Wuhan University Launches Review Panel After Court Dismisses Sexual Harassment Case

From: ChatGPT

Wuhan University has set up a special working group to reassess its disciplinary decision in a high-profile sexual harassment case, following a recent court ruling that dismissed all claims against the accused student.

The case, which began in July 2023, drew national attention when a female student surnamed Yang alleged online that she was sexually harassed by a male student, Xiao, in the university library. She claimed Xiao sat across from her and repeatedly touched himself inappropriately through his pants.

The post quickly went viral, sparking widespread condemnation. Within two days, the university issued a demerit against Xiao, citing a zero-tolerance policy toward misconduct.

However, Xiao's family later contested the decision, presenting medical records indicating he had a history of severe eczema, including flare-ups during the alleged incident. Mental health evaluations showed he developed acute stress following the accusation.

In June 2024, Yang filed a civil lawsuit against Xiao, but on July 25, 2025, a Wuhan court ruled in Xiao's favor. The court found no evidence of sexually explicit behavior, noting the incident occurred in a public space and that scratching due to a skin condition was a plausible explanation.

The ruling reignited online debate. Critics questioned the university's disciplinary process and raised concerns about Yang's academic integrity after inconsistencies were found in her thesis. Yang, now pursuing a PhD at Hong Kong Baptist University, stated online that she would continue to file complaints against Xiao, triggering further backlash.

In response to mounting public pressure, the university announced it would re-evaluate both the disciplinary action against Xiao and academic concerns related to Yang. President Zhang Pingwen told Economic Observer that the university will act according to guidance from higher authorities.

The university reiterated its commitment to protecting students' rights and acknowledged public concern over how allegations of misconduct are handled in higher education.
