Kyungpook National University student council chat sexual harassment controversy leads to resignations

Student council officers in a department at Kyungpook National University resigned after it emerged that they had made sexually harassing remarks about female students in the same department in an online group chat. According to the university on May 11, the disputed conversation took place in a KakaoTalk group chat. The case drew controversy on campus because members of a student self-governing body made inappropriate comments targeting fellow department members. As criticism grew, the officers involved stepped down, and questions are expected to continue over student council conduct and ethics in online group chats. Source: mk.co.kr
