SIX male teachers with a privately owned vocational school in Qingdao City, Shandong Province, were sacked or suspended in the wake of the death of a female student during a late-night drinking party, the school said late Wednesday.
Also, three administrators at Qingdao Qiushi Vocational School were given warnings by the province's education bureau in the case.
The teachers had invited 19-year-old Liu Xiao'ao and four other students, two male and two female, for late-night beers at a restaurant on October 27. Nine of them consumed 48 bottles of beer, police said.
Liu was very drunk and accidentally fell from a bathroom window on the fourth floor of the restaurant, Qingdao police said in a report released this week. The police ruled out homicide, which many people posting on Weibo suspected was the cause.
Liu's family has received 600,000 yuan (US$96,300) in compensation from the local government. Officials said they will try to recover that amount - 360,000 yuan from the school and 240,000 yuan from the restaurant.
Though Liu's father questioned the motives of the six male teachers, the school insisted it was a just accident.
"It is a very normal incident. Why are so many people paying so much attention?" a school official said.
