[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Ju Cheol-in] A male professor in his 50s who sexually harassed a nurse in her 20s working at a university hospital by calling her to his laboratory has been dismissed.

Gyeongsang National University announced on the 25th that Professor A, who physically and verbally sexually harassed the nurse, has been dismissed.

Professor A, who held a concurrent position at Changwon Gyeongsang National University Hospital, called the nurse to his laboratory around 9:30 PM on December 31 last year while on duty and attempted physical contact, saying, "I am lonely, please stay with me."

This fact became known when the victim nurse filed a grievance report with the hospital. Professor A admitted to some of the sexual harassment, although he claimed he did not remember clearly due to being intoxicated at the time.

The hospital suspended the professor from his position and referred the case to the university, which holds personnel authority, requesting disciplinary action.

Gyeongsang National University dismissed Professor A based on violations of maintaining dignity related to physical and verbal sexual harassment and breach of duty of sincerity while working under the influence of alcohol.

Accordingly, Professor A will be restricted from reappointment as a professor for the next five years and will face penalties including a 50% reduction in retirement pay and allowances.
