UM Feminism Club (UMFC) said one of the victims had submitted key evidence to UM’s integrity unit and was assured that legal procedures would follow, but that no public update on the investigation’s progress has been issued.

“UMFC has been in contact with the survivor, who, despite concerns about internal reporting mechanisms, has cooperated with the investigation.

“While an investigation committee was reportedly formed, the process has been slow and opaque,” it said in a statement today.

The club said the lack of transparency could undermine confidence in the university’s commitment to campus safety and raise questions about student protection and addressing sexual misconduct.

“Timely and transparent action is essential for safeguarding survivors’ rights and fostering a campus environment free from sexual harassment,” it added.

In April, the student union also urged UM to disclose the outcome of the case, noting that it had received no updates since a meeting with the university’s integrity unit on Dec 27, shortly after the professor was suspended.

University students and civil society had called for the immediate suspension of the professor, a thorough investigation of the allegations, and reforms to UM’s sexual harassment policies.
