Students at the National University of Singapore (NUS) could face tougher enforcement for drinking alcohol in campus housing as part of efforts to curb sexual offences linked to alcohol consumption. This comes after seven out of eight complaints of student sexual misconduct...

According to a code of student conduct uploaded on the NUS website in January, drinking alcohol is banned in the university except at designated campus food and beverage outlets during specified operating hours or at official university events where alcohol is served. The document said NUS can take disciplinary action against any violation of this code of conduct.

The report said the staff member was reported to the school on Aug 3 last year. The individual was suspended from duty on half-pay and was issued a no-contact order by NUS. A police report was also made. The second of the expelled students had allegedly touched multiple individuals inappropriately without consent while at a hostel, in the complaint made on Aug 18.

The student has also been barred from the NUS campus during the period of suspension and will also be barred from on-campus housing premises until he graduates.
