The university has responded to backlash as well. “The online abuse directed at our student is malicious and harmful,” it said in a statement to the Record. “We are providing the student with the necessary support.”

Prajapati confirmed as much, telling the Star that help from the school, including counselling, is what’s getting him through this. He called it a “strong pillar” of support for him.

Good on the school for defending him. Unfortunate that they'd need to.
