“And he responded laughing hysterically, because he had power, and this was his game.” Jacobs School of Music student Bryan Bailey in a report detailing David Jang’s reponse when Bailey pushed him away after unwanted touching
A graduate student was suspended after allegations of sexual misconduct. Students say they felt he held his power over their heads. By Lydia Gerike lgerike@iu.edu | @lydiagerike
D
avid Jang, a graduate conducting student, was suspended from IU for a year in February after students accused him of abuses of power, including sexual misconduct toward male students. Jang, who is 25 according to his Facebook page, managed the Jacobs School of Music’s paid Conductors Orchestra and also conducted the all-campus string orchestra, a class for non-music majors. More than 20 people filed misconduct reports against Jang through the Office of Student Conduct, students said. Some students allege they either witnessed or experienced Jang touch, grope or kiss male students without their consent. Before the allegations were reported, as rumors of Jang’s inappropriate actions began to spread, students say they became an open secret. Ten students talked to the Indiana Daily Student for different aspects of this article, including some who asked not to be named for fear of retaliation from Jang or the music world. About a dozen people testified in person against Jang at a Feb. 22 misconduct hearing, students who were there estimate. Some testified over the phone if they were at auditions or had already graduated. Records regarding Jang’s alleged misconduct are kept private, according to university policy. Third parties such as the IDS do not have access to IU student disciplinary records. The Office of Student Conduct filed three reports with the IU Police Department that included allegations of stalking, battery and on-campus harassment. IUPD issued Jang a trespass warning, barring him from any IU property statewide from Feb. 1, 2019, through Feb. 1, 2020. The trespass warning report also confirms he was suspended. Jang’s Facebook says he started at IU in 2015. He is not currently a student, IU spokesperson Chuck Carney said. Jang is listed in the IU Directory as “Former Employee, Student.” Paul Newman, professor emeritus and Jang’s faculty adviser who
was at the hearing, said during an interview Tuesday he doesn’t know whether or not the claims against Jang are true because he wasn’t there to witness any of them. However, Newman said Jang didn’t have the power students claim he did, and those who came forward did so possibly because they were jealous of Jang’s talent. To Newman, it seemed IU had already decided Jang had committed the alleged offenses before a hearing could even take place because he was given a summary suspension. A summary suspension allows IU to remove a student from campus without following normal misconduct procedures if they decide the student is a “serious threat” to IU-related people or property. “He was suspended because he was a danger to the IU community, and that seems ludicrous,” Newman said. Newman said Jang filed a written appeal after his suspension was upheld following the hearing, which IU policy says is standard appeal procedure. The appeal was rejected by the Provost. Jang, through Newman, declined to be interviewed for this story. * * * The classical music world is small and competitive. Students said recommendations and job prospects sometimes rely on relationships with others who can vouch for them. This makes it easy for those in power to manipulate others, students said, and Jang’s friendship and connections felt like they could make or break a career. Jang also had money and social influence, the students said. They noticed his nice clothes, and he drove a BMW with the license plate “JANGBUS.” Public records indicate he is from California. In the summers, he would travel to music festivals to hang out with other talented, connected musicians. Students said Jang would throw and attend parties where the flow of alcohol never seemed to end. There, many said they witnessed him touching people
whose consent was questionable, and Jang would sometimes later blame the alcohol for his actions. Jang used his power to take advantage of undergraduates who were scared of Jang and didn’t know how to make him stop, they said. For years, they stayed quiet, partly out of fear that Jang could ruin their careers both at the university and in the professional world. Students told the IDS they are speaking out now because they are concerned Jang could continue to abuse power or harm other musicians if he were offered a position somewhere else. They believe music school faculty remained largely unaware of the situation and at least some still don’t know what happened. IU policy states that under the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act, faculty must have a “legitimate educational interest” in a student to have access to any official information. Other people who were contacted through friends or directly by the IDS said they did not want to talk for fear Jang would sue them, harass them or keep them from getting jobs. They also said they are afraid others in the music industry will blacklist them or pinpoint them as troublemakers. Fresh in the institutional memory of the music school is another high-profile case in which a ballet lecturer, Guoping Wang, was arrested for the sexual assault of a dancer. He pleaded guilty to a lesser charge in 2017 and is serving probation. In that case, the dancer waited until after “The Nutcracker” performances were over to report the assault, highlighting a complicated intersection of performance, academics, collaboration, image and power. Instrumentalists face similar complexities. But those who have come forward about Jang said telling their stories is long past due. * * * Bryan Bailey, a senior double bass performance major, testified before a panel as part of the sexual misconduct hearing process about Jang’s alleged unwanted touching.

