NUS said it conducted interviews with the student and Prof Hopf, following which on September 15 he was prohibited from contacting any NUS student. He was later suspended and told to stay off campus while investigations were ongoing, NUS said. As Prof Hopf needed to seek treatment for a serious medical condition, the committee interviewed him later on November 13, said NUS. The committee then submitted its report to NUS on November 18. Following its investigations, it found that during a meeting between Prof Hopf and the student in August, the professor offered the student alcohol and they had a drink together. He admitted to also making an offensive remark about certain parts of the student’s anatomy.

“The committee determined that Prof Hoph had failed to act with propriety, respect, and decorum expected of a staff of the University. He had sexually harassed the student in physical, verbal and written forms. His conduct was a serious breach of the NUS Staff Code of Conduct,” said the university.
