发帖数: 61690 | 1 Emails sent to The Tab reveal how a Princeton professor invited his graduate
student to watch an explicit film with him and then sexually harassed her.
Professor Sergio Verdu, 59, was found responsible by Princeton of harassing
Yeohee Im, a 25-year-old electrical engineering student. HuffPost revealed
the results of Im's Title IX case, and how Princeton did not discipline the
professor – they only made him attend eight hours of counseling.
Im passed emails to The Tab, published below, which show how Verdu invited
her over to watch The Handmaiden – a film Verdu insisted they watch,
despite Im's concerns about its sexual content.
In the last email before she came over, Verdu asked Im to call him Sergio.
A few hours later, Im emailed Verdu to say: "Hello professor, after I came
home I realized I wasn't comfortable with you touching my leg. I consider
our relationship solely as advisor and student and would appreciate if you
do so. I think it would be nice to set some boundaries."
He responded: "OMG Yeohee, needless to say I totally agree about the
boundaries."

The Title IX complaint described what happened when they watched The
Handmaiden together, while Verdu encouraged Im to drink wine, admonishing
her for drinking too slowly:
"During the movie, [Verdu] 'made a joke' about a sex scene in the movie,
saying, 'that was fast,' implying they had sex quickly. While they were
watching the movie, his right arm was “wrapped around [Im's] shoulders,'
such that his armpit was touching her shoulder, with his right hand on her
shoulder. While his arm was around her shoulders, he was 'softly brushing
his hand up and down' on her shoulder, 'like [people] do when they want to
arouse each other.'"
Speaking to The Tab, Im explained:
"In graduate schools, thesis advisors have serious power over advisees, as
they have strong influence on decision of funding, graduation and degree of
students. Especially in Princeton University, graduate students annually
have to be evaluated by re-enrollment process whereby advisors approve
whether students can continue study. Because of this structure, I had to
take up the courage when I had to stand against Sergio Verdu who was my
advisor at that time."
Verdu, who was found responsible in a Title IX investigation, denied there
were any advances or sexual harassment in a statement to HuffPost.
In this society where I have to take a huge risk about my career when I
share misconducts of advisors, I hope my story can be a mental support to
other graduate students who have similar concerns.
Im would later attend a hearing with Princeton's Dean of Faculty Deborah
Prentice, who told her that Verdu's contact "wasn't such that we would
terminate him for it."
A recording that Im passed to The Tab revealed how despite allegations
against Verdu from other students, nobody else came forward. That left
Princeton only able to judge Im's case against him.
"He clearly behaved highly inappropriately, there's no question – and that'
s why there's a penalty," Prentice can be heard saying. "But when you
indicated to him that he was behaving inappropriately, he stopped and took
no further action. Under those circumstances, and given that we were
treating it as a first time offense, it warrants the penalty. It doesn't
warrant his suspension."
"That's very unacceptable and the university has to come out with a better
excuse," Im responded.
Princeton declined to comment but said in sexual misconduct cases, the
university also focuses on providing support to victims to "facilitate their
continued success at the University." | a********r
