NYU prof alleges Shanghai campus students are committing suicide over COVID lockdownBy Jon Levine
April 30, 2022
New York University students in Shanghai have been committing suicide amid lockdown despair, while the school has sought to cover it up, NYU Chinese studies professor Rebecca Karl wrote in an explosive allegation to fellow faculty in an April 25 email.
“I have heard that there have been several suicides among the students already, all of it swept under the rug for the sake of NYU’s reputational convenience. Students are suffering. Many faculty are as well,” Karl wrote in the email, which was obtained by The Post.
NYU denied there have been any lockdown-related suicides.
“It is very disappointing, to say the very least, to see a University faculty member traffic in misleading gossip about something so serious,” said university spokesman John Beckman.
