It was confirmed today (2nd) that a professor at a national university in Gyeongnam, who was suspected of habitually sexually harassing and molesting students, was eventually fired.
The school recently held a disciplinary committee and decided to dismiss the professor.
In the KakaoTalk message sent by the dismissed professor A to the students, 'I dreamed of a professor yesterday, Yes or No?', 'I want to dream in the future Yes or No?', 'I will think about it after seeing a lovely figure', and 'Dream Professor,' etc. contained.
So far, there are only seven students who have specifically stated to the school that they have suffered this way, and the total number of victims is expected to increase if you consider other victims who have not been revealed.
The victims said that Professor A had made unnecessary physical contact, such as touching his knee, stroking his head, holding his hand, or continuing to high-five.
In addition, there have been cases of people asking personal stories or making physical contact by encouraging them to meet as bait for employment.
The school explained that after the initial report was received, even after warning Professor A to be careful, the same thing continued to happen and it was determined that he was responsible for gross negligence.
A university official said, "The disciplinary committee members saw the degree of misconduct and made a decision that the dismissal was appropriate according to the disciplinary action.
