After a doctoral student came forward using her real name to report that she was sexually harassed and forcibly molested by her doctoral advisor at Renmin University of China, the university confirmed the situation on Monday night and terminated the instructor's employment.

According to a release published by the university on Monday night, an investigation found the reported situation to be true. The instructor had seriously abandoned his original mission of teaching and violated the Communist Party of China's disciplinary rules and professional ethics of teachers.



It was decided that the instructor should be expelled from the Party, have his title of professor and his qualifications as a graduate instructor revoked, and have his qualifications as a teacher at Renmin University of China terminated.

The university also reported the case to the higher education administrative department for the revocation of his teaching qualification and provided relevant information to the appropriate authorities in accordance with the law.

According to the video posted by the student, Wang Di, on Sunday, the advisor Wang Guiyuan, who is also a former Party secretary and vice dean of School of Liberal Arts, retaliated against her over the following two years and threatened to prevent her from graduating after she refused his advances on May 21, 2022.

She also showed recordings and chat records as evidence, saying that she is willing to assume legal responsibility, and demanded that the instructor be punished in accordance with the law and replaced by the university.

Beijing police have been informed of the incident and are involved in the investigation in accordance with the law, according to a release published by the Public Security Bureau in Haidian District of Beijing on Monday night.
