NUS takes disciplinary action against sex blogger
04:45 AM Nov 08, 2012
SINGAPORE - The National University of Singapore (NUS) said yesterday it is taking disciplinary action against law scholar and sex blogger Alvin Tan Jye Yee, but did not specify the nature of the punishment.
In a statement to the media, the university said its Board of Discipline (BOD) had reviewed the matter and "concluded that Alvin's inappropriate conduct was detrimental to the reputation and dignity of the university".
"After considering the seriousness of the offence, Alvin's account presented to the BOD and all mitigating factors, the BOD had decided on the disciplinary actions to be taken," said the NUS, describing Mr Tan's posts as "offensive". He has been informed about the decision, it added.
Pressed on the nature of the punishment, NUS said: "All matters relating to NUS disciplinary proceedings are confidential."
Attempts to reach Mr Tan were unsuccessful as his mobile phone was switched off.
Last month, Mr Tan and his girlfriend made headlines after they posted explicit videos and pictures of themselves on his blog. Last week, he met the BOD and apologised for affecting the university's reputation.
In March, Mr Sun Xu, an undergraduate scholarship holder from China who made derogatory comments about Singapore, was fined S$3,000 by the board, reprimanded and ordered to perform three months of community service before he was allowed to graduate.
The decision was disseminated in a university circular.