Lucky Seven Where student drivers of expensive cars fit in rather than stand out By Yue Sun sun12@iu.edu
T
he shiny white BMW i8 slid into the parking lot in front of the Thai restaurant. The driver’s door flew up and a young man stepped out in fitted black pants and leather jacket, his dark hair slicked up. Longjie Lin, a 20-yearold sophomore at IU from Wenzhou, China, came to have a quick bite before his meeting with members of Lucky Seven, the luxury car club he founded six months ago. “Look at that high-end BMW,” a passerby said, voice tinged with subtle bitterness. Lin was out of earshot for those comments. But he wouldn’t care even if he heard them. In this small Midwestern city, such uninvited attention to Lin and his luxurious sports car is almost guaranteed. He is used to it. In Lucky Seven, more than 30 members — mostly Chinese with a couple American students — drive a nice or nicely modified car. As the founder, Lin recruited all members by himself. The process was exclusive and by invitation only.
“We don’t want others to think that we are just a group of people showing off.” Longjie Lin, sophomore
“We don’t want others to think that we are just a group of people showing off,” he said. “But there are some unspoken requirements. You’ll either have to be able to afford a nice car or really know and love your car to have made nice modifications to it.” It doesn’t matter how much the car costs, Lin said. Passion is the key. “We don’t want people who are just rich enough to afford a nice car,” he said. There are three BWM i8s in the club, including Lin’s. Members affectionately call them butterflies because their flip-up doors resemble wings. One of them cost $160,000, one of the club’s most expensive. An average family in Bloomington

would have to save for more than three years without any expenses to afford a brand-new BMW i8. While many students are burdened with immense student loans and juggling multiple jobs to afford rent and car payments, they can’t help but wonder about these BMWs, MercedesBenzes, Lamborghinis, Corvettes, Porsches. These cars, sometimes worth more than enough to pay for their college educations — who drives them? Lin and his friends account for the lion’s share on campus. People say the students who drive these cars are stuck-up rich kids and must be using daddy’s money, IU freshman Justin Duckett said. He takes photos for the club periodically and has befriended the members. But the cars are more than a status symbol for the club members. They are a distraction from the boredom in Bloomington and a way to meet like-minded people. When it comes to stares or snarky remarks, their motto is simple: Haters gonna hate. That never stops them from going about their lives on luxurious wheels.
* * * IU freshman Hao Yu joined Lucky Seven two months ago. He drives a used Mercedes-Benz CClass. It’s less expensive compared to other cars in the club, but still beyond most college students’ price point. Yu said he knows the negative images linked to them — somepeople just hate rich people.
“We only talk about cars, really. If you look at our Instagrams, we rarely post photos of us and the car.” Hao Yu, freshman
“American students have a different money mindset,” Yu said. “They try to save money to pay for their own tuition and don’t have that much spare money. My parents try to cater to my hobbies as long as they can afford them.” Unlike a lot of privileged Chinese students driving fancy cars in the California
and New York, Yu and Lin said their car club is simpler and focused more on their common interests — cars — instead of family wealth and other implications behind it. “We only talk about cars, really,” Yu said. “If you look at our Instagrams, we rarely post photos of us and the car. It’s usually just photos of cars.” Lin said he never asked about family backgrounds when recruiting new members. “We don’t want to allow vanity in the team,” he said. “As long as you’re in, everybody is equal.” The number of club members doubled in six months and still growing. They organize regular events, such as lakeside barbecues and races at tracks. In the early stage of the Lucky Seven, the dozen members split up into little groups of social circles, making it hard for Lin to hold everyone together as a whole. As members started to know one another, small friend groups merge into bigger ones, and members are more willing to participate in group activities. It means a lot to him when everyone is excited and actually wants to come
to their events, Lin said. “It’s fulfilling to see a gang of people having same interests gather around,” he said. “The club does bring joy to people.” Lin had an idea of creating his own car club when he was writing his college applications. But his passion for cars traced back to his childhood, when he rode on the passenger seat of his dad’s white BMW i8. His dad would point at cars on the street to teach him how to tell different sports cars apart and assess them. When he first came to IU, lots of things didn’t pan out
as he expected. He chose IU for its reputable Kelley School of Business but failed to get in. He had to settle for the management program in the Paul H. O’Neill School of Public and Environmental Affairs. Later he found out the second reason he chose Indiana, the Indianapolis Motor Speedway, didn’t allow private cars to drive and race on the tracks. In the sparsely populated town with few places to shop or entertain himSEE LUCKY, PAGE 6

