山东大学此前曾深陷留学生“学伴风波”。

The case came amid controversy surrounding the cyber-bullying and harassment of female students at the university, following the news of a "buddy system" which has sparked widespread uproar since July.

山东大学留学生"学伴"计划，2019年7月6日经由网友爆料后，迅速引起热议。导致该校女学生受到网络欺凌和暴力。

In 2018, the university allocated 141 volunteers or "buddies" for 47 international students who were predominantly male to help foreign students adapt more easily to life in China. A rumor later surfaced that the majority of volunteers were female, though the rumor was later denied by the university.

2018年，山东大学为47位以男性为主的留学生分配了141名志愿者或称“学伴”，以帮助外国学生更计划轻松地适应中国的生活。后来有谣言说，大多数志愿者是女性，尽管后来谣传被大学否认。

Critics said the program reflects the stigma and prejudice over gender and race as well as a mindset that foreigners are superior deeply rooted in some Chinese. Female students at the university were attacked online with malicious words as a result of the controversy.

有人批评说，这项计划反映出性别和种族歧视，以及扎根在一些中国人心中，外国人至上的心态。这场“学伴风波”导致该大学的女学生在网上遭到恶意攻击。

事发之后，#万达开除涉事主持人#很快上了热搜。

The topic "Wanda fires host" soon made its way to the hot topic list on Weibo, trending by noon on Friday. The topic has been viewed 160 million times, and netizens appear to support Wanda's decision.

周五中午，#万达开除涉事主持人#这一话题很快上了微博热搜。 截止发稿该话题已被浏览1.6亿次，大部分网友支持万达的决定。

"What the host said was sexual discrimination and sexual harassment, and it insulted all female university students. He deserved to be dismissed," one netizen commented.

一位网友评论说：“主持人说的话是性歧视和性骚扰，侮辱了所有女大学生。他应该被开除。”

Netizens also demanded Shandong University explain its "buddy system" in detail to disperse controversy. The university said in a July post that they would evaluate the system, but no updates have since arisen.

网友还要求山东大学详细解释其“学伴制度”，以消除争议。 该大学在七月份的声明中表示，他们将对“学伴制度”进行评估，但此后再无下文。
