Company breaks ties with NUS as fallout over university’s response to ‘peeping tom’ scandal continues.

The outrage over the National University of Singapore’s response to a “peeping tom” incident involving one of their male students being caught filming a female student in a dorm room shower shows no signs of abatement, with one business publicly denouncing the school’s administration in harsh terms and promising to cut off all ties with NUS until the offending student is expelled.

This is a for-profit entity that’s made the monumentally stupid decision to compromise it’s product and the clients who paid good money for the product, for absolutely no reason, by allowing a criminal to continue to use it’s facilities. The victim in the case — Monica Baey, a third-year communications major at the university — bravely opened up about the incident on Instagram on Friday in order to call out NUS for their response to the crime.

In her Instagram posts, Baey asked that NUS implement clearer campus policies to protect students against sexual misconduct, including stricter punishments, more transparency in how cases are handled, and more education for students on sexual harassment and respectful relationships. She also asked that NUS provide better support for victims of sexual harassment, including setting up a one-stop office providing free services for sexual misconduct victims.

The mindset of the management team is clearly archaic. I feel bad for the victim, and all female students at NUS. Disgusting how the top dogs of NUS can't do the right thing! We see increasing incompetence at the top in many of our institutions!

Absolutely. NUS only gives chance to offenders but who is to give chance to the victims who may suffer for life? It is no wonder there re many cases in NUS. NUS be responsible n put a stop to this! As was the punishment meted out by the Court. I'm seriously more concerned abt AGD's handling of the case than I am with NUS. The culprit will get away scot free if he does not get caught for the same crime within a year. How is that justice? Petty thieves get harsher penalties!! NUSingapore hv school of law or sumting rite? So all the textbooks, tests, thesis end up in the dean's ass? Hope this blot on such a 'prestigious' tertiary institution b impossible to erase so tat all parties concerned b shamed for being utterly useless!
