Personal details of the Daejeon professor accused of sexual harassment! 8 out of 10 women engage in prostitution, which university, Case Manager
Controversy is mounting over allegations that a professor at a private university in Daejeon made remarks during a lecture to the effect that "eight out of ten women likely earned pocket money through prostitution." Students claim that the professor made not only sexually harassing comments but also verbal abuse, derogatory remarks about students, and political comments unrelated to the class, while the school has stated that it is proceeding with severe disciplinary action.
Since the professor's real name and the exact name of the university have not been officially disclosed to date, it is necessary to avoid making unconfirmed assumptions about their identity.
1. The Daejeon Sexual Harassment Professor Controversy: What Happened?
This controversy began last November when a post taking issue with remarks made by Professor A during a lecture was uploaded to an online community of a private university in Daejeon. According to reports, students claimed that Professor A made sexually harassing remarks about women during class and repeatedly used derogatory language towards a specific group of students. As testimonies of hearing similar remarks followed, it is reported that the students conducted their own survey and compiled some audio recordings.
The remarks taken issue with by the students appear to go beyond the level of mere inappropriate jokes made during class. Comments were cited to the effect that “female students can even resort to prostitution if they are in a hurry” and “eight out of ten women have likely earned pocket money through prostitution,” along with profanity directed at the students and derogatory remarks about provincial universities.
Since there is a difference in authority regarding evaluation and class management between professors and students, if such remarks are true, they could be perceived as greater pressure within the power dynamics of the classroom.
2. Professor's Personal Information and School Response
According to the community, he is Professor Choi 00 of Daejeon University.
It is reported that after conducting an internal survey on the harm caused by the professor's remarks, the students compiled some recordings and testimonies and filed a complaint with the school and the National Human Rights Commission. The school explained that it held a Faculty Ethics Committee meeting last January to deliberate on the matter and requested severe disciplinary action from the school foundation.
However, as of the time of the report, the final disciplinary result has not yet been released.
Another reason the controversy has escalated is the issue of continuing classes. The school explained that it is difficult to completely exclude the professor from lectures as disciplinary results have not yet been released, and that classes have been conducted remotely since March. However, according to a report by the Seoul Shinmun, it was confirmed that the professor in question conducted some lectures in person, citing difficulties in using online platforms. Consequently, students are criticizing the school for its lack of speed in response and insufficient protective measures, stating that they were not separated from the professor even after the issue was raised.
3. What is the key issue of this case?
The core of this case can be summarized into three points.
First is the veracity and repetitiveness of the remarks made during the actual lecture. Given that students have submitted transcripts and surveys, it is crucial how the school and the Human Rights Commission assess the context and severity of the statements.
Second, there is the question of whether the school's student protection measures were sufficient. Controversy continues over whether it was appropriate to allow the student to continue teaching amidst allegations of sexual harassment and verbal abuse.
Third is the transparency of the disciplinary process. Although the school has stated that it requested severe disciplinary action, student distrust is bound to grow if the final level of punishment and the results are not disclosed. In particular, since university classrooms are spaces where students cannot help but be conscious of evaluations and grades, a professor's inappropriate remarks can be treated more seriously than a mere slip of the tongue.
This incident has gone beyond the controversy over a professor's remarks and has become a case that raises questions about how universities will guarantee student rights and a safe learning environment.