In a report Bailey submitted to the Office of Student Conduct, he said Jang would put his hand inside Bailey’s shirt, hold Bailey’s hand and touch Bailey’s neck. Once in spring 2016, Bailey said, he was sitting in the Musical Arts Center green room with his feet on a chair and knees up. Jang put his hand down Bailey’s pants and touched his upper thigh. Bailey said he pushed Jang away. “And he responded laughing hysterically, because he had power, and this was his game,” Bailey wrote in his report, the text of which he provided to the IDS. Bailey testified at Jang’s hearing in front of a panel of two faculty members and a student, he said. “Everything I was saying, they looked at me like they’d heard it 10 times before,” Bailey said. Max Mulpagano, another senior bassist, said he thought Jang seemed charismatic when they first met, but he started to realize things were more complicated. Once, Jang told Mulpagano he would have to be Jang’s boyfriend if he wanted to play for Jang. “He’s really good with manipulating his social influence,” Mulpagano said. At a recital in January 2018 backstage at IU’s Auer Hall, Mulpagano said Jang unbuttoned Mulpagano’s shirt and touched his chest. Mulpagano said he can’t remember if he said out loud that he wanted Jang to stop, but he knows he pulled away and made it clear with his body language that he did not want to be touched.

he creates at school and elsewhere is downright dangerous,” Kline wrote in his report. “David is a rather powerful person at JSOM, and he is grossly misusing that power.” In an interview with the IDS, Kline said his view of Jang was largely positive during his first semester at IU in fall 2016. He saw the talented people Jang hung around, and Jang’s personality seemed to be wild and cool. “If you didn’t know this guy was such a predator, you would think, ‘Oh, wow, this guy is like awesome,’” Kline said.
His friend Will Kline, another bassist who said he witnessed the full incident, provided the IDS with the text of a report he filed to the university. It said Jang continued to touch Mulpagano “after asked, rather assertively, to stop.” Kline, a junior, also documented other abuses he was aware of in his report. He said Jang would diminish students’ musical abilities and that he would grope or kiss students without their consent. “I've seen and heard of David's misbehavior for several years, and the environment

But that began to change, especially the following year when he heard how uncomfortable Jang was making other students. Kline started to avoid parties and other events if he knew Jang would be there, he said. He had considered speaking up but figured one voice wouldn't make a difference, especially because he was never directly affected.

performance major said, he had known of many instances such as this one where Jang used his power to hurt students. Farquharson put four posts on a Snapchat story after he got off the phone criticizing the way people still hung around a man they claimed to hate. “I’m honestly getting real mf tired of people talking about sexual misconduct but then people still flocking to him like Mother Goose,” one of the posts provided by Farquharson read. Although Farquharson didn’t call Jang out by name, he said many people knew exactly who he was talking about. Throughout the years, Farquharson said he watched as Jang harassed and bullied his friends and other students. He told the IDS he was “constantly hearing a new David terrorization story.” Everyone always seemed upset but too afraid to say anything, Farquharson said. People assumed Jang had more connections and opportunities than other students could get, even though that wasn’t always true. “I have no reason to truly fear David,” he said. After talking to a faculty member, he learned he could report Jang to the university. He submitted a report Jan. 26. Then, as Farquharson told others how they could report Jang, it seemed as if a dam broke. The reports of alleged misconduct piled in from people who said they had seen and experienced it. A group met with music school dean Gwyn Richards, and the students involved said he didn’t know about the allegations against Jang until they SEE SECRET, PAGE 8 Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) — Today is an 8 — You're especially brilliant, with Mercury in Taurus.

