Take misconduct seriously, authorities urge universities

Hong Kong Chief Executive John Lee has urged universities to handle student misconduct “seriously”, after a male student allegedly created AI-generated indecent images of more than 20 women, reports Hans Tse for HKFP.

Universities shoulder the responsibility of developing students’ moral character, and any misconduct that infringes on individual rights and privacy should be dealt with seriously, Lee said at a weekly press conference on Tuesday. “While some misconduct may be dealt with under internal university rules, any act that may contravene the law should be reported to law enforcement agencies for action,” the chief executive said.

Lee’s remarks come after a male law student at the University of Hong Kong (HKU) was accused of creating pornographic images of around 20 to 30 women, including his classmates and teachers, without their consent.
