The letter also calls for his assistant dean duties to be suspended and for his permanent replacement to be considered, as well as stronger vetting procedures for guest speakers. Chong later posted an apology on Facebook, while the Chinese University said New Asia College had reminded him to be mindful of his wording and others' feelings.
