexual harassment, such as getting his face close to hers and saying things like, ''You have good visuals.''
