Myeongji University said Friday that the students from the Department of Architecture have put up a poster on the campus to criticize the professor.

The poster claimed that the he has called them “pigs and dogs” and as well as “losers” during classes.

The professor also said, “#MeToo movement is hot these days, but you have to take a look at yourself before blaming others,” according to the poster.

A school official said the school has launched an investigation into the professor while dismissing him from his classes after students filed a petition in late March. “The result is likely to be out next week,” he said.
