On October 23th, 2016, an SNS accusing sexual molestation by a professor of Industrial Design Major was posted. As a result of the impact of the SNS, an investigation into this incident was started and most of details were confirmed as facts. However, because there are no precise victims and the person who posted on SNS is anonymous, the school decided to solve problems within the department on its own.
On October 24th, 2016, there was face-to-face talk with the dean and a chief of administration by college student president, the Industrial Design Major and the College of Art & Design trying to solve these problems.
In the field of art, the relationship between students and professors lasts even after graduation and this makes it difficult to solve these problems within the department on its own. Moreover, on October 27th, 2016, a professor’s conference was held where they said “these incidents are going to stop by acquiring a written statement saying that incident like this will not occur in the future” 
As a result, that major resisted the professor’s conference and insisted that it be discussed with all students, confirming additional victims. Furthermore, they accepted the opinions of 
victims stating “because detective punishment takes a lengthy period of time, I don’t want to have the burden about that.” Due to this opinion, the decision to ask for help from the Gender Equality Committee was made as a solution. The reason why they ask for help from the Gender Equality Committee is it is difficult for the suspect to grasp the identity of the applicant and it is necessary to progress towards a disciplinary committee.

<Key reported details regarding sexual molestation>
1.     Professor touched the thigh of a female student in a public space     with many students.
2.     Professor had a dash at putting off the pants within the space of female students.
As a result, the GSA contrived countermeasures through their conferences. First, expanding the employees of the Gender Equality Committee and composing supporters in each college. Investigation of incidents occurring on campus is made at the the Gender Equality Committee. However, there is only one counselor, making it impossible to take actions quickly due to the lack of human strength and time limits. Second, strengthening the punishment of sexual molestation. The level of punishment will be reinforced without distinguishing between professors or students. Therefore, the GSA said this sexual molestation incident of Industrial Design Major will strictly get punished. Third, the establishment of a realistic manual about incidents. Realistic manual means that the manual will be changed to be match situations faster and more accurately after incidents. Moreover, promotion and communication will go side-by-side with everyone. “Except for these countermeasures, we hope to get better solutions through participation of students.” the GSA added.
