Student representatives of the College of English (CE) are currently in a process of figuring out details regarding sexual harassment issues at their college.

There was an unidentified online post on March 18 through the HUFS Bamboo Forest Facebook page saying that a considerable number of female students had been appalled by the regular sexual harassment received by CE students via Kakao Talk.

This issue was discussed at the annual student meeting on March 23. Following this meeting, two separate departmental professor meetings occurred on March 24 and 27 to further discuss the matter.

To resolve some of the damage, Lee Jae-chan, the student president of Dept.  of English Literature and Culture Studies, who was deeply involved in this issue, resigned from his position on March 30. HUFS is now on its way to reach a decision on this matter.

Jeong Im-yong, chief of the electoral council for re-election of CE representatives said, “We, those in charge of the CE are attentive to this issue, are ready to deal with anything that might happen and are cooperating with the university.”
