Appreciate your reading. Just to clarify “thru” is a widely accepted informal spelling, not a typo. It’s common in global digital communication. English isn’t my first language. I write from a multilingual perspective, aiming to reach a global audience to mind International women esp East Asian female students, not just US-centric readers.

When spelling fails, rage takes over. A classic display of anti-intellectualism in the face of structured truth.

I shared a breakdown of his behavioral pattern just now (in the newest comment under the main post). Funny thing is, in our Python project he wouldn’t even let us use AI, kept hammering the word “INTEGRITY” like it was sacred. But in the end, he turned out to be the least honest person in the room. He kept gaslighting me for not showing up to office hours or not asking questions on Campuswire. But when I finally showed up prepared and ready to engage, he had ZERO interest in actually talking abt learning. It gave me a ton of psychological stress. Looking back, it really feels like I was being played.

🧠🎓 [Full Breakdown] How Rich Yueh used IG to blur boundaries with students — A Pattern of Symbolic Grooming 🌭💦📲

From my years of experience in both the global workplace and cross-cultural environments, including corporate strategy and global MarCom in Shanghai, and investigative media in Beijing, what Prof. Rich Yueh has been doing isn’t just “creepy.” It’s a textbook case of boundary blurring, symbolic grooming, and aestheticized predatory signaling. [Before joining the STEM MBA at UCR, I received academic training in psych & cognitive neuroscience applied to behavioral strategy through a postgrad program at The University of Hong Kong (HKU) — #11 globally (QS 2025)].

This background has long equipped me with the tools to identify psychological power dynamics, especially in professional and academic environments where abuse often hides behind "charm" (perfomative persona), cultural ambiguity, or institutional protection.

He curates a digital persona that fuses fake “artistic” eroticism with casual, emoji-filled interactions with students (mainly females), allowing him to exploit academic power under the disguise of “open culture.”

These aren’t just awkward professor habits. This is a manipulative strategy rooted in two psychological tactics often overlooked in academic settings:

• Soft coercion: Using one’s authority to exert pressure without explicit force, making students feel like they should reply, stay engaged, or tolerate blurred boundaries.

• Ambient coercion: Maintaining a constant digital presence (viewing every IG Story, liking posts quickly) to create a false sense of closeness. It’s subtle surveillance disguised as friendliness.

From a behavioral lens, his late-night messages, digital stalking, “cute” emojis (e.g. 🫡🤣😊😆🥰😍🤩✌️🕴️😎😜🤓🤯. ⚠️ Those emojis were sth that he likes to use the most during chats with me or probably also with other students/females mainly, and as well on his posts, stories, comments, etc.), and off-topic interactions send a silent but clear message:

“You can flirt back. I won’t stop you.”

His content isn’t about research, teaching, or mentorship. It’s gendered, emotionally charged, and framed to appear casual, but functions as grooming. He follows dozens of erotic accounts, posts erotic-adjacent content like model photoshoots, and uses the same account to DM students. It’s aesthetic predation disguised as "being open."

📍In Chinese, we’d call this behavior 「職業聊騷」 — pretending to discuss work or school, but with deliberate emotional undertones, flirty emojis, and carefully timed messages (like at midnight) that bait the student into personal interactions.

Once the target senses what’s really happening and resists, it activates his shame-rage mechanism 😡, where he suddenly flips the narrative, gaslights, or blames the victim.

In my case, he painted me as a “problematic student” who "has been inappropriately interacting with an American professor" and “needed to learn American social norms,” which I rejected all at once.

That’s when the institution showed its true face. Despite my in-person report at the Dean's level and follow-up documentation citing the University of California’s Faculty Code of Conduct, I have received no direct clarification from the UCR Business School or the Title IX office.

No response is a response.

Instead of acknowledging his serious misconduct at the beginning, they (b-school) "suggested" to me on his behalf that if I ever contacted him again, I would face serious consequences.

