這起關於楊某媛的事件，可以說是由一連串的學術爭議、道德質疑與輿論反彈交織而成，最終導致她失去原本到手的香港浸會大學博士錄取資格。

事情追溯到她與同校同學肖某某之間的糾紛。2025年7月25日，武漢經開區法院對楊某媛的訴訟作出一審判決，駁回她的全部請求。法院認定，她指控肖某某「隔空性騷擾」並不成立，對方當時的動作其實只是因皮膚病而下意識地抓癢，並非帶有性暗示或騷擾意圖。這個判決等於在法律層面上否定她的指控。

然而，判決後的楊某媛並未選擇低調或公開道歉，反而在社交平台上高調展示自己的「三喜臨門」——保送研究所成功、通過國家司法考試，以及即將赴港攻讀博士學位。更具爭議的是，她還在網路上暗示將繼續針對肖某某，這種言行引發輿論的強烈反感，外界普遍認為她在敗訴後仍不反思，態度傲慢。

就在網路討論不斷升溫之際，有人開始翻查她的學術背景，結果發現她的碩士學位論文存在多處嚴重問題，包括篡改數據、虛構法律條文（如虛構《離婚法》內容）、錯誤引用世界衛生組織的資料等。這些爆料讓她的學術誠信備受質疑。

2025年7月31日，香港浸會大學向她發出一封「道德問題核查函」，明確表示如果查實存在違規或不當行為，將取消她的博士錄取資格。三天後，即8月3日，校方正式啟動獨立審查程序，全面調查她的學術與道德問題。

隨著調查進行，8月6日，香港浸會大學在未發布公開聲明的情況下，悄然將她的名字從博士擬錄取名單中刪除。雖然沒有對外公告，但這個動作等於正式宣告她的博士入學資格被取消，並且是依據校內程序作出的決定。與此同時，武漢大學也展開行動，對她的碩士學位論文以及涉及肖某某的校紀處分進行復核，結果尚未公布。而肖某某的家屬則公開表示，這場事件讓他們承受巨大壓力，並正透過司法途徑維護權益。

整起事件從法律糾紛延燒至學術誠信，再擴大到社會輿論場，最終在短短半個月內，讓楊某媛從「保研、法考、讀博」的光鮮形象，急轉直下成為失去博士資格、聲譽受損的爭議人物。

This incident involving Yang Mouyuan is a complex entanglement of academic controversy, moral questions, and public backlash, which ultimately cost her the doctoral admission she had already secured at Hong Kong Baptist University (HKBU).

The origins of the matter trace back to her dispute with a fellow student, Xiao Moumou. On July 25, 2025, the Wuhan Economic and Technological Development Zone Court handed down a first-instance ruling, rejecting all of Yang’s claims. The court determined that her accusation of “long-distance sexual harassment” against Xiao was unfounded, concluding that Xiao’s actions at the time were simply an unconscious scratching motion caused by a skin condition, without any sexual implication or intent to harass. This ruling effectively nullified her allegations in the eyes of the law.

However, instead of keeping a low profile or issuing a public apology after the ruling, Yang chose to make a high-profile display on social media, boasting about her “triple success” — being recommended for graduate study without exams, passing the national bar exam, and securing a PhD offer in Hong Kong. Even more controversially, she hinted online that she intended to continue targeting Xiao, which provoked strong public outrage. Many criticized her for being arrogant and unreflective after losing her case.

As online discussion intensified, netizens began scrutinizing her academic record and uncovered serious issues with her master’s thesis. These included data fabrication, inventing legal provisions (such as fictional clauses of the Divorce Law), and misquoting statistics from the World Health Organization. These revelations raised grave doubts about her academic integrity.

On July 31, 2025, HKBU issued her a “moral conduct review notice,” clearly stating that if misconduct or violations were substantiated, her doctoral admission would be revoked. Three days later, on August 3, the university formally launched an independent review process to thoroughly investigate her academic and ethical conduct.

Following the investigation, on August 6, HKBU quietly removed her name from its list of provisionally admitted PhD students, without issuing a public announcement. Nonetheless, the removal signaled an official decision to rescind her admission, carried out under the university’s internal procedures.

Meanwhile, Wuhan University also took action, initiating a review of both her master’s thesis and the disciplinary measures involving Xiao, with results yet to be released. Xiao’s family publicly stated that they had suffered immense pressure from the ordeal and were seeking justice through legal channels.

From a legal dispute, the situation spiraled into an academic integrity scandal, and eventually became a matter of heated public debate. In less than two weeks, Yang’s once-polished image of “graduate school, bar exam, PhD” collapsed, leaving her without the doctoral admission and with her reputation severely tarnished.
