A CHINESE University lecturer yesterday demanded an open apology from a student he said had made public attacks on him.
But the student and her classmates running the Student Press, the student union paper which published the remarks, rejected the call, calling on the lecturer to apologise for harassing her.
The university said Vice-Chancellor Professor Charles Kao Kuen was looking into the student's complaint.
The row started in April when a student wrote anonymously to the paper making accusations against Dr Lee Moon-chuen of the Computer Science Department about the way he had handled the course evaluation.
The student accused Dr Lee of intimidating students who were asked to comment on his course. Dr Lee yesterday denied the allegation.
The paper published the responses of Dr Lee and the student in the May issue.