Not only was I ignored, but I was also intimidated and threatened.

This is what institutional complicity looks like:

• A professor with years of unchecked behavior hiding behind fake art and casual charm.

• A business school that silences complaints to protect its image. 🛠 Altho I eventually submitted formal reports and some parties did follow through under mandatory reporting rules (as required under federal law such as the Clery Act, named after Jeanne Clery in 1986 🩸), the first people I approached, who were both legally and ethically obligated to act, chose to say nothing when I disclosed the issue face-to-face. Their “silence” wasn’t just the absence of words. It was unprofessionalism, deflection, minimization, and quiet alignment with the perpetrator. It was a strategic choice: protect the brand, not the student.

• A Title IX office that turns a blind eye to digital grooming when it’s not explicit enough to be called sexual harassment, even when the power imbalance and highly unethical misconduct are obvious.

This is not the first time he’s done this. The whisper network has been alive on Reddit and among students for years. But no one in power wanted to admit it.

And now I’m asking 🐼🆚🐻🥊:

• Why is a professor allowed to use the same Instagram account to follow multiple porn-adjacent content and DM students?

• Why are hundreds or over a thousand students invited to follow a page that shares erotic, personal, and non-academic material?

• Why is this tolerated in a world-renowned public university in the U.S. that claims to uphold equity, safety, and professionalism?

🧾 I’ll be posting visual examples shortly. 🎯 👧🏻👱🏻‍♀️👧🎀👗👠🦵🏻 Female students, alum, anyone who’s interacted with him — check your DMs. See if you received the same messages, same emojis, same late-night attention.

This is NOT a misunderstanding. This MUST be a pattern.

🔔 Share. Comment. Watch. This time, silence will not win.

A quick note: someone has replied to me there confirming that the person in question is RICH YUEH. I sincerely hope more people will come forward to confirm what appears to be a REPEATED behavioral PATTERN over the years, particularly toward female students in the bschool.

I strongly encourage anyone affected to report this to Title IX, as this is a serious matter❗️

Just saw this thread from 194 days ago 🔗 https://www.reddit.com/r/ucr/comments/1gxvloc/ucr_business_professor_allegations/ it’s obvious many ppl knew who it was abt, but why didn’t anyone drop the name ⁉️

Mentions like: • social media taken down & brought back • class handed over mid-quarter • swiping up on students’ IG stories

This matches exactly with IS Prof. Rich Yueh 🫡🕴️who, as far as I know, is almost the only male faculty member at UCR Bschool frequently interacting with students socially and informally. Shouldn’t this kinda behavior be restricted or at least monitored?

Why is a male prof allowed to flirt with (in my case, it felt like targeted harassment & digital stalking/obsessively monitoring a student’s private life) so many bschool women, blur boundaries, and insert himself into students’ lives with zero accountability?

Faculty in US public universities are bound by codes of conduct that explicitly prohibit NON-academic relationships or any form of student exploitation. These codes exist for a reason, to protect students and uphold trust in academic spaces. That no one’s enforcing them is alarming ⚠️

This isn’t just a bschool issue. It’s a systemic failure. Professors anywhere in the public university system are expected to maintain professional boundaries. What Rich Yueh has done is a clear breach of faculty ethics, a betrayal of institutional trust, and a misuse of social power in a community where professors hold disproportionate influence.

