Tokyo Keizai University said it has taken measures following an incident in June in which a Japanese male student was accused of sexually harassing female South Korean students on campus.
"We have tried to deal with the incident openly by reporting the details in school papers and informing the students," Yuzo Itagaki, dean of the university's Department of Communication Studies, said in a recent news conference at the Education Ministry, adding that students are no longer worried about the campus situation.
According to Itagaki, a freshman apparently made sexually suggestive remarks to three female South Korean students who were leaving a classroom at the university's Kokubunji campus June 13. When they told him to apologize, he made fun of their Japanese language ability and said he couldn't understand what they were saying.
