In her book ‘Academic Coziness’ Hilde Van Liefferinge tells about an incident that occurred with her promoter, when she worked as an assistant on her doctorate. In her book, Van Lieferinge describes an incident that starts as a hug, but soon turns into a holding line and then turns into far -reaching undesirable intimacy.
According to Humo, it is about the Izegem professor Carl Devos of the political sciences department. Devos is now going to court because the book suggests cross -border behavior. However, he is not mentioned by name in the book, but many elements point in his direction. Lawyer Sanne De Clerck states that Devos’ reputation is “damaged in a far -reaching and unacceptable way”.
“We take legal action against the book. This is a matter of Eerroof. We will have the debate where it belongs: in court,” it sounds.