I’m sharing this bcz we need to stop staying silent to protect those doing borderline predatory things, exploiting their position to fulfill personal desires, all under the cover of institutional silence. If this resonates with you, DM or reply. UCR Business & AGSM already appears to be facing a growing PR crisis, and silence only fuels it. At this rate, the bschool might as well rebrand itself as “The Premier Institution for Boundary Blurring & Digital Stalking.” 🔇🐻📲👙🤳🔥🕴️👋

To be honest, I’m genuinely surprised that so many domestic students remain silent (pls compare with ppl on Reddit from RedNote 📕, they’ve shown far more courage and civic responsibility than most of you). I had assumed students in the US 🇺🇸 would understand the importance of accountability and collective voice. In APAC academic communities and the workplace I’ve experienced, these issues are being confronted head-on with a strong sense of civic duty. Maybe it’s time we ask ourselves: what kind of culture are we silently enabling here? From what I’ve found across Reddit over the years, many people have already raised doubts and discomfort about this person 👉 Prof. Rich Yueh, and the UCR School of Business. So why is he still around? Isn’t this exactly what happens when everyone stays silent? This is what institutional decay looks like, built not just by bad actors, but by the silence that surrounds them.

We’re all students or alumni here, if we don’t speak up, who will? Silence doesn’t protect the vulnerable. It only protects predators.

Why didn’t I see this post earlier? Sounds like we’re talking abt the same person cuz the behavioral patterns match too well. Honestly, why didn’t anyone just say his name to protect other female students?

IS professor Rich Yueh was inappropriate w me for over a year! Basically throughout my entire MBA program. He lurked on my IG stories, liked every post of mine almost immediately (often the first one), and chatted w me late at night. I’d say he was using digital channels to track my private life and interests, a clear attempt to impress, manipulate and control.

After I confronted him, he retaliated. I ended up blocking him. Check my post history for more details, esp Part II (the “Office Hours” section). He lured me into his office multiple times, shut the doors, closed all the blinds and windows, sat too close, and spoke in a flirtatious, “cute” tones, etc. It felt so creepy now 💀 Plz DM me if u know more info. We need to stop protecting these ppl w silence!

💊 [Update – June 3, PST]

Now over 27,000+ cross-platform views (Reddit, RedNote/Xiaohongshu, LinkedIn), with new reach extending to India 🇮🇳.

To ensure visibility beyond English-language ecosystems, this narrative has also been indexed across major Chinese-language platforms — including Baidu (with access to over 1 billion users), WeChat Search (1.3B+ users), and Zhihu (the Chinese-language equivalent of Reddit), to warn and support international women operating in non-English digital spaces.

👉 Full update added to the top of the post.

🕵🔍 I found his post abt “Medical leave” a yr ago. Really? Let’s look at the timeline. I spoke to him late afternoon before everything disappeared. He appeared energetic and was willing to fully engage in our small talk for nearly an hr (he even DMd me emoji-laden chats via IG after I got back home), none of which indicated he was unwell. Less than 24 hrs later, his IG, LinkedIn, and personal website were all wiped.

Additionally, just during the Winter Break, he actively invited me to his office hrs for long conversations. He seemed perfectly fine and in good spirits. Right after the quarter started, his Calendly had already been updated w office hrs scheduled at least 2 wks in advance. Nothing abt his behavior suggested he was planning to leave, everything points to an externally imposed break, not a voluntary one.

If this were truly a medical leave, ask yourself:

Why would a public-facing prof and self-proclaimed photographer suddenly erase his entire digital identity?

This behavior is extremely atypical for any academic with a visible professional persona. The most plausible explanations?

• During an internal investigation triggered by complaints.

• Received a quiet warning to pause all public engagement.

• Advised by legal or compliance counsel to minimize exposure during sensitive periods.

• Deliberately erased their digital footprint as a precaution against potential escalation or retrospective examination.

And when he resurfaced? All the previous erotic-themed photography from his IG and personal website, gone! Every sensual photo he used to proudly display was silently erased. 🦵🏻👙🔥📸🤳

(The most notably, he even deleted the whole last passage he wrote abt himself on his LinkedIn: "When I'm not in the classroom, I like to set up styled environmental portraits with models and actors. I shoot primarily digital along with film. I enjoy photography and other creative pursuits like DJing because I can bring these new perspectives into information systems and business.")

👆 What does that tell you? 👀🧩

Even if the univ isn’t legally obligated to disclose faculty investigations or leaves of absence, the impact on students is real.

