The next day, I checked the schools official page and they had made a post last night berating students for speaking without concrete evidence. Professor Wang apologized for his actions that may have caused the students to misunderstand. And all the accounts that made hateful comments were banned for a month.
I replied Wang Muchen's message asking if I was satisfied and kept scrolling the forum. I still had to take Professor Wang's classes today and I wasn't looking forward to it.
The school's official statement might have cleared my name, but the whole situation still left a bad taste in my mouth. As I scrolled through the university page, the words from the post rang hollow in my mind. Sure, Professor Wang had apologized, and the students who stirred the pot were temporarily banned, but it didn't change the fact that the damage had already been done.
