Berklee College of Music Students Warn School Isn’t Doing Enough to Protect Chinese Community

Friends of a woman stalked by a Chinese student at Boston’s Berklee College of Music last fall say the school failed to protect her. While the Justice Department has brought a case against the suspect, the school itself has yet to take serious action to specifically address pro–Chinese Communist Party harassment on campus, the victim’s friends told National Review.

“She’s very hurt and very disappointed by the way that Berklee has been handling it,” said one of the friends. NR granted them anonymity to discuss the victim’s perspective, considering the Chinese government’s intensifying surveillance and harassment of Chinese students in the U.S. The victim is a Chinese national who graduated from Berklee five months before the stalking took place.