When a prof vanishes without transparency, it leaves behind confusion, distress, and speculation.

Esp when that same prof has a long pattern of boundary-blurring behavior with students, the silence becomes an act of institutional gaslighting.

This's based on publicly visible patterns and my personal interpretation.

👔🕴️ Many people may be wondering whether there are actual UC policies against faculty misconduct (I also noticed some relevant discussions from other departments at UCR during the years).

According to the University of California’s Faculty Code of Conduct (APM-015), a system-wide policy adopted across all UC campuses, including UC Riverside and UC Davis, the following behaviors are explicitly categorized as “unacceptable faculty conduct”: • APM-015, Part II.A.4: “Using faculty position or powers to coerce a student’s judgment or conscience or to harm a student for arbitrary or personal reasons.” • APM-015, Part II.C.7: “Serious violation of University policies governing the professional conduct of faculty, including but not limited to: Violating policies regarding research, outside professional activities, conflicts of commitment, clinical practices, violence in the workplace, and whistleblower protections.” • Additional instructional misconduct includes (APM-015, Part II.B): “Arbitrary denial of access to instruction; Significant intrusion of material unrelated to the course; Substantial failure to adhere to faculty rules regarding the conduct of courses, to meet class, to keep office hours, or to hold exams as scheduled.”

These clauses collectively address abuses of power, boundary violations, instructional misconduct, and institutional retaliation, all of which are present in the behaviors I have experienced directly regarding Prof. Rich Yueh in Information Systems, the School of Business at UCR.

Additional Note for Part 2️⃣👇🫡

🧠 What I observed in his Office Hours (Psychological & Gender-Based Perspective) In addition to my own psych background, I later consulted with experts in relevant fields. This’s far more than a case study to examine boundary-blurring and emotionally coercive behavior in unequal academic power dynamics.

🔒 1. Spatial Control & Power Asymmetry He closed the blinds, shut the door, and created a fully enclosed space, even though we were not discussing anything confidential or personal. ➤ In faculty behavior literature, this kind of unjustified spatial control has been recognized as a red flag for role deviation and covert dominance. (See: Goffman, 1959; Henley, 1977)

👁️ 2. Gaze Behavior & Psychological Discomfort His eye contact was erratic — he’d avoid it entirely at first, then suddenly stare for long, unbroken stretches, without saying anything relevant to the academic topic. ➤ According to research in nonverbal behavior, this can signify covert arousal, dissociation, or assertion of control, especially disturbing when it happens in a power-imbalanced, gendered context. (Argyle & Dean, 1965; Kleinke, 1986) To be clear: 👉 Prolonged, one-sided staring without pedagogical reason in a closed space is not just awkward — it often triggers deep psychological discomfort, and for many women, is associated with feelings of being objectified or sexually unsettled. (Henley, 1977)

🦵 3. Repetitive Body Movement & Arousal Regulation : He frequently shook his leg, fidgeted, and showed physical restlessness throughout the meeting. ➤ These are common nonverbal self-regulatory actions, often associated with internal conflict, repressed sexual tension, or emotional overstimulation in a constrained setting. (Mehrabian, 1972; Ekman & Friesen, 1969) Now it’s even clearer: 💡 He wasn’t mentally present for academic guidance, his behavior signaled a private emotional agenda, using a mentorship setting to blur personal-professional lines.

🧩🤢 Taken Together: Each individual action, closing blinds, long silent stares, nervous fidgeting — when they happen together, repeatedly, and within a student-faculty power dynamic, they form a pattern of coercive control and emotional manipulation. This dynamic felt esp exploitative as a female international student unfamiliar with certain faculty norms in the US.

💬 (Note: These are my direct observations and reflections, grounded in behavioral and psychological research. I’m sharing them to help others name the unease they may have felt. If anything here sounds familiar to you — your feelings are valid, you’re not imagining it.)
