This announcement will be deemed to have been served after 60 days from the date of issuance.

According to Article 19, Paragraph 6 of the “Regulations on Disciplinary Punishment for Students of Dalian University of Technology”, if one has improper contact with foreigners and damages the national dignity and reputation of the school, he shall be punished with a demerit or above depending on the circumstances.
It is understood that Zeus, born in 1987, is a retired professional e-sports player from Ukraine and is married. It is rumored that he exposed a video in his fan group in December 2024, saying that he had sex with a Chinese girl. It is rumored that the girl is a student at Dalian University of Technology. On July 13, a reporter from Xiaoxiang Morning News contacted Dalian University of Technology, but the call was not connected before the time of publication.
Fu Jian, director of Henan Zejin Law Firm, a well-known lawyer, told reporters that he believes that according to the “Regulations on the Management of Students in Ordinary Colleges and Universities”, the school has the right to formulate its own student management regulations and regulate and manage students’ behavior to maintain the normal education and teaching order and life order of the school. However, the focus of the controversy in this incident is first: whether the school should or has the right to evaluate students’ private lives, especially when students’ behavior does not violate laws and regulations and only involves moral aspects, how to define the school’s management authority and scope. Second: Is the degree of punishment appropriate? Although the girl’s behavior was inappropriate, it was in the realm of her private life. Is it too harsh to raise the issue of personal morality to the level of expulsion? Third: In this incident, the foreign e-sports player Zeus’s behavior of publicly showing off intimate photos was suspected of invading the privacy of others and spreading obscene content, but he did not receive any legal or disciplinary punishment, while the Chinese female student had to face the serious consequence of being expelled from school.