Prove them wrong Volleyball has consumed Krista Vansant’s life, but the doubters and hardships continue to motivate her success. By Stefan Krajisnik stefkraj@iu.edu | @skrajisnik3
Krista Vansant’s accomplishments on the court have helped her become one of the most recognizable people around collegiate volleyball, but now her mission is centered around coaching. After her first season as assistant coach of IU volleyball, Vansant will have the opportunity to coach some of the NCAA’s top athletes while improving her own coaching skills. Vansant will help coach Team USA’s National Collegiate Team in May during the team’s Japan Tour. To get to this point, Vansant had to put aside her love for playing to pursue a new path in the sport. * * * Krista Vansant missed prom. She thought about college before most of her peers thought about getting a driver’s license. She constantly has a smile on her face, but she has also spent many nights crying with her mom. Many of her friends in Southern California did not understand the recruiting process she dealt with each day, yet some still questioned the decision she made to attend the University of Washington in 2011. “My peers in high school were like ‘You’re so dumb. You can go to UCLA, what are you doing?’” Vansant said. “It was really challenging to me. I felt like I was being judged all the time.” But those friends with hindsight can see where they might have been better suited to keep those thoughts to themselves. While she turned down top volleyball programs like Penn State and StanfordUniversity, Vansant found a home in Seattle. As a junior, Vansant was named the 2013 American Volleyball Coaches Association National Player of the Year and won the same honors from ESPNW her senior season. She is the all-time kills leader at Washington, and those people who judged soon became notifications on Vansant’s phone again. “It was definitely a hard decision and people didn’t really understand it for a long time until I got there,” Vansant said. “Then I would get messages from high school kids — I wouldn’t call them friends — but high school peers being like ‘Oh, I see why you went there.’” The decision to attend Washington came after a recruiting process that be-

gan early in middle school. Vansant said each visit to each school made her want to commit, but thankfully her mom Tricia Vansant was there to help keep her patient. Her mom was also there to help her balance the hardships of making such a big decision. “It provided a lot of pressure,” Tricia said. “She was so young that had she been a little older, it would have been a bit easier for her.” “It was a very overwhelming process for me,” Krista said. “People think that when you get recruited at a really young age, life is great.” While Krista said much of her social life growing up was “normal teenage kid stuff,” most of her days were spent in a cycle of school, practice, homework and sleep. Tricia played basketball at Loyola Marymount University in the late 1980s and into the early 1990s, but Krista never got into the sport because she would constantly foul out. Krista began playing club volleyball when she was 8, but the grind of becoming the nation’s best collegiate player started much sooner. “We taught her how to use her volleyball arms when she was 2,” Tricia said. “It was definitely her passion, and she was lucky that her passion and her talent matched up.” Jim McLaughlin, who was the coach at Washington at the time, wrote Krista a 12page document listing how she would benefit from being at Washington and how her four years could play out
with the team. McLaughlin came through on most of his promises, and when Krista’s career at Washington ended, she was able to continue playing professionally in Switzerland. However, the style of play did not fit Krista, and she decided to quit playing after less than a year. “Krista has always been the happy-go-lucky, just gowith-the-flow type of person, but when she was over there, she was miserable,” Tricia said. “It was really hard being her mom knowing that she was struggling.” That’s when Krista decided she would look to take her knowledge of the sport and put it to use as a coach. During the 2016 and 2017 seasons, Vansant returned to Washington as a program assistant. “It’s been a good transition,” Krista said. “I enjoy myself every day. I still get to be around the game and watch a ton of it on TV.” Krista’s return to Washington included a surprise — or at least what was supposed to be a surprise. The Huskies decided to retire the No. 16 Vansant jersey on Nov. 8, 2017. But Krista was close friends with the director of operations Bobbi Sumpter. “She is not very good at keeping secrets,” Krista said. “She told me, and I was blown away. I was completely shocked.” Krista’s jersey joined Courtney Thompson’s No. 3 jersey as the only ones retired in program history. Before the ceremony, Krista had to give a speech at an
event with donors and teammates where she promised herself that she would keep her emotions in check. “I’m not gonna cry. I’ll be all right,” Krista recalls telling herself ahead of the day. That promise was shortlived as Washington Coach Keegan Cook’s speech before Krista’s made her cry. “It was Keegan’s fault,” Krista said. Tricia cried when she walked into the arena earlier in the day and saw the black cloth in the rafters that had the No. 16 jersey underneath it. “Even just thinking about it brings tears to my eyes,” Tricia said. “It was just so surreal that she was able to do something so big, and they acknowledged it.” * * * A month after the jersey retirement, Krista made the trip to Kansas City, Kansas, for the women’s volleyball Final Four where she expressed her interest in coaching to Steve Aird. They established a relationship throughout their careers thanks to mutual friends and competition. The Final Four was a familiar setting for the both of them, as Aird was an assistant coach for Penn State when the team defeated Washington in the 2013 semifinals. The following season they faced off again in Aird’s first season as head coach of a struggling Maryland team. Krista was able to win that battle.
“She was an absolute nightmare to try to defend,” Aird said. “As a coach, someone that kept you up at night.” Less than two weeks after the Final Four, Aird was named the head coach of IU volleyball. Adding Krista to the staff was a no-doubter for Aird, and she was named an assistant coach less than a month later. “She understands the game. She trained at the highest level,” Aird said. “Making the transition to coaching volleyball is difficult and sometimes can be frustrating for elite players because certain things don’t come as easy to other people.” Krista has always considered herself “one of the boys” and developed a close bond with Aird and fellow assistant coach Daniel Gwitt on and off the court. Aird’s mission at Indiana, a program that went 1-19 in Big Ten play the season before he was hired, was to establish more than a competitive team. Instead, he wanted to establish a fun culture at IU that has rarely been seen around the volleyball program. “I’m learning how to run a business,” Krista said. “That’s not something I was anticipating getting into, but I’ve definitely bought into it.” In her first season coaching IU, the team went 7-13 in conference play and contended for a postseason spot until the final week of play. Aird said Krista’s success as a player helped her as a coach, but it was the hardships she went through that made her
a coach the players could relate and look up to. Krista has also racked up miles in the air by frequently going on recruiting trips or spending time with potential transfers. It’s a part of the game she isn’t used to, but Aird has seen her become a strong piece in bringing in quality players — especially from the west coast. “In the Pacific Northwest, she’s a legend,” Aird said. “The number one thing is being authentic and being true to who you are, and she does a great job of that.” * * * In Japan, Krista will be working under Heather Olmstead, who coached Brigham Young University to a Final Four last season. She said she will treat the experience as a chance to develop skills from other great coaches and look to use that in her second season with the Hoosiers. “Being able to represent not only the U.S., but IU on that stage is going to be really cool,” Krista said. The Big Ten will still be the nation’s toughest conference when she comes back, but it will continue to be an opportunity for her and her staff to turn around a struggling program in impressive fashion. Her peers have doubted her before, and many people doubt that IU will ever rise to the top in such a difficult conference. It will just be another chance for her to make people swallow their words.

