During the next session, Zhang reportedly told the class:"I don't know how it happened. I didn't see it, I'm pretty sure everybody else did... My apologies to the class." He is said to have then sent out an email to the students saying he was"investigating" and encouraged them not to share the video.
According to The Hurricane,"at least one more" class went by normally, however, when it was time for another session, Zhang was absent. The students in the Zoom session were left without a professor for about 20 minutes until they received an email from UM's business analytics department chair Robert Plant, who told them class was canceled.
Zhang, Plant and vice dean for undergraduate business education Ann Olazabal declined to speak to the press, including The Hurricane. The course's new professors Gery Perez and Maikel Espinosa -- who the newspaper said"changed the class from Zoom to Blackboard Ultra with little notice" -- also didn't comment.
While many students voiced their concern about Zhang's well-being, others said the professor's X-rated bookmark made them feel uncomfortable."The University of Miami aggressively investigates all complaints of inappropriate behavior or sexual harassment," the institution told The Hurricane.
