The 24-year-old female student said:"There is little transparency in how they had assessed the situation to come to that conclusion. But a first-year male student from Nanyang Technological University said:"I feel the warning given by the police after the offender showed remorse is okay as it is a lesson for him, a chance to improve himself and reflect on what he had done."Ms Dora Oh, 20, a first-year student at the National Institute of Education, said that NUS' policy of"second strike and you are out" for sexual misconduct cases was inadequate.