IDS investigation finds fountain overusing water By Vivek Rao vivrao@iu.edu
An Indiana Daily Student analysis found the Frank E. McKinney Jr. Fountain outside Simon Music Library used an unusually large amount of water between July 2017 and June 2018. Questions from the IDS about this finding triggered an investigation by IU Utility Services which found a faulty connection caused the fountain to waste an unknown amount of water. Data obtained through a public records request showed McKinney Fountain used more than 38 million gallons of water between July 2017 and June 2018. IU Utility Services later amended the number to a little more than 12 million gallons of water — still higher than any other consumer in the dataset, which included only academic buildings. The second-highest consumer, the Chemistry Building, used 8,537,820 gallons of water in the same period. Read our complete analysis of all utility data at idsnews. com Mark Menefee, assistant director for IU Utility Services, said campus fountains are filled with water when they start running every season and then reuse the same water, only getting additional water to make up for any lost due to evaporation or wind. However, readings from

He started to connect with other Chinese students by creating groups on social media, mainly WeChat, the app most Chinese students use. He created a Chinese freshmen group, Willkie Quadrangle residents group, Zhejiang Province group, PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds group and more. “Chinese students are all in this very small circle linked by all the WeChat groups,” Lin said. “There’s no one I don’t know or I can’t reach through friends.” Then he founded the car club. He reached out to the headquarter of Lucky Seven Club, a high-end car club based in Beijing consisting of more than 400 social elites from different fields. He discussed terms with the headquarter and founded the Bloomington chapter as the leader. Six months later, this car club has become central to his life. “It enriches my life, gives

