Less than 24 hours after the scandal broke, the Beijing Institute of Technology announced on April 20 that the student’s accusations were true.
It dismissed the professor and expelled him from the Communist Party.
The authorities also reported the matter to the higher educational bureau to revoke the academic’s teaching qualification.
The teacher, Gong Lin, 46, was the vice-president of the university’s School of Mechanical Engineering and general manager of the university-affiliated Assets Management company.