a water meter showed the McKinney Fountain kept renewing itself with an almost equal amount of water every month. IU utilities data analyst Andrea Moore said on April 17 the high water usage reading could have been caused by faulty meter readings, underground leaks, faulty control valves or other equipment issues. Menefee said Wednesday the issue was in fact a faulty
connection between the water level sensor and the control valve. It is believed that the valve didn’t properly close and the reservoir underneath the fountain was constantly being filled. The excess water was drained into the sewer system via an overflow pipe. It’s unknown how much extra water was wasted by this faulty connection because Utility Services doesn’t know how much
water the fountain should be using when it functions properly. The fountain’s water meter has been replaced and Utility Services is continuing to monitor the readings. In addition, an annual maintenance team resurfaced the fountain’s concrete, in case water was lost through cracks. As part of the investigation, Menefee said Utility Services is considering
controlling the McKinney Fountain’s valves manually. Menefee said IU Utility Services is also now looking into Showalter Fountain to confirm its metering is adequate. Part of the reason the high usage wasn’t investigated earlier is because IU’s utility data management software flags only changes between months. Because the fountain’s use was consistent between operating
months, it wasn’t flagged as an anomaly. As IU Utility Services transitions to a new utility data management software, Moore said she hopes they will be able to identify anomalies quicker. “The use of utility metering on campus helps Utility Services find anomalies in the data that should be investigated and problems remedied when necessary,” Menefee said in an email.
me a sense of belonging, and helped me find more friends to play cars with,” Lin said. For 18-year-olds, starting life in a foreign country without friends can be daunting. Different languages, different foods, different cultures — these huge gaps in every aspects of life make it harder for these young people to adapt.
figuring out their personalities and values, international students can get lost. They are out of their comfort zone and don’t know how to fit in. Being in a foreign country only accents the sense of loneliness. “My first year here I felt so depressed,” Yu said, “I just wanted to stay home, because I didn’t want to socialize and didn’t know what I was supposed to do.” He tried to befriend local students through a fraternity and a baseball team. Most people were nice, but he couldn’t fit in because he didn’t know or understand certain cultural references. “I have not watched any of the cartoons they talked about,” Yu said. “And they haven’t seen any of the shows I watched.” In Lucky Seven, Yu met people who come from similar backgrounds who share the same interests. “At first I just wanted to meet more people,” Yu said. “Some have had cars for longer and know more about cars. I learned a lot by watching them care for their cars and modify them.” Lin didn’t like parties or alcohol. With his car enthusiast friends, he found his place.

a sustainable network with far-reaching benefits that link back to the original Lucky Seven in China. “The current Chinese members in Beijing are already social elites and successful businessmen,” Lin said. “When we go back to China, we can still be active as members and share the existing resources. As we have fun as a group, we are also paving the way for future potentials.” Speaking of what Lucky Seven means to him, Lin said he is happier now. “It’s just my life now,” he said. “I spend a lot of time with my members. Besides school, I come to hang out with these people. I just go with the flows.” In their minds, they are no different from any other Chinese students, worried about school and struggling to understand English. As exams approach, Lin and his friends are getting busy with school. They study until late night at the libraries like everyone else. The only difference is they drive home in their expensive cars. Some interviews in this story were conducted in Chinese and translated by reporter Yue Sun.

Teenage girls on a school bus once waved at him while he was waiting for the signal to turn green. He waved back and saw giggles and screams broke out silently behind the windows. He pretended he didn’t see the drama and drove away. He felt more embarrassed than flattered. But it always feels good when people come up and tell him he has a nice car. Duckett, the club’s photographer, comes from a small town in Tennessee. He can sense the differences between him and these Chinese students whose slim-cut slacks draw a sharp contrast to his own sweatpants. He personally believes in the American ideal of being self-made, and he’s currently paying off his Nissan Sentra SR loans. Still, Duckett thinks these Chinese students aim to

Another time, he was in his friend’s red Porsche Cayenne on the way to a vehicle maintenance store when a white guy coming from the opposite direction flipped them off in his car, out of the blue.

In class, he would often make things awkward by trying to sound cool, telling them about his habits at bars or making weirdly sexual comments or jokes. “Just in general, he kind of seemed a little creepy sometimes,” she said.

came forward. The dean’s office declined to talk for this article, citing FERPA. * * * One of Jang’s roles was conducting the all-campus orchestra, a class for nonmusic majors who play string instruments. Carmen Paul-García, a senior Spanish education major who plays viola in the orchestra, said music professor Frank Diaz took over the class about halfway through the semester. At the beginning of one rehearsal, Paul-García said, students were told Jang was no longer in charge because he had overcommitted himself. Paul-García said it made sense to her at the time. This was her fourth semester being led by Jang in the orchestra, and she said he would often cancel class, both in advance and last minute. It felt like Jang didn’t think they were good enough, she said, especially because he would bring in Jacobs string students to play in the concerts as if he were trying make

He clenches his jaw in concentration, and the muscles in his forearm flex as his fingers zero in on the notes.
